…and while we are at it, can these African artists stop preferentially using obviously non African or biracial women in their videos as the object of their interest? Goodness, isn’t it enough that American Blacks do that? And now we have home-grown music telling us that the average African woman is not good enough! To these male artists I tell you, if all or most of the women in your videos are several shades fairer than you, you have a problem! You are living in countries where the majority of women are as dark as you are. There’s no excuse! Nonsense! And then we wonder why there is an epidemic of skin bleaching and weave wearing. Just watch any hip-life or Nigerian movie video for examples.
Oh, that is except 2Face Idibia’s African Queen. That one get’s a pass.
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
