Source Busted For Gender Discrimination
The Source Magazine is coughing up nearly 15 million dollars for gender discrimination after firing their former editor in chief who accused them of harassment.
Unfortunately for Dave Mays and "Benzino," owners of the magazine, life isn't a 24/7 rap video where women walk around with thongs hanging out begging to bump and grind any man with a fat wallet.
It's never good to see women treated as inferiors, but it's all too common in the world of hip-hop. The best case scenario in a messy situation like this one is that the world of hip-hop will take heed and take the leap into the year 2006 (where the rest of us are waiting) .
The worst case scenario is that women will lose more respect in hip-hop culture and misogyny will hang on to its iron fisted rule.
It's time to grow up and treat these intelligent women, in this case the woman responsible for the best selling edition of the Source ever, like people and not playthings.

Bravo, Andrew!
For passing this information along and for your insight as a great human! Wish more of our ladies and gentlemen had such candor and deliverance of opinion on such matters. Mutual respect is a two way street.
