No Roboho

Jasmyne Cannick, a columnist over at eurweb.com is not pleased with TMZ.com's description of Beyoncé's performance outfit and E-V-E's red carpet ensemble at the 2007 BET Awards on Tuesday night.

Here is what TMZ posted on their site:

"…From Beyonce's roboho performance getup to Eve's streetwalker chic, check out why it's time these artists hired new stylists and put the hip back into hip-hop!..."

She compared the description of the two artists to the Don Imus "nappy headed hos" situation.

Cannick says, "Beyonce was an African-American woman which to me makes the description worse because it seems that these days it’s us Black women who are always being called hos.."

Funny, I thought she was CREOLE! Sorry, I had to do it. (ChubbyBlackBlogger)

Cannick went on to say, "... obviously Beyonce doesn’t need anyone to defend her and that’s really not what I am doing. I am more interested in defending the way that Black women and in fact all women are depicted by the media when it’s negative."

I never thought TMZ cared too much about reporting on Black people and when they do it is usually negative. But, I mean, it's all about how you look at it I guess because most Black blogs only report on Black people. BUT that's because we don't get shine on the "mainstream" blogs. Blah. I don't know. What do you think?
