I found this video while searching for intersectionality on YouTube. I found it really interesting because it brings up points that we have discussed in class before. This video is based on rap/hip-hip culture and how it is controversial. It talks about sex, pornography, race, femenism, gender roles, and society in the African American communities. On Monday we brought up the the dichotomy of whore vs. virgin. This speaker talks about how men expect women to be sexy and seductive but also be virginial. The artisit Lil' Kim, is being used as an example. Her infamous lyrics and public image are criticized widely especially by men. She is seen as a whore and a disgrace to African women because of her attitude and carefree persona. This video gives a clear explanation of the rap culture and how it is criticized by using Lil' Kim's life, image, and music. It is very interesting, gives many facts and important details about these social issues.
