Black Female Love Interests in Country Music Videos....or lack thereof

When you look at country music videos, you might see a Black woman but she's usually an extra in the background. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm not concerned about just the overall presence of Black people in country music videos, because you do see that. (Blake Shelton's "Boys 'Round Here" and Toby Keith's "I Wanna Talk About Me" ) But you never see the Black woman being the love interest, she's usually one of the background people or the friend of the love interest.

They can see that they are not the only ones in here, so decent home-training should tell them to have some respect!!

Salmon: When it comes to foods that pack a beauty punch, it's hard to beat salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality protein source is also filled with vitamin B-12 and iron. "Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health," says Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, a dietitian in Los Angeles and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "A deficiency can result in a dry scalp and thus hair, giving it a dull look." Vegetarian? Include one or two tablespoons of ground flaxseed in your daily diet for some plant-based omega-3 fats. 2. Dark Green Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard, are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, which your body needs to produce sebum. The oily substance, secreted by your hair f
