Exploring Images of African-American Women

[delirous8]

Never let yourself be defined by others you become your own definer.

I enjoyed your video. In my travels, I try to inspire others to think differently of us. Things are changing now, but quite sadly too few of us travel outside the box. Too few of us bother to learn another language. On top of this we put those sisters down that step out of the box. I'm sick of being affronted with the American images of us when I'm backpacking through Cambodia.

The only thing about this vid that really might mislead is that it in no way promotes which stereotype a young lady should fit. Of course many know, but common sense is not common to everyone... some might find one of the earlier stereotypes appealing. Moving away from all that, let's stop promoting stereotypes altogether (negative or positive) and start encouraging our young Black women to find their one true identity, which transcends race and gender. And that is in Christ.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

Why even include the Negative images at the beginning of the video? We know all too well the negative propaganda that's constantly foisted upon us. Simply make more vids that celebrate Beautiful, Strong, intelligent Black Women. There really is no need to include the negative imagery.

[flatlanderdot]

@ResearchKnowledge123 We all know that there are intelligent black women, too. Her video was to show all aspects. And, as much as people hate to admit it, there are many black women in the US who ARE ghetto. Stereotypes usually have some truth behind them in some way. I think there need to be more videos marketed to the ghetto women, about becoming more than that.

I am happy someone appreciate black women, it hurts that people in America stereotype black women, they degrade us to teeth and it really hurts me because I am lost.

Well sweetheart don't allow other people to steal your self-worth. I know that people say hurtful things about BW, they do even worse with BM. If you weren't so beautiful and elegant they would have no need to attack you. The fact of the matter is this BW are the EPITOME of FEMININITY! Europeans LOVE your skin tone, full-lips, curvaceous hips, and ample backside (i.e. tanning to the brink of cancer, lip injections, butt implants, etc). You ARE the ORIGINAL QUEEN! So hold your head up and smile..

[brownstone65]

@TheGoldenChyle you better say that....that is the truth.....I always told me daughters that other races talk down about us because they are extremely jealous of us.....
