What does Taylor do that makes her a role model? I really dont know, and im not trying to discredit her. But i do know of a situation where she could have empowered women of color, and like many faux feminist, she dropped the ball again. Does feminism only matter when those being defended are skinny pale and blonde with blue eyes?

Do you have children? Who would you rather your 8 year daughter be a fan of and is a positive influence on her?

A video that fetishes black womens features and bodies. I was actually shocked and saddened to see that. Didnt think that taylor was as culturally deftone as that video showed. Her comments yesterday back it up

Why is it her responsibility to do so? She doesn't have to do a damn thing for society as far as I'm concerned.

These black female "artists" need to do take care of their own first.

Earlier this year, Comso magazine, a premier beauty magazine in our country, list trends that needed to die. All of the "RIP" trends we represented by black women. All of the "gorgeous" trends were represented by white women. This is just one of many "mishaps" and "mistakes" that continues to happen. What we end up doing is driving home a message to women of color, that they are ugly, inferior and do not have the redeemable or desirable attributes white women had.

We already know how fragile and how insecure women can be about beauty. How would you feel if this was your
daughter? *cues parenting/be a better parent arguement* You cant shield your kids from the whole world.

Cosmo thinks taylor > nikki

have you never seen any of tay's giving and philanthropy? Have you ever noticed how she has become a household name that parents and kids alike are not embarrassed to listen to together? How she doesn't have to lower her standards or values to gain immense popularity? Unlike so many child stars? I could go on and on

If I had a child, I would be a wide range of women to be role models for her, and entertainers would probably be low on the least. I wouldnt pick Taylor becauses shes a faux feminist, and may actually pick portions of Nikki persona because she tries to empower the underappreciated. But of course i wouldnt let her watch that video or rap her raps until she was out of the house

Do you know the meaning of the word "epic"?

If so, how many times a day do you use it?

It is amazing one commercial put this word in everyone's vocabulary.

Hasn't Minaj had arse implants?

Tay promotes a more natural beauty. She could follow in many others' footsteps and get boob implants. But nope she's confident in who she is without giving into society's whims

Why is it Taylors? She claims to be a gung-ho feminist. If youre gonna represent women, represent them all and acknowledge the invididual and particular struggles certain groups of women have that others dont. If not, youre just a phony that is only looking to protect the self interest of those that look like you. If thats the case, be about it.

Black female artist have been doing it, but they constantly get rejected by mass media in favor of watered down arts or arts that steal from or borrow from black arts in a disgraceful way. What does it say to little black boys and girls and other children of color if we dont recognize people that look like them and their contributions? It says that they dont matter. #blacklivesmatter.

Recognition and symbols are important. If they weren't, then we wouldnt celebrate the importance of the Hank Aarons, Jackie Robinsons, and Jim Browns of the world.

I have not, I do not listen to alot of pop. Mostly reggae and indie stuff at the moment. Yes she has that "girl next door appeal" from what ive seen, but ive also seen her to be quite confrontational and aggressive with apple and other current events.
