Three young girls write Lil Wayne a letter: Enough with the degradation
These girls are my heroes. (Actually, their parents are, too) This is what strong, loving girls do, they stand up for what they believe is an injustice. I'm willing to bet you may be hearing a lot more about this groundbreaking video. -- I hope we do. We raised our girls on Sesame Street, Blues Clues, Little Bill, Reading Rainbow, Noggin and PBS. We read to them Little Bear and Dr. Seuss and hundreds of other books all confirming the message that each and every child is created equal and deserves equal love. But, then they get a little bit older - and that radio goes on. And they sure hear otherwise. These three girls are my rockstars. Here's what their own statement says: "Letter to Lil Wayne" is a direct statement of justice from Watoto From The Nile. Growing tired and fed up with the constant degredation of Black women inside of Hip Hop music, they voice thier views and opinions on this melodic track.
