THE INTERSECTION | MADNESS & REALITY: Erykah Badu's New Video

Erykah Badu's latest video seems to garner a lot of controversy. The issue is that she get out of a car reminicient of the limo JFK was riding in when he was killed, walks down a street during the video and as she sings her song she strips down to nothing and then is shot from a nearby building and then seemingly resurrected with her hair completely different. I'm not really sure how offensive the nudity is because all her body parts that would get you arrested were blurred out.

Check it out:





Here is what the astute blogger had to say about the video:

You know what? I totally get this video, and I think it's awesome! Oh how my people continue to die mentally as they continue to miss the message. Which when you think about it, actually speaks volumes to, and about, the very theme of the video. Here's a video which artistically captures the historical character assassination of the black woman; using Dallas TX., as the setting, circa the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But yet, Neo-Negroes are grumbling and continue to be perpetually enslaved mentally all because of....

Group-think?

I agree with the blogger's interpretation of what the video means. It is artistic and only sexual if you are sexually excited by a naked woman....duh. The surreal thing and the thing that really makes me think that the blogger has a point is the way people are just passing by her and seemingly not to notice her as she strips. I don't really have a problem with the video's message but the execution was certainly meant to be controversial. Of course in a few years (maybe months) they'll air it unedited!
