what a load of rap crap!

Good thing I listen to good ol fashion Heavy Metal XD \m/

does anyone know where part 7 is? if u do, can u let me know. peace

as usual, she's on point.

Bell Hooks is here to speak on feminist matters, racism, and capitalism as they pertain to black people not Asians, whites, Natives, or any other group. She is fully capable of speaking on the issues of white women but that's not what this segment is about. It is not a conspiracy to leave out white women. This is a cultural examination of African-Americans experiences and semiotic representation in media.

My only problem with her logic is that she acts like Hip-hop is the only musical genre this has happened to, and that the genre is somehow special because it's a 'black' genre.

It irritates me a bit that the VERY SAME THING has happened to almost every popular genre in history, yet it apparently only really matters when it happens to a BLACK genre.

Is it so hard to instead be bothered when ANY women are treated this way? Why are black women somehow special?

Did you not see the part of the interview in which she discussed the domestic abuse of Nicole Brown-Simpson?
