Does Hip-Hop Give Women Of Color A Sense Of Power?
Absolutely NOT. It makes them seem weak, and like they need a man to provide for them.... It kind of brings back that sense of women being second class citizens, doing what they were told by the men of the house, and being treated like property. It also makes women of color seem like they're all promiscuous, and they aren't lady-like. Hip-Hop makes women of color seem like they aren't needed for their intelligence, just their looks.

I think it's a terrible correlation that the number of young women of color being raped and sexually assaulted might have something to do the image of women in hip hop videos being portrayed. I agree that hip hop has an affect on this, it's just horrible that this stereotype can have such negative consequences.
