MUSIC VIDEO: MARIO - “THINKIN’ ABOUT YOU“
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Mario releases his new video for his second single, “Thinkin’ About You.” The track comes from his latest album, D.N.A., which just hit stores Tuesday.
The clip was directed by Chris Robinson and once again feature Richgirl’s Audra. It’s pretty interesting, considering that it picks up right where the “Break Up” video leaves off.

I like Mario but this video storyline has been done soooooo many times, its the same, tired, overwork typical “young singer” R&B video. $400,000+ vehicle - check, romantic location or mansion - check , Brazilian chick - check, expensive jewelry and champagne - check.
YAWN so over this whole “template formula”. I see why there is hardly any videos being played on television anymore. I waiting for reality tv to meet the same death.

Songs not that bad either .. not to sure if I’d put it on my iPod.

Hassandagreat, I agree with you. People need to get over the fact that a hispanic women is the lead in this video. There is room for all of us. As a monority we should be celebrating the fact that another minority was chosed to be the leading lady in the young mans video.

BLACK WOMEN INTIMIDATE BLACK MEN!
Thursday, October 15, 2009 /
All I can say is that the Black woman must really intimidate the average black man out there, thus all of them running to the European woman (non threatening).
What a lotta black women have to realise is that- alot of black males out there, hold very low self-esteems from a young age that are given to them by -ahem- the ‘white male’. They then transcend to pass on this inferior complex to the black female by continuing to tell her that she does not measure up to the beauty standards (European) and this becomes a vicious cycle, where black men and women are doggin each other out to score brownie points (usually using a white person to do this).
The truth is white people have made black people feel bad about who they are. Over 500 years of slavery and the negative impacts of it are still apparant in our race if not even stronger then they were back when it all started. Black people will forever have to live with the backlash of slavery and pay the Karma for the pain and humiliaton there ancestors endured.
I think the most sad thing about it all, is that the black man in particular, is in actual fact his own worst enemy, because he is a ’slave’ within his mindset. They continue to act in a way that the white male expects them to act, so the white male can continue is world domination and influence on the world.
How are you expected to love another, when you dont love yourself?
Black men ask yourselfs this honestly.
You are always quick to call black women out on their faults, but you dont realise that you as contribute to them. In order for us to move ahead and progress as a race, we will have to learn one another and become tolerant.
There were most probably loads of pretty black women that Mario could have featured in his video, but refused to, because having a black woman in your video is like ‘preventing’ you from mingling in with mainstream society (white world).
Black men are in desperate need to get away from what they are, a white woman or non black woman will always help them do this.

i thought black women didn’t want to be in videos of rappers and r&b singers , remember hip hop vs america when yall said it makes black women look like video hos. Now yall complaining that they don’t put black women in videos yall are confused. Go back and look at the videos from 90’s to now there are alot of non black females in those videos right beside black women yet the only ones who are complaining are black . You black women wanted to be out of the videos (cause yall said it made all black women look like hos , NOW YALL GOT YOUR WISH.

@28 Since when did having a non-black woman in a video represent self esteem issues of black men? Why would a black man date outside of his race if he has these so called self esteem issues with white men?
Baby you’ve just been around the wrong black men. If any man has ever told you that you don’t measure up to another race, I am here to tell you that …
-YOUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL, YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.-
From what I know, I am a black man who loves black women, but I will not say ‘NO’ to dating outside of my race. Simply because race doesn’t become an issue when you have a connection with someone.
As far as this video is concerned, do you really need to see a black women in a video to show that black love still exists? What I don’t get is why women are so upset by these athletes and rappers having another race on their arm, when the majority of them DON’T! It becomes a hot topic because it is somehow out of the norm. This is damn near 2010, people are dating who they want and I don’t see the problem. Stay less concerned bout black men and more concerned about the ‘RIGHT BLACK MAN’, if that is what you are looking for?

@ BLACK WOMEN….MEN
That was deep, and so true.
@ The Most
It was the chauvinistic manner is which black women were featured in those videos…strippers, scantily clad with liquor being poured down them, slapping and swiping credit cards down their asses. They were doing THE MOST treating women like animals which taught younger males who idolized those rappers that it was ok and in fact cool to treat a female like that. And now that black women have been replaced by the various nationalities they aren’t displayed in videos the way black women once were. I think that acutally falls in like with what BLACK WOMEN INT…MEN was saying, that played a part in the potrayal of black women hence degrading her self esteem and self worth even more. Makes ya think.

BLACK WOMEN INTIMIDATE BLACK MEN!

@ Themost
Please dont fill our pages with lies, to make yourself appear like the nice guy!
The truth is black men dont want black women in their videos because they have been conditioned to feel ‘ashamed’ of them by the western world. They are unable to comprehend that their low self-esteem makes other races rise in the process. The term is called ‘rule and divide’, please get familiar with it.
Mario is looking for commercial success, he associates the European woman as ‘material’ gain, the woman that is going to bring the money in. He feels that if he puts a black woman in his videos, his album will overall fail. Black men think black women hold them back.
Black men have helped the world view the black women as trash- with the way they treat us.
Every race views the black woman as scum, because they see how hostile the black man is towards the black woman. Why would they want the black mans ’so called’ rubbish, when he is running to their women like there aint no tommorow! All this is about brain conditioning, what as been taught to you and what you now think is the right way to go about things.
If black men began to show the world that they truely did love black women and flaunted them geniunely and with pride, you would see how the rest of the world would want their Jewel.

For the black men making comments….. No one is saying that having another minority in the video is wrong we are saying where is the diversity in the videos now a days? It seems black women have become beneath the actors and rappers and singers in mainstream society and you can do better. I am truly dissapointment with my race as of recently and we MUST do better. I believe we are the only race with racism within our own community. It is sad and i am disgusted. We MUST do better..

When Black women stop supporting these artist that portray us as not wifey material….then they will listen. Money has power and so does the written word.
If an artist continually shows Black women as side pieces why do you attend their concerts? You don’t get respect because you don’t demand it!
Black women are marrying in low numbers….but we are still laying down and supporting these horrible men and artist.
I don’t think we intimidate Black men….I think some Black men feel we aren’t worthy….

I am a black mexican,yes ! mexicans can be black, They brought slaves to mexico over 500 years ago. The first president of Mexico was black.Also,90 % of all Puerto Ricans have black blood.Cuba and the Dominican Republic are black countries, black hispanics that were born to the black slaves that were brought there,outnumber everyone else on those islands. In Latin America there are over 200 million black hispanics,in otherwords blacks and hispanics are related,they are not two different races. Don`t let the white media brainwash you with the lie that blacks and hispanics are two different races.

#59 I can understand your frustration and point but the arguments that are being raised has nothing to do with Spanish or any other woman of color and especially black Mexicans because well if fact you are a black Mexican female. The issue is raised with black men not believing black women are worthy of worship in videos or mainstream media. Beauty comes in all sizes and color and that in fact is not being shown. Nothing against the beautiful women in these videos, the issue is with our black men and the discrimination they have against black women.

Shit, she`s blacker than me,I can`t even get my hair in a afro,because it`s naturaly curvy and wavy. And in the city that I live in, they have a lot of hispanics and you see them w alking around with that black hair and they will have it braided up or in a afro.. Hispanics have a lot of black blood in them.

*and oh yeah, people, Trey Songz still uses Dark women in his videos all the time. but im guessing because maybe he just likes dark skinned girls, why are these singers/rappers faulted for their attraction to lighter women? i find darkskin women not so attractive, and if i were to make a video more than likely, i’d want my leading lady to be a chick i think is hot. the race thing is out of hand these days, and i do find that black people keep the race down by holding on to their own stereotypes and being so negative. nothing wrong with diversity
