I really wish I could have...it's really long though.

[mrsmcmillen]

Please pass this around in emails...it might he hard for some to watch but it needs to be seen.

this video goes with this poem... it shows you really how we degrad ourselves... because girls dont know until that watch this and see for themselves and say to themselves this is what im doing...I need to stop and have respect for myself because if I dont who will.... good job to whomever made this video

Thank You...The first time I heard this was on her live album and it shook me to the core because I was driving through my old neighborhood and the song just came to life.

This song makes me cry, I can't even finish the video. Men don't know how low it makes a woman feel when she is treated like a piece of meat on the street and the people around just laugh at it or think its cute. I was sexually harassed and humiliated for not talking to grown ass men when I was 10 years old, all because I had the "thickness". And I wasn't even degrading myself like the females in this video.

i can't even describe this vid

i feel like crying because before i turned 13 even though i have not had any sexual relations with anyone and still haven't now, i was harassed as a child just because i started growing much quicker than others and as jill stated i had thickness. i looked like a grown woman by the age of 9 and was being called fat and all this crap. i decided to be thankful for all the things that God has blessed me with.don't have sex cause your friends r. save ur innocence plz

Wish these rump shakers in some of the other video could listen to this. wish I could respond to the video called Walmart-Mr.Ghetto "New Orleans Bounce" Summer 2011.

I just do not know how to upload this video in response to their nasty abuse of females video. The girls are nasty too and need guidance.

I love this song great job with the video

[MsSupreme92]

this song is so true and real. suntimes i ask myself how women can put themselves down like this... Men will always misuse the inferior thinking of women, i mean even women do. such thinking developes at child age and is soo sad.

She’s been degraded, exploited, NOT celebrated,Saturated with self hatred,Cause every time she turns on the TV,What does she see, big ol' booty,And it don’t have nothing to do with the song,

[hellokittycutie2003]

I know this vid was made over 2 years ago, but I'm so glad i found this slice of real. I'm so glad my mama taught me modesty. How to be a woman...a sexy woman at that, and still keep the modesty. I've been 5'7 with a woman's body since I was 9 (I'll be 22 in a month). So many young women AND men need to hear and watch this video.

I LOVE IT!!!!!

[shanycehenley2288]

women need to really start celebrating women in a positive way. FIRST

[blackbeautyoftheyear]

Thats the whole point of the song @ MrMirKuja shes sayin we need to teach our young girls that they are worth more than just their body and their looks. Therefore they wont just accept anything and go for everything LOVE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE AS A FEMALE OF COLOR !!!!
