Scott Urges Better Portrayal for Women

HOUSTON (AP) - The portrayal of black women in popular music and videos is too often degrading and the black community must find a way to change these images, best-selling singer Jill Scott said Monday. "It is dirty, inappropriate, inadequate, unhealthy and polluted," Scott said.

And true? Nothing ever hurts so much as the truth, now does it. In reality, though, the amazing thing is how well black women are portrayed by the general media. That's of course discounting any videotapes from Katrina. And as far as the "black community" finding a way to change anything, there would have to be one to begin with, because single mothers with lots of kids do not a real community make. Thank the lefties for this, Ms. Scott. And not for nothing, dear, but if you want to erase certain stereotypes then you could afford to lose a few pounds.

Pot calling the kettle, etc.
