How To Become A Ghetto Black Fierce Chick
In this supposed “post racial America” how is this type of video to be taken? I don’t like to jump at the “R” word first so I try to look at things
from different angles. That being said, I was going to assume that this was a failed attempt at comedy. Then the watermelon and KFC earrings showed up. The “R” word is beating at the back of my lips to burst out. I don’t like to call misguided attempts at humor as racism. People make mistakes but there are a lot of mistakes in this video. But with the Reese’s chocolate black face, stereotype earrings, pillow in the pants to the horrendously ignorant soundtrack, I’m running out of different angles to look at this from.
How can you not see a problem with making and publicly posting a video like this. I foresee problems for her much like or worse than the college girl who made the anti Asian student rant and posted it to the Internet.
