Willow Smith Video

I think the point of this video is that it doesn't matter what type of hair you have just do you. I don't think there should be any changes made to the video. I think it's a positive video for young African American girls because the video is basically sending the message that no matter what type of hair you have just "whip your hair back and forth." I think it took Sesame Street to come out with a positive video because most songs are talking about sex, drugs, money and things that society wants you to like based on the images they have for young women now a days. Some positive television shows are "My Wife And Kids", "Little Bill", and "That's So Raven". I don't think this video would have recieved the same response if it showed a different race because if it was a lighter version they would have said something like "She's trying to be black", but can they tell me how do you act black?? I think the remix version of Willow Smith's song made by Sesame Street made it better and well known because it pointed out that Willow Smith's song is just talking about whipping her hair back and forth. Overall any type of hair and basically saying you shouldn't be ashamed of "what your moma gave you."

WILLOW SMITH & SEASAME STREET WHIP MY HAIR VS. ILOVE MY HAIR

i think the point of the video was to show the young ladies of african american descent or that have nappy or course hair that they should love their hair .no i just think that willows video was kinda spicy for her age .i feel like it has taken seasame street so long to come out with something like this because raciscm in america is not dead . If you think are there any positive black shows for kids ?>no they cancelled them all .i believe that seasame street pointed out the fact that its fine to have any type of hair no matter how you were it whip it... do you

I would ban the Kanye West albumn cover because the picture is to inapproriate. I believe for music artists their welcome to do make anytype of music they want to make but for albumn covers they should be more respectful for others eyes. I believe that freedom of speech is your choice to say want you feel. Its worth banning by the picture put on the cover with the devil & angel having sexual relations, which I honestly think is disrespectful!!!. No and Yes because I dont care too much about Kanye West but some of his music is good. Yes, because Kanye West worships the devil. No, I wouldnt support it because its disrespectful,inappropriate and I dont care to listen to his music that much.

Kanye West Album "My Darkest Fantasy"

I saw Kanye West's album cover last week and word is that it might get banned. I agreed that it should until i was asked what are my beliefs about Freedom of Speech. Then i thought about it.. I think that the image on the front cover is worth banning because it's disrespectful to some religons and could be offensive to many. I know it's one's freedom of speech BUT there are other ways to express it. The image sends the wrong message to our young ones and i feel that sometimes it's BEST to keep Freedom Speech to yourself if it's none positive coming from it. I mean from the system to the people, our communities the world itself has grown so angery last thing we need is to have our kids grow hate in there mind, body , and soul's.MOst important in there HEART. Im not sayin that Kanye West is a bad person but we do have our young one's lookin up to these celeberties and i wouldnt want to walk in the Virgin Store and have my nieces and nephew see or even ask me what the image means. I support Kanye and what he does BUT i DONT support the cover on his new album and i dont respect it but who am i to silence his voice on his own Freedom of speech.. Personally i dont mind if it gets banned or not because it wont cyhange much for me. - e'sha

KANYE WEST ALBUM COVER

I would ban the Kanye West album cover because the album cover is a bit too explicit. my thoughts about freedom is that everybody should have the right to say what they want.the fact that it should be banned because this album cover has a devil & angel were all on each other.. It doesnt matter who album cover it is, its still wrong i would buy the album just cause the artist makes good music.the title goes with the album cover because kanye west worships the devil & is a negative person. no , i would support the album its just wrong to have that type of picture.

Willow Smith "Whip My Hair"

This is a youtube video of 9 year old Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" footage that was combined with a sesame street skit entitled "I Love My Hair". I think the point of this video was to show young african american girls to appreciate and love their hair.I dont know why it took sesame street so long to come out with an educational video that focused on young minorities,since sesame street has been on air for many decades.I think its a good video for kids to watch for they could learn to understand the beauty of their hair.

Willow Smith vs. SESAME STREET

I think the point of the video is for kids to show that its okay to have any type of hair and be proud of it. I do believe that this is a positive and good inspriation for african american young girls who are self conscious about the course of their hair. It took so long for a video like this to appear on Sesame Street because the world is becoming different and they're just noticing good positivity in african american girls. If this was show cased in a diffrent race it wouldn't get as much attention if the girl was white.I think Willow Smith made it better if she did not remix it and combine it with sesame street nobody wouldn't have got what Willow was saying.. p.g.,18

kanye west album cover

Kanye West Album Cover

So basically there was this issuse dealing with Kanye West's new album cover, and whether or not the U.S.A should ban it or not. Me personally, I wouldn't ban it because it's his way of expressing his self. My belief about freedom of speech is that I think everybody has the right to it. Nobody should be discriminated against just becuase not everybody agrees with it, that's not fair. No one's speech should be banned that I can think of, everybody should have tha right to speak their own mind and thoughts. What I think makes this image worth banning though is the inappropiate-ness. Even thought it's freedom of speech, there's a certain tolerance of appropiate that you have to consider. When I found out that it was Kanye West's album cover, it didnt change my perpective on him as an artist becuase I love Kayne's work, and best believe that I will be buying his album when it comes out on November 22nd. I can't be the judge to whether or not the title goes with the picture, it's his album and he names it whatever he pleases. Even though it's Kanye West's album cover, if I'd seen it without knowing who's album it was I probaly wouldn't support it.
