Have I told y'all how much I dislike the music on the radio? Well one of my least favorite songs on the radio right now is "Shawty, I don't mind" by Usher. In this song he says, and I quote, "Shawty I don't mind if you dance on a pole, that don't make you a ho." His stripper 'girlfriend' has gotten an entire song written about her and how hard-working she is...taking off her clothes and dancing naked for strangers.
Buuuuuuut, who's going to make a song about me? I want somebody to drop 16 bars about me attaining two masters degrees, managing 30 staff. Hell, rap about my vitae or my mutual funds. If the only thing this generation of young black girls sees are strippers and Basketball Wives glorified, what do you think they will aspire to?
So, while you trap queens have Franklins raining on your body I'm going to continue to be the best Educator I can be.

ReplyDeleteWow! And oh so true! You can't even listen to the radio with your daughter due to some of these songs. As long as we have strong, educated black women such as yourself, there is still hope! Thank you for all you do.
