The SGA suggested a forum centering on sexism in music, etc. However, the company backed out. Do I think the "principle" won over the cause? No. I attended Spelman. I know that community service is paramount. So, they WILL find a way to raise awareness, as well as, hold this drive.
I applaud my Spelman sistas for taking the unpopular stance. I would have found it deplorable if the premier institution for Black women in America (excuse the school pride here for a sec) just let him come to campus without addressing his hypocrisy. How can you proclaim your love for one woman, while you disrespect all others.

Just to play devil's advocate for a minute...why turn down Nelly's bone marrow drive if it's the music that you have a problem with? And I bet he didn't have to beg any of those strippers to do what they did in the video. They are probably proud of their performances and would do it again in a heartbeat. True, it is not a good image to have of any woman, but if he is trying to redeem himself through a good cause, why knock him for it? Maybe he's just doing what he knows will make money so that he can draw attention to better causes like bone marrow. If those strippers weren't dancing for him, they'd be dancing for someone else. He just gave them an additional venue.
