Are Hoes Really Winning?

Hoes stay winning lately. It seems that they are getting endorsement deals, their faces are plastered all over television, and they are even picking up the most eligible bachelors in the process. It seems as though the ass shakers and semen buckets have taken over the world. This is what the media wants young girls to believe, that the raunchier you are the more desirable you become, but we are here to tell you to please don't fall for the hype.

To be clear, considering a woman a  hoe is subjective to one's own moral codes, but universally this does not equate to be just being sexually active but more specifically how many partners one has entertained and how many at a given point in time. The phrase hoe can be hurtful but let us be honest by acknowledging that there are plenty who embrace it. These are usually the ones who believe that Basketball Wives or Bad Girls Club are representative of real women and think that 2 Chainz's lyrics are a legitimate source for what kind of woman a man really wants for his significant other. Double standards do exist in the 21st century as far as women are portrayed and we are still held to standards that our male counterparts are not subjected to.

Culturally our young ones are being set up for failure when they are offered simple images that are representative of a minimal portion of society. This goes for males also who rarely see hard working, blue collar men that actually take pride in going to work everyday and who could care less about wristwatches or fast cars. Our boys are being misled to worship materialism and earning a quick buck over having pride for oneself. For decades black males have suffered due to many factors including lack of opportunities, distribution of resources, lack of education but to me the most severe setback takes place mentally when we as a community do not advocate for self worth or self respect.

The belief that hoes be winning is a false conception and in the great words of Public Enemy, "Don't believe the hype!"
