Beyonce

I really enjoyed the presentation!! I don't necessarily think that Beyonce is furthering the stereotype of African American bodies. I think she's just playing up her more "marketable assets". Although, if she was, should she really be at fault? I mean well before Beyonce it was considered to be a more desirable trait of African/African American women to have more of a "butt" (at this point might I add that I'm not trying to offend anyone!) It's furthered by all the rappers who put scantily clad girls bum shaking on the screen and by the culture. A lot of rappers further that "big butt" stereotype. They're always rapping about big butts and how that's what they want. So, if Beyonce is furthering the stereotype, I don't think it's her fault. Merely the product of a culture.
