JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE BLACK GIRLS AS DANCERS IN A MUSIC VIDEO FOR A WHITE ARTIST DOESN’T MEAN ITS RACIST

JUST BECAUSE SONGS ARE WRITTEN ABOUT STUFF RAPPERS WRITE ABOUT IN THEIR SONGS DOESN’T MEAN ITS RACIST

STOP CALLING ANY WHITE ARTIST WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE NON-WHITE DANCERS IN THEIR VIDEO,…

Is this in reference to the Lily Allen video (and others like it)? Because there is a lot of imagery in that video that depicts the dancers who are women of color in a way that portrays them as subservient and less-than the lead singer, a white woman; and whether that was intentional or not it still has the same outcome. The video promotes racism by portraying women of color as lesser-beings than a white woman. The back up dancers are objectified and used as props.
