In Jennifer Mclunes article, "Hip Hop Betrayal Of Black Women," she defends women both in Powell’s presented article and in hip hop music in general. Mclune starts by degrading Powell and his article saying that his explanation was basically an excuse for sexism. Mclune also calls Powell out on the fact that he justifies what these so called "men" are saying in the hip hop industry. Just because they grew up in poverty doesn’t justify what they are doing to be right. It is no different that the women that have grown up in poverty and violence, but yet they aren't producing this music that the men are. Mclune speaks about how the degrading of women is what keeps hip hop thriving, and the sad thing about it is that if that was to stop that the fans would be disappointed and they would probably end up losing interest in there music if they took that out. Basically that girls and women that like this kind of music and keep encouraging it are setting themselves up to be victims. Mclune also talks about how these companies that sign with hip hop artist and people who continue to be fans and buying the music are really almost encouraging them to act out in this way. Mclune also speaks of a woman that is a hip-hop artist, Eve. Her appearance and her actions encourage men to act this way, and that women artist can be just like the males in an aspect. Mclune finds it astonishing that no one has gone to greater levels or even tried to do something about the way women are degraded in hip hop music. Although she speaks of women being treated with no self-respect and no self-worthy she continuously speaks of only black women. According to the video that was a resource to me, it made me believe that in way a Mclune was being unethical. I believe this because as the video also says, she is only presenting facts from one side and not both. This may not specifically apply to this
