She’s the first female artist to accomplish this feat without any feature or accompaniment in 19 years. Cardi B took her massive hit song, “Bodak Yellow”, to the top. The reason why her rise to the top of the Billboard 100 chart is so important, besides the obvious accomplishment, is for the overall stand- ing of women in the Hip-Hop Industry. Many fe- male artists have been on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart but not as a solo artist. These women tend Photo Courtesy of Getty Images Getty of Courtesy Photo to be accompanied or serve as a feature. Soci- ety’s view on women in the industry doesn’t even hold a light to the men. Even though women like Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, Remy Ma, Eve, Cardi B and Lauryn Hill seem to dominate, women can still be classified as a second class. In an interview with the Breakfast Club, Rick Ross stated that if he hired a female artist he would end up having sex with them. That statement along with some powerful lyrics in his song, U.O.E.N.O, seemed to promote a rape culture. However, women continue to strive to not industry is viewed.

    “WHAT DON’T BLACK GIRLS DO?” : CONSTRUCTIONS OF DEVIANCE AND THE PERFORMANCE OF BLACK FEMALE SEXUALITY by KIARA M. T. HILL JENNIFER SHOAFF, COMMITTEE CHAIR UTZ MCKNIGHT RACHEL RAIMIST A THESIS In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Gender and Race Studies in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2015 Copyright Kiara Monique Hill 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This research interrogates the ways in which Black women process and negotiate their sexual identities. By connecting the historical exploitation of Black female bodies to the way Black female deviant identities are manufactured and consumed currently, I was able to show not only the evolution of Black women’s attitudes towards sexuality, but also the ways in which these attitudes manifest when policing deviancy amongst each other. Chapter 1 gives historical insight to the way that deviancy has been inextricably linked to the construction of Blackness. Using the Post-Reconstruction Era as my point of entry, I demonstrate the ways in which Black bodies were stigmatized as sexually deviant, and how the use of Black caricatures buttressed the consumption of this narrative by whites. I explain how countering this narrative became fundamental to the evolution of Black female sexual politics, and how ultimately bodily agency was later restored through sexual deviancy. Chapter 2 interrogates the way “authenticity” is propagated within the genre of reality TV. Black women are expected to perform deviant identities that coincide with controlling images so that the “authenticity” of Black womanhood is consumed by mainstream audiences.

  • Hollywoodrituals I Am Glad I Am Not Famous Hollywood Transgender
    The Truth About the Entertainment Industry - #HollywoodRituals Aug. 27, 2020 Syndicated Columnist www.CathyHarrisInternational.com As a Syndicated Columnist and Investigative Reporter, I loved writing and researching at an early age. My current topic that I have been working on for two months – #HollywoodTrangenderAgenda, has to be the hardest topic that I ever reported on. Others reporting on the topic seem to have a lot of hatred and disrespect while trying to educate others. That is definitely not what I want to attract in my life so I have ended my research on this topic with this post. I have tried my best to be as sensitive as possible when reporting on this topic and I do apologize up-front if I have offended anyone. I Am Glad I Am Not Famous I came close to being famous when I blew the whistle on my job (www.TheCathyHarrisStory.com) and appeared on Oprah’s Oxygen Channel. During this time, I was contacted by Queen Latifah people’s twice to try to get me on her show to tell about the humiliation of black women who travel in and out of this country. I am so glad my life steered me in another direction and kept me on track. Again, in order to be RICH and FAMOUS, Hollywood (aka “The Entertainment Industry”) forces you to live with the same sex person or become inverted by changing your sex, raise inverted kids (raise girls as boys and boys as girls), and now they are attempting to legalize pedophilia and this is indeed a #HollywoodRitual.

  • The FCC and Reality Television Briana N
    S avannah Law Review VOLUME 5 │ NUMBER 1 The False Reality of the African American Culture: The FCC and Reality Television Briana N. Tookes* Abstract Television is the gateway of communication across the world, as it projects the news, educational information, and entertainment for viewers. However, television gives false perceptions about the realities of the world, especially pertaining to different cultures, such as the African American culture. Since the beginning of television, the perception of African Americans and their culture has continued to be displayed under a false light: a demeaning light that gives viewers skewed perceptions about the truths of the African American community. Today, reality television itself plays a huge role in creating this “false reality” of the lives of African Americans in the entertainment world or the pathway for an African American to be successful in America. These issues partly rise from television regulation (or the lack thereof) and how past and current regulation has led to the continuous exploitation of African American culture in reality television. This Note will call out the real issues of reality television, and show that television regulation is needed in areas where the public’s interest is protected, show that content regulation laws should be reevaluated, and show that extending game show regulation to reality television regulation may prevent exploitation. Also, a change in reality television would be impactful if African American participants did not allow themselves to be subject to images that degrade themselves to be aired to the public eye, which not only affects them, but also the entire African American culture as well.

    More Praise for The Sisters Are Alright “The Sisters Are Alright is a love letter to black women. Winfrey Harris’s unapologetic celebration of our intelligence, mettle, and beauty counters the proliferation of negative stereotypes we endure daily. She sees us, she knows us, and she also understands that we’re not monolithic. Winfrey Harris sur- faces stories about black women’s realities that are often glossed over or tossed aside, urgently insisting with beautiful prose that contrary to our cul- tural narrative, black women’s lives matter.” —Jamia Wilson, Executive Director, Women, Action, and the Media “Tamara Winfrey Harris picks up where Ntozake Shange left off, adding an eighth color to the rainbow of For Colored Girls. This academic work reads like a choreopoem that challenges the notion that black women are too tough to love or be loved. The author does more than deconstruct the stereotype of Sapphire; she asserts that black women are diamonds, and she insists that her reader consider their sparkle.” —Duchess Harris, PhD, Professor of American Studies, Macalester College, and author of Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Obama “Tamara Winfrey Harris’s book The Sisters Are Alright is a fi tting answer to the question W. E. B. Du Bois said all black Americans are forced to consider: ‘How does it feel to be a problem?’ In a society that treats black people as problems and women as problems, it is nothing short of revolutionary to an- swer, as this book does, ‘No, really, the sisters are alright.’” —Jarvis DeBerry, journalist, The Times-Picayune, NOLA.com “The Sisters Are Alright is written with the same honest, compassionate tone Tamar a Winfrey Harris is known for.
