For example, the essay addresses the problem of the lack of eligible black men attending college (Henry, West, and Jackson 245). The definition of eligible could be interpreted as attending college and a path to some sort of success. Because there is a shortage of eligible young men. “Black women believe they must succumb to the whims and pleasures of men to find a partner” because that is the image they are shown when young girls in hip hop videos do seductive things. in order to attract the attention of a male (Henry, West and Jackson 245). One of the most terrible effects is that music destroys black women's self-perception, making it difficult for young black women to "demonstrate personal pride" (Henry, West, and Jackson 245). “The widespread perception of black women is based on dominant misogyny” and because it is the main social norm and a way for black youth to be unified “[Black women] accept stereotypical views and unconscious behaviors who devalue women and esteem men. ”(Henry, West, and Jackson 245). As long as hip hop continues to thrive on misogyny and people continue to ignore that it is a problem, black women will continue to reap the internal and sometimes physical feelings.
