Hip Hop Beat&Rhymes *sexism*

     I thought the presentation was very informing and on point. In todays world, a lot of females are treated and acknowledged sometimes lower then the dirt on the earth. That to me is just ridiculous! We live in a world that Is consistently revolving. There was a time years and years ago, where females in general had limited to no rights. And all though it saids law wise that all people are equal, that is certainly not the case in some ways. 

     Growing up especially in middle school, girls where familiarly recognized as the "B" word. I can remember kids 13&14 years old just acknowledging them as that without feeling any sort of remorse. Even recalling the memories now...how can these young kids possible use those vulgar words to describe females. I'm so glad that he linked it into the Rap&R&B industry because if you really watch some of today's music videos as well as in the late 90s, there usually full of countless half naked girls and a whole bunch of "hard" dudes trying to pull off a gangster act. Usually dealing with "getting money, or "f****** B******And It goes back to just being down right ignorant. Sometimes it's family oriented, or you grew up with your father acknowledging your mom as that, so they felt it was ok to do the same. 

     Nevertheless it's just good to see grown men being able to stand up for what is right in spite of all the negative influences potentially coming with taking a stand. I can't even imagine what Mr.Byron Hurt was feeling when he contemplated speaking out against the mistreatment of females. 

All the credit and props to Mr.Hurt!

Thanks Again
