Topic: Shawty Got Low

It never ceases to amaze me!  It seems like the more time passes, the lower our Beautiful Black Princesses go.  It's like that song where the guy talks about how "Shawty got low".  In the song, they are of course referring to a girls ability to dance nasty but in my opinion, when "Shawty's get low" they're doin' a whole lot more than "getting low" to the ground.  I mean, how "low" does your self esteem have to be to shake and gyrate half naked in front of a group of fully dressed men? 

I went to the library the other day and to my horror, a group of young men were gathered around a computer watching a group of little girls (they couldn't have been more than 14), "Twirkin'" for the camera on YouTube.  I wonder if these little girls understand the implications of "gettin' low" on the world wide web - I was devastated.

So I wanted to send a message to all my little sisters out there.  Please stop "gettin' low".  How are we as women ever going to rise above all of the degrading and disrespectful rhetoric if we keep on sinking to new lows?  Have you ever listened to the words of some of these songs?  If women and girls would take a stand and decide that we are going to take the high road maybe we can set some of these disrespectful brothers record sales to an all time "low".  Just my opinion.
