Amber Rose's Slut Walk

Blac Chyna and Amber Rose 

Amber Rose former stripper and ex-wife of Rapper Wiz Khalifa, staged a "Slut Walk" in LA on Saturday. The concept of the walk is to spread the message that women should not be sexually assaulted because of the way that they dress.  It all began when a police officer told the media that "Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized." After this statement women from Toronto got together and took their outrage to the streets. They dressed in provocative clothing to spread the message that women should not be judged by the way that they are dressed. In this walk women dress with very little clothing and hold up signs that talk about women empowerment.

Before the walk Amber released a video called "The Walk of No Shame" to promote the slut walk. The video features Amber walking out in the streets and people applauding her for having a one night stand. The video also shows children encouraging this type of behavior, one of the kids asks his mom "Mom did that woman get f***** last night." Which I found extremely outrageous. There was also a man in the video who tells Amber "Your an inspiration to my daughter." This was another part of the video that filled me with confusion. I understand the concept of women being empowered and promoting that women should not be victimized because of the way that they dress, however I feel like this video went completely left and distorted the real message that should be getting across.

Amber gets Key to the City for having a one night stand. 

            Promoting one night stands and including children in the video is not what we need right now. Teens need to be educated about protecting themselves from sexually transmitted diseases that can be passed down if you are not careful. I understand the concept of the slut walk, but do not agree with the fact that Amber is promoting girls to have one night stands. In hip hop we tend to promote this type of behavior all of the time, encouraging violence and sex to teens that are growing up and are ignorant to consequences. We have to stop condoning this type of behavior and start encouraging positive things to our youth.
