Foolish Friday: Female Empowerment?
New rapper Chapter, has released a video titled "It's Free (Swipe Yo EBT)," that is starting to get lots of attention for it's negative portrayal of black women who get government assistance for food.
The video shows pregnant women with kids in tow hitting up various spots that accept EBT cards. Places like the liquor store and fast food joints while Chapter raps; "all you gotta do is f*ck/and 9 months later you will be getting the big bucks."
The video is both shocking and offensive, which is probably it's intention.
Chapter says her music is "satire" and is intended to help, not offend people.
lol, stop.
"My mission is empowerment to all. I speak the truth from the heart," she wrote in her youtube channel. "If my message in my music offends you in any way that is not my intention. I say it all with love."
Consider the message heard, but maybe not well received by all.
