Girls And Hip Hop: What Are You Teaching Your Kids? Featuring Shamika Sanders

Today on Let Your Voice Be Heard! Radio, we'll be talking to The Urban Daily's own celebrity reporter Shamika B. Sanders about how Nicki Minaj's image can be damaging to young girls.

As you may recall, 8-year-old British star Sophia Grace Brownlee took the world by storm when her cover of Minaj’s “Super Bass” went viral on the Internet earlier this month.

Her new found internet fame landed Brownlee on the "Ellen" show in which Minaj surprised Brownlee and her family, who flew in from England, to deliver her praise and a short performance.

However, in What Are You Teaching Your Kids? Little Girls Rap Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”, Shamika questions whether this is something that we should be praising and applauding as adults.

Tune into Let Your Voice Be Heard! Radio today at 5pm as well talk to Shamika and hear your reaction to the influence hip hop has on girls.

Watch the Sophia Brownlee's performance on Ellen after the jump.

Everyone's a little bit prejudice...okay

Everyone is a little bit prejudiced when it comes to other races. They just don't admit it. Being prejudice doesn't mean that you are racist; hell, you may not even be conscious of what you're doing.

But there are certain things that we just don't talk about. There are things that White people are afraid to say to Black people, and the other way around. It is hard to know where to draw the line between honest and offensive; between confusion and hate.

This country is operating under a false pretense right now. People are so conscientious of being politically correct and tolerant that they are hiding from the truth. Certain stereotypes and prejudices still exist. And until we can truly talk to each other openly about this, without fear of being judged, we are giving these stereotypes power.

We should not be afraid to talk to each other. Tonight I will be putting myself on the line. I will be revealing how prejudice rears its ugly head in my own life. I am not proud of this, but tonight is my chance to talk about these issues with my friends; and invite you all to chime in.

It is time for us to speak on our differences and dispel all the myths. We can't be rid of prejudice and hate if we continue pretending they don't exist.The segment starts at 6pm sharp tonight, so don't be afraid to call in and let YOUR VOICE be heard.
