THE song "She's Royal" should have never been sung at the second anniversary celebration of the People's Partnership, because it is an insult to women of African descent.
This according to author and activist Pearl Eintou Springer, one of the vice chairpersons of the Emancipation Support Committee.
Springer said the song by Jamaican-American artiste Tarrus Riley was the only positive dancehall song for women, and should have never been sung for Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
The song was performed by Michael Osuana "Sugar Aloes" who has been criticised by some for a surprise performance at the event held at Mid Centre Mall in Chaguanas on Thursday.
The song has been played and sung for the Prime Minister at other events she attended in the past.
However, speaking with reporters after the sod-turning ceremony for a Sankofa Heritage Monument at the roundabout at Pointe-a-Pierre yesterday, Springer said, "We know the disrespect the African women take from the dancehall artistes. All of them give to our young black women the blatant sex and nastiness. We have this one song "She's Royal" for black women that I use all the time when I work with young black people. Suddenly, it is taken out of the context and taken into a political situation."
Springer said, "Our black women need a lot of support. They need a lot of encouragement to find their true selves, so that they can be mothers, be sisters, be daughters. This one iconic song written for them that can be used, I was stunned to see it used in the political (arena)."
She said Sugar Aloes, if he wanted, could have sung any other song at the event.
Springer said she was also disappointed that last year, there were no celebrations to commemorate African Liberation Day and that someone teaching a religious course in a tertiary institution was giving out wrong information about African characters and religious personalities. See Page 20
