Video: New Chester French Song, “Black Girls” WARNING: Super Salacious

 Blackberry I don't know about that.  As someone who's around a lot of lesbians, I can tell you, the stigma against WW/BW couples is EXTREMELY LOW, if there's any stigma at all.  Actually, my group of friends (because they're very Afrocentric) are basically the only Black lesbians I know who DON'T date WW.  In fact, the relationships tend to mirror straight BM/WW relationships in that the more masculine of the partners is usually the Black womban and the white womban is usually the more feminine (if they operate with labels).

And I just don't see anything positive about exploiting lesbian relationships for male fantasies.  THAT'S fetishizing and it doesn't help equality at all.

 Zindzi_Zenani Even though he's only half white, I wouldn't have mind seeing Jason Momoa.

You are a woman after my own heart. Jason is at the top of my yummy things list. @Tammy_Ghalden @Zindzi_Zenani

I don’t think Jason likes black women. I saw a vid on YouTube where he made a joke about fat black women. 

@yvonnelee @Tammy_Ghalden @Zindzi_Zenani

He's with a half black women, does that count?

 yvonnelee  LadyLittlefoot  Zindzi_Zenani I haven't seen or heard about that video, but I know he's married to Lisa Bonet.

I never assume men that like biracial women like black women. Some do some don’t.

Here’s the vid:

If the link doesn’t work type ‘Stargate Atlantis: Pranks on Set’ into YouTube.

@yvonnelee @Tammy_Ghalden @Zindzi_Zenani Actually he's talking about a porno mag found un the hotel called "Big black butts". I don't see this as an example of him disliking black women. As he was telling the story of the prank they pulled with the mag, I laughed out loud. All his comments are aimed at the salacious nature of the magazine.

 LadyLittlefoot  yvonnelee  Tammy_Ghalden  Zindzi_Zenani 

I’m aware he was referring to a porno mag. Does that makes it ok?

What’s funny about ‘big black butts’? It wasn’t solely about the salacious nature of the mag. He’s just perpetuating the dominant attitude of black women being big and undesirable. Would every have laughed if the joke was about ‘big white butts’? 

 yvonnelee I think they would have given the story he was telling. As I watched the video and did not hear "a joke about fat black women" I thought maybe I missed it so I watched it again and nothing. Maybe I just don't get it or maybe I'm desensitized. I'd love to know what others think of this video as well.Tammy_Ghalden Zindzi_Zenani 

 LadyLittlefoot I watched the video and thought the same thing where was the joke? I don't think it was an obvious jab at black women but I could definately see her point as well. What's so funny about big black butts? Maybe that the stereotype is that black women have big butts?

 Asia  LadyLittlefoot 

‘A joke about fat black women’ meaning a comic story about black women with big butts. White culture doesn’t have ‘thick’ so I thought black women with big butts were seen as fat women. Maybe I just don’t understand American humour.

 Matrix12 I read some where yesterday that one of them have a degree in American American studies at Harvard...so now they don't like black girls because they didn't put a white guy in the video? I do think the video was meant for shock but I don't know enough of their personal life to say what they like and what they don't like.  They could have easily made a song about something else.  How many times have we ever heard anything like this about black women from other races of people? I mean I can name a few with just black artist.  Brown sugar, brown skin, and that black girl song by maxwell but that's only 3 song.

 Matrix12 it doesn't I just stated that because that's what I read yesterday, but everything after the three dots is what's really reference to what you just said. 

@Matrix12 Oh matrix you've set my spidey senses tingling. The whole black girl with short hair makes her the "boy". That's a lot of projection and unnecessary emphasis placed on hair. I don't know what the true intent of using two women was really about.....but It's always worrisome when people imput hetero-gender rules onto gay an lesbian relationships. The whole "this is the guy and this is girl" mentality is accurate to same-sex relationship. That same mentality also does a disservice to heterosexual relationships. haircut and personal style has no bearing on relationship roles.

.....freaking iPad auto correct smart type.... The whole "this is the guy and this is the girl" mentality ISN'T accurate to same-sex relationships. That is a significant typo...it may change some of the kudos I previously got for the post.

 Blackberry  Matrix12  I too noticed how short her hair was.  I don't think it had anything to do with lesbianism, but to emphasis the contrast between her and the white model.  She had a very dark complexion with naturally afro hair while the white model was fair with long, straight, blonde hair and light eyes.  And of course the video itself was filmed in black and white.  There are no clothes, accessories, or jewelry to get in the way of seeing that naked black skin on white.      

 Matrix12 I wear short hair frequently (the last time I cut it was two years ago) and I'm certainly not masculine.  However, I totally get what you're saying here and I agree.  

Its irritating among me and my Black Afrocentric lesbian friends that people always seem to want to pair Black masculinity (regardless of the sex) with white femininity.  We see so many Black studs with white femmes, it ain't funny.  Its as if they're trying to mirror Black men in saying that white womben are more feminine than Black womben.

Remember that show, "The L Word?"  Well, when they finally introduced a Black lesbian character, she was butch and she dated a white femme.  It was very realistic and irksome for some of us in the GLBTQ community.

 Pearl  Matrix12 Everyone has their preferences and their rights to it.  But some things are perpetuated in the media and THAT'S what irks me.

 Matrix12 I honestly thought it seemed like they tried to make the white women the masculine of the two. She seemed to go after the black woman. The white woman seemed to me to be more of the aggressor.

 jamaica68 Its chester french, they do everything for shock value. Showing BW/WM would be the easier way out. I like it. 

Let's play spot the typo...

 LorMarie I agree...the video didn't do anything for me for the same reasons you listed...like the song though

 Blackberry You wouldn't see this on American television.  MTV and VH1 basically don't play videos anymore (maybe a one-hour segment at 4am on weeknights).  Artists have a lot more freedom on Youtube, knowing those videos will probably never be on TV. 

 eugeniamitchell I guess there people who are unfamiliar with the fact that lesbians exist and not necessarily for the sake of straight male fantasies? I'm sure there there are BW/WW couples who would approve of this video. I don't think it's necessary to shade them because people crave BW/WM visuals.

 Toni_M I've had many male friends tell me they really liked seeing two girls making out, but somehow it never appealed to me.  The lesbianism doesn't bother me, but I guess I'm too vanilla to thinks its a male turn on.

 Tammy_Ghalden lol

last comment---promise--  :) why couldnt they sing \the song and  the lyrics to 'gotta thing for Keisha" and have her playing a sapphire blue electric guitar? and have the song describe her choco brown skin sisterlocks how i want her to be my kids mama etc. ( theyd freak!)

 Tammy_Ghalden why are you bothered by this tammy???

 kiki100 The song sucked and the video wasn't aesthetically pleasing. 

Sorry about the typos, I had to delete my other comment. ^^' Wish we could edit. :S

 Toni_M 

Nice conclusion.

They could have spared me with they irony if that was their intent. No offense to the hipsters out their but many of them can be annoying.
