Sir Mix-A-Lot - I like big butts vs. Freakum dress and Barrtman.(5)


Now this is what I beleive to be most problematic to Sahrah Barrtmans life and legacy. Its very much so comparing black womans bodies to white womans. And I think this has alot to do with Barrtman past. Now this song is clearly saying one body type is better then another. Or is it tryin to make black woman confident with thier bodies? How would Sarah Barrtman feel about this music video? (Notice the Josephine baker reference/banana skirt dancer in this video also)

    Thank you for posting this video, Tibrisha. It definitely draws comparison to Baartman and is also interesting to consider in light of Beyonce's "Freakum Dress."
