Black Women Constantly Degraded in Hip-Hop

Every day, African American women are degraded and degrade themselves in music videos, on national television, for the world to see. These women are portrayed as mere sex objects, pretty face, and big butts. They are not judged by their intelligence or personality. Instead they are judged by their physical appearance and how "well" they can bounce their ass! Don't believe me, check out this video by Nelly. This video alone raised so much controversy and awareness within the Black community at large.

As a result of this video, as well as many others, BET hosted a show called "Hip Hop Vs. America." Here's a short clip.
