Throughout society today we can see examples of "others" controlling black bodies. One of the most prominent examples in which this concept can be seen is through the music industry. In a prototypical musical video we see black women exposing their bodies to draw in attention from the viewers. The way their bodies are being exposed for everyone to see can be compared to how Europeans exposed Sarah Baartman. The only difference between the two is that while black women are exposing their exotic features, they are still being forced to portray the typical European look. While their hips, buttocks, lips, and breasts enlighten the beautiful features of a black woman, they have their hair straightened and make-up to make their skin look lighter like the atypical European white woman.
