Has anyone read "Take Back The Music" what is your opinion.

I will post the link to the Essence Magazine "Take Back The Music" which has articles as well as who to contact at the major networks regarding the negative sterotypes of us. Whether you are puertorican, black, dominican etc. we are all viewed in these negative sterotypes. Why do we allow it? Will we write, email or phone our complaints. Or do you think the video girls make their own decisions? why is it a minority woman gets her ass groped in movies and videos and the white girls don't? why are we letting ourselves be pictured in this way? I hope you care enough to write, email or phone.

That is why I work everyday, and my book soon will feature new hispanic characters. That show some good light. I am trying to change that image.

We are heroic people, not thugs.

Yeah, I read that, and have (LONG SINCE) agreed, well before this "music" had reached the lows that it has...
