==Jezebel Stereotype: Then and Now==

During seasons of slavery, the bodies of African American ladies were sexualized to make a joke of them.

Jezebel was free yet she was outlined as alluring, sly, and as the scriptural reference suggests, an extraordinary seductress whose entrancing arousing quality is the absolute opposite of the honesty and devotion credited to the "genuine womanhood" of wealthy white ladies. Notwithstanding the way that Black ladies had no contribution to these pictures, and generally it was not until the 1920's that black people depicted these parts in the film. They were communicated as consistent with life portrayals. Nonetheless, social scholars claimed that as opposed to bearing any obvious similarity to Black ladies, these archetypes all the more firmly reflected white nerves about the advancing cultural ramifications of shrill endeavours by Black individuals and ladies specifically to completely take part in post-Civil War America. Post liberation nonetheless, the jezebel picture emerges out of countervailing racialized and gendered pressures setting Black and white ladies in a similar set of white male-centric craving. Ladies overall were testing men for political, social, and monetary equality and as the more fragile sex and second rate race the jezebel picture of Black ladies depicted them as utilizing their charming what's more, voracious sexuality to eclipse white female goodness and control male longing. Furthermore, at long last sapphire moved past mammy as the worker and jezebel as the alarm to just be the no limits abhorrent harbinger of what might occur if the regular male-centric and racial-cultural request was destabilized by allowing ladies and Black individuals fairness. <ref name="lsu"> Mitchell, Roland W.

The Jezebel picture is especially ruinous for Black assault survivors. As it did during subjection, this picture keeps on depicting African American victims as answerable for their attacks, regardless of the conditions. This builds up assault legends, which advance the possibility that a survivor's conduct in one way or another added to her exploitation, or that a perpetrator is less answerable for his activities. Albeit Black ladies are defense-less to these assault legends, they are likewise troubled with the extra generalization of individuals of colour as indiscriminate. As such, Black ladies get a twofold portion of assault fantasies, those that focus on all survivors and those that guarantee people of colour are particularly meriting rape.

Notwithstanding the way that Black ladies had no contribution to these pictures, and generally it was not until the 1920's that black people depicted these parts in the film.

Nonetheless, social scholars claimed that as opposed to bearing any obvious similarity to Black ladies, these archetypes all the more firmly reflected white nerves about the advancing cultural ramifications of shrill endeavours by Black individuals and ladies specifically to completely take part in post-Civil War America. Post liberation nonetheless, the jezebel picture emerges out of countervailing racialized and gendered pressures setting Black and white ladies in a similar set of white male-centric craving.

The Jezebel picture is especially ruinous for Black assault survivors.

This builds up assault legends, which advance the possibility that a survivor's conduct in one way or another added to her exploitation, or that a perpetrator is less answerable for his activities. Albeit Black ladies are defenseless to these assault legends, they are likewise troubled with the extra generalization of individuals of colour as indiscriminate. As such, Black ladies get a twofold portion of assault fantasies, those that focus on all survivors and those that guarantee people of colour are particularly meriting rape. In the event that Black ladies are seen as naturally wanton, paying little mind to the circumstance, they are in more serious danger of being accused when they are assaulted. The dread of being accused and building up the Jezebel generalization may likewise frustrate the probability that Black ladies will unveil or report their assaults. <ref name=women> Donovan, R., & Williams, M.

This builds up assault legends, which advance the possibility that a survivor's conduct in one way or another added to her exploitation, or that a perpetrator is less answerable for his activities. Albeit Black ladies are defenseless to these assault legends, they are likewise troubled with the extra generalization of individuals of colour as indiscriminate. As such, Black ladies get a twofold portion of assault fantasies, those that focus on all survivors and those that guarantee people of colour are particularly meriting rape. In the event that Black ladies are seen as naturally wanton, paying little mind to the circumstance, they are in more serious danger of being accused when they are assaulted. The dread of being accused and building up the Jezebel generalization may likewise frustrate the probability that Black ladies will unveil or report their assaults. <ref> Donovan, R., & Williams, M.

Women & Therapy, 25(3-4), 95-105. Retrieved March 20, 2021. </ref>

Moreover, subjective examinations demonstrated that Black ladies are profoundly reproachful of hypersexualized portrayals of Black ladies in media. In spite of the fact that they detailed inclination minimal individual association with these media pictures, Black ladies communicated worry for how they may consider Black ladies as an association. Taken together, these examinations give a premise from which to inspect the Jezebel generalization as introducing stereotype danger for Black women.

Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid (1984)

This song is a charity single arranged by Bob Geldof, who was the lead singer of The Boomtown RatsAfter seeing the BBC famine documentary in Ethiopia, he was inspired to make this song. Geldof wrote the lyrics, and Midge Ure of the Ultravox Band wrote the music and recorded the single, which was not a simple feat when there were so many voices involved.

According to Solome Lemma, co-founder of Africans in the Diaspora and Africa Responds on Ebola, not only did the original song establish stereotypes about Ethiopia, but it did so in a patronizing way.

'''Tracy Reece''', born on February 12, 1964, is an American fashion designer from Detroit who specializes in women’s ready-to-wear clothing, accessories, and linens. Reese is also a board member of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Fashion_Designers_of_America '''Council of Fashion Designers of America'''] since 2007. <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Reese </ref>

After spending decades in the fashion industry, Reese voices out the disparity she experienced during her time in the industry. ''“''"While being somewhat ignored by industry organizations and the media, not being taken seriously by funders and lenders, being shunned at textile fair booths", Reese describes the micro-and macro-aggressions she has to face as a black woman. <ref> https://www.elle.com/fashion/trend-reports/a33300735/tracy-reese-makers-united-detroit/ </ref>

Reese admits that she is somewhat inspired by the younger generation of Black designers. She sees how nowadays, more Young black designers nowadays have the strength and gut to demand equality, and Reese agrees that now is not the correct time to just be patient.

==Applying Sustainability Manufacturing in Detroit==

[[File:Reese1.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Tracy Reese Teaches Screen-Printing]]

In recent months, Reese has decided to come back to her hometown and she has been fulfilling her promise to be available, especially for the next generation of fashion designers. She has been mentoring for some students, as well as leading workshops with students from Detroit’s Duke Ellington School of Music & Art about using prints to make designs.

Reese is also involved in an initiative with the [https://isaic.org/ '''Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center'''], which is led by Jennifer Guarino. <ref> https://isaic.org/guarino </ref> As the member of ISAIC’s board of director, it is Reese’s intention to built a factory in Detroit which is totally worker-centric. The factory should have development opportunities for workers to acquire new technology such that employees are at the cutting edge of the industry's success. Reese is very opinionated about sustainability, as she feels that currently, the industry has been polluting the planet as well as exploiting the workforce.

==Hope for Flowers==

[[File:Reese0.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Tracy Reese with a dress from Hope for Flowers]]

Reese started a sustainable line, which she named [https://hopeforflowers.com/ '''Hope for Flowers'''], based in Detroit.

"''The reason it costs so much is because it is made responsibly and made to last.''"<ref>https://seenthemagazine.com/tracy-reese-returns-home-detroit-fashion-industry/</ref> However, Reese is committed to tackling the problem of making its collections more accessible while preserving sustainable production. She needs more Detroiters to wear her clothing on the riverfront.

As a major fashion industry player, Reese definitely has a huge roadmap for her own brand, as well as for Detroit. While she admits that a lot of works need to be done to unify Detroit as a city, Reese is hopeful that Detroiters get to be the beneficiaries of the kind of fashion industry which she is planning to develop.

Marni

Maltasteph:

[[File:Marni.png|thumb|right|300px|Marni logo]]

Marni is a luxury Italian fashion house founded by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994. It is known worldwide for its ready-to-wear collections and accessories for women, men and children. <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marni_(fashion_house) </ref>

==Controversial campaign==

In July 2020 Marni released a campaign named “Flip Flops, Precious Details and Jungle Mood SS20”, which ended up to be a concerning campaign. There are a few Black models in Marni's ad, caught with a lot of problematic comments, as the public takes a deeper dive at them. Soon after the campaigns are posted on Instagram, a fashion watchdog Instagram group, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_Prada Diet Prada], called out Marni directly for the troublesome statements in their photographs, involving ethnic items and some insensitive props usage.

[[File:Screen Shot 2020-12-21 at 10.26.46.png|thumb|250px|left|Marni being called out by Diet Prada on Instagram]]
For their spring/summer 2020 collection, Marni was attacked online for the demeaning and colonialist images used. <ref> https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/31/italian-fashion-brands-called-upon-to-tackle-racism </ref>

On the campaign, there are some images which depict the models wearing a series of ‘ethnic’ items including woven grass hats, chunky wooden Bayong necklaces, and piles of bangles – none of which, noted DP, form part of the Italian label’s latest collection. A black model is photographed elsewhere, with a large wooden tote bag with large chains near its feet, which looks a lot like shackles at a glance.

The fact that they also featured the statements “Jungle mood”, “Barefoot in the jungle”, and “Tribal amulet” to finish the whole campaign thing off, at first, seemingly intended to show the mere flip-flop campaign’s mood, but instead, it serves to reinforce arhaic racist and colonial stereotypes. .<ref> https://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/49959/1/marni-racist-stereotype-jungle-mood-flip-flop-summer-campaign-diet-prada </ref>

==Behind the campaign==

To everyone’s surprise, an Afro-Brazillian photographer, Edgar Azevedo was behind the lens of this campaign, which he collaborated with Giovanni Bianco, a Brazilian-Italian art director. Audiences were wondering, was something lost in translation? More elaboration on the partnership could have been offered by Marni, which could hypothetically minimize the critics that grew due to this campaign. But all in all, the damage has been done when Marni’s marketing team has decided to put up those words.

Black people have been deprived of their human right through this sort of insensitive campaign, which says a lot about the institution of white supremacy. After the huge backlash, Marni deleted all posts relating to the campaign and Marni’s creative director, Francesco Risso, posted an apology to his Instagram. He mentioned that their intended purpose was to capture the beauty of Azevedo’s (the photographer) community, but he admitted that Marni failed to adequately do so in a respectful and thoughtful way.

Did you wonder who fired the gun? (2017)

2021-02-21T19:11:09Z

Maltasteph:

"Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun? (2017)" begins as a documentary murder mystery, taking place in the small town of Alabama. It followed the journey of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Wilkerson Travis Wilkerson], a white filmmaker, who later found out about his family's racist history. In 1946, the great-grandfather of Wilkerson killed a black man. Decades later, Wilkerson travelled to Alabama to find out what happened.

==Plot==

[[File:MV5BNTc2ZTM1MTMtMjEwYy00NjJkLWEwZTItYWFlYzBhMzRkZTBlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjU4Njk1NjA@. V1 .jpg|thumb|200px|right|Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun? (2017)]]

This movie focused on the event in 1946, in Dothan, Ala., when a white shopkeeper, S.E. Branch, shot Bill Spann, a black man.

Branch, the ancestor of Wilkerson, was convicted of murder at first grade, but there has never been any prosecution following the conviction. The crime then becomes slowly vanished from people's memory. Or rather, it has been silently and continuously repressed in people's mind. There is just a brief story in the media with some pictures and the murderer's home movies.

The return of Mr Wilkerson to Alabama is to seek the truth behind the death of Bill Spann, and how it was forgotten. His study is characterized by the reminder that Spann's death is hardly special or extraordinary.

Wilkerson also featured Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and other new victims of racial abuse, including two songs of protest in the soundtrack; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_You_Talmbout "Hell You Talmbout"] from Janelle Monáe and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lewis_Moore "William Moore"] from Phil Ochs.

==Black Empowerment==

Wilkerson doesn't intend for his movie to solve anything, nonetheless, he offers commitment and honesty from a direct relative of a white supremacist. The movie is an antidote to false innocence that causes acts of racism to stay unpunished and even unrecognized.

"Did you wonder who fired the gun? " is at its sharpest and most important as Wilkerson interrogates his personal link to the past to investigate the violent nature of his own kin. It's difficult to hear Wilkerson ask if the very hands that carried him as a child may have been responsible for hate crimes. In the same way, it's sobering to consider how tough it would have been for him to uproot his family, particularly those who are still active in White Supremacist organizations—even in passing, the film does a great job of tracing how love and animosity can coexist among the same individuals. <ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/27/movies/did-you-wonder-who-fired-the-gun-review.html</ref>

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (2017)

2021-02-21T19:08:34Z

Maltasteph: /* Plot */

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is nonfiction, drama television film directed by George C. Wolfe, which starred Oprah Winfrey as Henrietta Lacks’ daughter, Deborah Lacks. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Immortal_Life_of_Henrietta_Lacks_(film)</ref> This movie takes time after the death of a black woman, named Henrietta Lacks, because of cervical cancer. Although she has to succumb to the disease which resulted in Henrietta’s death, it is later discovered that parts of her outlive her. Those tiny parts of her then change the course of cancer treatment.

==Plot==
[[File:Screen Shot 2020-12-21 at 02.08.33.png|thumb|300px|Henrietta Lacks - fictional character (left)]]
In 1951, Henrietta Lacks found a virulent form of cervical cancer in her body. At that time, the Head of Tissue Culture of Johns Hopkins Hospital is asked to collect the tissue culture of all cervical cancer patients, Lacks included. No human cells had ever survived long in a laboratory, but Lacks' cancer cells, which Gey labelled as HeLa, survived.

Since Gey gives samples of HeLa cells to every researcher at no expense, scientists are then able to carry out unparalleled disease and genetic studies in HeLa cell culture. This creation would then help geneticists identify distinct genetic markers in HeLa cells, which will help to identify the infected culture quickly. When the Lacks family were approached by a geneticist at Hopkins, they do not understand the purpose of the actions. Deborah thought they were given a cancer screening, given the history of her mother.

Due to the promising production of HeLa cells, the media spread the tale of the ''immortal'' cell culture, which leads to the news of the Lacks family. The Lacks family is appalled to hear that Henrietta's cells benefited other people. When this news is highlighted by the media as wide as the BBC documentary, a conman, Sir Lord Cofield, is attracted to the Lacks family. He exploited the family's court actions and took legal action against the Lacks family. Such an ordeal accumulates tension in Deborah Loses, where she received a stroke afterwards.

As a daughter, Deborah only wishes to learn more about her mother as a person, not just as an object of study. Knowing Deborah’s wishes, Rebecca Skloot who is an American science writer approaches the family. She promises to share the results of her research to the Lacks family, where Skloot writes about the journey of this discovery in a book with the same title. Deborah gets a chance to see the HeLa cells divide under a microscope in real-time and she wishes to learn more about science. However, in 2009, Deborah died, just as Skloot is about to make final touches on the book before publishing it.

==Controversy==

Amidst the great medical discovery that HeLa cells are able to unveil, Henrietta’s story plays as an example of scientific racism. In the 20th century, many physicians felt that using public ward patients as test subjects was an equal reward for the care they got. We may infer that black Americans such as Henrietta, have been highly influenced by the practice of taking cell culture without their permission or consent. <ref> https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/immortal-life/motifs/ </ref>

With the lack of consent from Henrietta, the Lacks family could have proceeded with a lawsuit. However, Skloot shares that the Lacks family couldn’t afford legal counsel at that time. It’s ironic, while the world has benefited from the HeLa cells, the Lacks family still can’t afford medical costs for their illnesses. This condition has been made worse by racialized poverty, where, unfortunately, the Lacks family have to live deeply in. The Lacks family deserve to receive sufficient incentives for those cells which were originated from Henrietta’s body, as they have led essential medical studies that impact a lot of people in the future.

According to Solome Lemma, co-founder of Africans in the Diaspora and Africa Responds on Ebola, not only did the original song establish stereotypes about Ethiopia, but it did so in a patronizing way. Band Aid has raised money, but it has left Ethiopia and the rest of Africa with a very negative legacy that has survived to this day.

This song is about famine in Ethiopia, but it's generalizing to all of Africa. It's snowing in Africa, though not a lot. Band Aid basically cast themselves as privileged white saviours before "white privilege" was really a thing.

What happens in one African country doesn't necessarily happen in all African countries. The lyrics of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" suggest that its authors didn't bother to fact check their work.

Fairy Soap (1897)

Maltasteph:

[[File:Fairy Soap Ad by NK Fairbank Company (1875).jpg|thumb|250px|right|Racist Fairy Soap Ad (1897)]]

Fairy Soap is a brand of soap owned by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N._K._Fairbank N.K. Fairbank Company], around 1897. Nathaniel Kellogg 'N.K.' Fairbank (1829–1903) was a Chicago industrialist whose business was N.K. Fairbank Co. developed soap as well as animal and baked goods in collaboration with the large meatpacking establishments in northern Illinois. <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N._K._Fairbank </ref>

Fairy Soap was originally created by N.K. Fairbank, before Procter & Gamble buys it.

==Controversy==

It was predicted that this Fairy Soap ad probably appeared sometime after 1897, since N.K. Fairbank Co. was founded in 1875. As a company, N.K. Fairbank Company was in business from 1875 to 1921.

This commercial is rather controversial, as it featured a white boy asking a black kid, "Why doesn't your mom wash you with Fairy soap?" <ref> https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/08/business/dove-ad-racist.html </ref> It was indirectly implied that the black boy was filthy, and the soap being sold had the ability to alter the colour of the child's face. This ad is linked to the latest racist ad by [https://blackwiki.org/index.php?title=Dove Dove].

In this commercial, Fairy soap portrays a black infant as disgusting and incapable of any good quality. This ad emphasizes the white colour of the skin recognized in that era.

By the expression, "Why doesn't your mom shower you with Fairy Soap? "This ad also criticizes the preference of a black mother for a child's grooming and cleaning products and praises the mother of a white baby.

Ferrero (2013)

2021-02-21T10:18:32Z

Maltasteph:

Ferrero S.p.A., more commonly known as Ferrero Group, is an Italian manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products and the second-largest chocolate and confectionery company in the world, founded in 1946. <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrero_SpA </ref>

'''Ferrero''' is well known for several of their brands, including Famous Amos, Kinder Bueno, Ferrero Rocher, Ferrero Küsschen, as well as Nutella.

== Controversy ==
[[File:Ferrero's Ad "Yes, Weiss Can!".png|thumb|300px|right|Ferrero's Commercial "Yes, Weiss Can!"]]

In 2013, Ferrero released an election style [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEWVRaY1uRM#t=13 ad] in Germany. This commercial was made to introduce the launch of the white chocolate from Ferrero Kusschen (little kisses), which was previously only available in certain seasons. This ad raised protests from a number of people, as Ferrero used the slogan "Germany votes white." <ref> https://www.fooddive.com/news/ferrero-pulls-controversial-chocolate-ads-over-racism-backlash/166995/ </ref>

This commercial was created by [https://mcsaatchi.com/ M&C Saatchi], a global, autonomous, fastest-growing firm. In the advert, Ferrero Küsschen, a box of white chocolate, offers a political address in a large hall filled with white lily and people. Depicting a political rally full of enthusiastic Germans, celebrating the values of whiteness, is problematic.

Tahir Della, Chairman of the Black German Initiative, points out that the fact that this commercial has made it as far as the airwaves shows how subtle racism can be in Germany. It's recognizable to the people who are affected, but most of them don't pick up too easily.” <ref> https://dangerousminds.net/comments/yes_white_can_creepy_racist_chocolate_commercial_causes_controversy </ref> Some people also noted how the slogan that is used in this ad “''Yes Weiss Can''” (“Yes White Can”), mimics the 2008 slogan of Barrack Obama, “Yes We Can”.<ref> https://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/ferrero-white-chocolate-ad-in-germany-sparks-accusations-of-racist-message-a-919504.html </ref>

In the end, Ferrero pulled out the commercial. In an email statement, Ferrero offered the following CYA blather: "It is important for us to make it clear that we are strictly against any form of xenophobia, right-extremism or racism. All of our assertions were purely about white chocolate—and without any xenophobic intent. We regret that the commercial has been misunderstood and that the product message has otherwise been interpreted."

A Tree Never Grown by Hip Hop For Respect (2000)

2021-02-05T08:15:42Z

Maltasteph: /* Protest on Police Brutality on Amadou Diallo */

'''''Hip Hop for Respect''''' was a 2000 effort that released an EP for Rawkus Records. It was arranged by Mos Def and Talib Kweli to speak out about police brutality in general and against the case of Amadou Diallo in particular.

Amadou Diallo was shot and killed by the New York City Police Department as he went to pick up his wallet and the police fired 41 shots at the unarmed man, so the subject of police brutality was prevalent. The project was planned to gather '''41 emcees to represent the 41 shots'''. <ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_Hop_for_Respect Hip Hop For Respect]. en.wikipedia.org. Retrieved on Feb 4, 2021. </ref>

==Key Lyrics==
[[File:A Tree Never Grown by Hip Hop For Respect (2000).jpg|300px|thumb|right|A Tree Never Grown by Hip Hop For Respect Cover]]
''“This is for Amadou Diallo''
''Rest in peace, you still here”''

''“Thinkin about brother Diallo''
''I find it hard to swallow''
''Cause 41 is a hard act to follow''
''Who is it, it can happen tomorrow''
''Goes down all the time in some African community''
''This one just hit closer to home''
''Cause it happened in our backyard''
''This that *shit* bring us closer to home”''

''“Cause nowadays, tips ain't the only things that's hollow''
''Constitution, 41 more holes in it''
''And cops swingin sticks like they tryin to win the pennant''
''And stickin sticks places where they ashamed to admit it” <ref> [https://genius.com/Hip-hop-for-respect-a-tree-never-grown-lyrics A Tree Never Grown]. genius.com. Retrieved on Feb 4, 2021. </ref>''

==Protest on Police Brutality on Amadou Diallo==

In February 1999, four plainclothes NYPD officers shot and killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed immigrant from Guinea, in the Bronx, mistaking his wallet for a rifle. Infamous, 41 bullets were fired at Diallo—that number became shorthand for police excesses. The shooting of Diallo and the eventual acquirement of all four officers attracted international criticism and prompted hundreds of artistic responses, including a project by the 41 rappers who constituted the Hip Hop For Respect project, Mos Def and Talib Kweli.

Their 2000 EP featured "''A Tree Never Grows''," the title of which was a mournful take on what was missing with Diallo's passing <ref> Wang, Olivia. [https://www.npr.org/2020/06/26/883334741/we-insist-a-century-of-black-music-against-state-violence We Insist: A Century Of Black Music Against State Violence]. June 26, 2020. npr.org. Retrieved on Feb 4, 2021. </ref>

Along with many New Yorkers, Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (then known as Mos Def), who performed together as a Black Star, were horrified by Diallo's death. A variety of protests occurred in the city in the weeks that followed, including a march across the Brooklyn Bridge led by Reverend Al Sharpton. Yet the rappers were searching for other ways to protest. Diallo's death finally acted as a spark for Hip Hop for Respect, a four-song EP co-ordinated by Kweli and Bey that tackled rage and paranoia bubbling in New York at the time. "''I was inspired by artists who, through music and beyond, were directly involved in actions that spoke to the needs of the community. I just thought that that’s what you’re supposed to be doing''" Kweli said.

In the midst of what seems like an endless procession of young black men dying at the hand of the police, Hip Hop for Respect’s message, unfortunately, still resonates today.<ref> Golianopoulos, Thomas.

Amadou Diallo was shot and killed by the New York City Police Department as he went to pick up his wallet and the police fired 41 shots at the unarmed man, so the subject of police brutality was prevalent. The project was planned to gather '''41 emcees to represent the 41 shots'''. <ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_Hop_for_Respect Hip Hop For Respect]. en.wikipedia.org.

== Protest on Police Brutality on Amadou Diallo ==

In February 1999, four plainclothes NYPD officers shot and killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed immigrant from Guinea, in the Bronx, mistaking his wallet for a rifle. Infamous, 41 bullets were fired at Diallo—that number became shorthand for police excesses. The shooting of Diallo and the eventual acquirement of all four officers attracted international criticism and prompted hundreds of artistic responses, including a project by the 41 rappers who constituted the Hip Hop For Respect project, Mos Def and Talib Kweli.

Their 2000 EP featured "''A Tree Never Grows''," the title of which was a mournful take on what was missing with Diallo's passing <ref> Wang, Olivia. [https://www.npr.org/2020/06/26/883334741/we-insist-a-century-of-black-music-against-state-violence We Insist: A Century Of Black Music Against State Violence]. June 26, 2020. npr.org. Retrieved on Feb 4, 2021. </ref>

Along with many New Yorkers, Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (then known as Mos Def), who performed together as a Black Star, were horrified by Diallo's death. A variety of protests occurred in the city in the weeks that followed, including a march across the Brooklyn Bridge led by Reverend Al Sharpton. Yet the rappers were searching for other ways to protest. Diallo's death finally acted as a spark for Hip Hop for Respect, a four-song EP co-ordinated by Kweli and Bey that tackled rage and paranoia bubbling in New York at the time. "''I was inspired by artists who, through music and beyond, were directly involved in actions that spoke to the needs of the community. I just thought that that’s what you’re supposed to be doing''" Kweli said.

In the midst of what seems like an endless procession of young black men dying at the hand of the police, Hip Hop for Respect’s message, unfortunately, still resonates today.<ref> Golianopoulos, Thomas..

The video end credits roll quietly down the screen, showing an overwhelming number of Black people killed by the police—including '''Tyree Bell, [https://blackwiki.org/index.php?title=Shooting_of_Breonna_Taylor Breonna Taylor], [https://blackwiki.org/index.php?title=Death_of_Sandra_Bland Sandra Bland] and others—with [https://blackwiki.org/index.php?title=Death_of_George_Floyd_(2020) George Floyd] reading the final paragraph.'''

"''Somebody asked, how do I feel about it''? ” Martin said in a statement. “''I told them hurt, fearless, angry, aware and fully ready to protect me, my family and my people at all cost.

Marlanna Evans (born January 21, 1983), best known as Rapsody, is an American rapper from Snow Hill, North Carolina. Her album Laila's Wisdom has won two Grammy Award nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song.

The philosophy of Rapsody is "Culture Over Everything," which refers to the culture of hip-hop music. She explains this term in an interview with Vibe Magazine, where she said, "To me, it’s about culture more so than money or anything. I make music for the people of the culture we’re in; that comes first. If you touch the people first, the rest just falls into place. That’s what it means to me, just preserving and respecting the culture."

==Key Lyrics==
[[File:Nina by Rapsody.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Rapsody's "Eve" Album Cover]]

''“I am Nina and Roberta, the one you love but ain't heard of''

''Got my middle finger up like Pac after attempted murder''

''Failed to kill me, it's still me, woke up singing Shirley Murdock''

''As we lay these edges down, brown women, we so perfect<ref>[https://genius.com/Rapsody-nina-lyrics Nina]. genius.com. Retrieved on Feb 4, 2021. </ref>''

==Black Women Empowerment==

With Eve's recently released third album, Rapsody has proved once again that she's a league ahead of anyone in her path. The North Carolina emcee wields a 16-track armored pen – equal parts of a black woman's appreciation, a black history lesson, a beat-driven witticism, and a literary swag. As she recently explained to NPR, "''I had a concept: I want to make an album and name every song after a black woman because I'm an extension of every black woman.''" <ref> Cakes, B.

As well as an album title that refers to the first woman in the Bible ('''Eve''<nowiki/>'), each track is named after a single inspiring black woman – Nina, Oprah, Aaliyah, and Michelle Obama among them. Rapsody uses these women's legacies as a springboard to '''tackle larger concepts of adversity, self-confidence, and achievement''', showcasing the same deft lyricism that made Kendrick Lamar one of her fans back before visiting his 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly. <ref> Cliff, Aimee.

Rapsody's immersive '''Nina''<nowiki/>' video channels Black culture on a haunting survival anthem. The song from Rapsody's latest album, ''Eve'', shows Nina Simone's classic Billie Holliday cover "Strange Fruit" as a soundtrack for Rapsody's inspiring bars and punishing punchlines. The video features North Carolina MC walking along the sunset beach in a flowing white dress and spitting bars at a photoshoot, juxtaposing pictures of her songs with literal, split-screen images.

Eve's unifying theme surrounds the praise of ''prominent Black women throughout history''', from ancient queens to modern-day supermodels and pioneering athletes, with contributions from The GZA, Leikeli47, Queen Latifa.<ref> Williams, Aaron.

Ultimately, "''Nina''" is a song about resistance in the face of turmoil, especially Black women - as expressed directly in the lyrics "''Failed to kill me, it's still me, woke up singing Shirley Murdock / As we lay these edges down, brown women, we so perfect''." <ref> Wang, Oliver.

With Eve's recently released third album, Rapsody has proved once again that she's a league ahead of anyone in her path. The North Carolina emcee wields a 16-track armored pen – equal parts of a black woman's appreciation, a black history lesson, a beat-driven witticism, and a literary swag. As she recently explained to NPR, "''I had a concept: I want to make an album and name every song after a black woman because I'm an extension of every black woman.''" <ref> Cakes, B.

As well as an album title that refers to the first woman in the Bible, each track is named after a single inspiring black woman – Nina, Oprah, Aaliyah, and Michelle Obama among them. Rapsody uses these women's legacies as a springboard to '''tackle larger concepts of adversity, self-confidence, and achievement''', showcasing the same deft lyricism that made Kendrick Lamar one of her fans back before visiting his 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly. <ref> Cliff, Aimee.

Rapsody's immersive 'Nina' video channels Black culture on a haunting survival anthem. The song from Rapsody's latest album, Eve, shows Nina Simone's classic Billie Holliday cover "Strange Fruit" as a soundtrack for Rapsody's inspiring bars and punishing punchlines. The video features North Carolina MC walking along the sunset beach in a flowing white dress and spitting bars at a photoshoot, juxtaposing pictures of her songs with literal, split-screen images.

Eve's unifying theme surrounds the praise of ''prominent Black women throughout history''', from ancient queens to modern-day supermodels and pioneering athletes, with contributions from The GZA, Leikeli47, Queen Latifa.<ref> Williams, Aaron.
