@ SSSS..the reason people ask is
1. BECAUSE IN 90 % OF USHER'S VIDEOS, as well as those of other black male singers/ rappers of late E VERY DAMN FEMALE LEAD IS mulatto, a mexican, a white girl, some sort of unidentifiable cross breed, an Asian or someone who is OBVIOUSLY not black enough that we know what the hell she is.. AND YES IT MATTERS GOD DAMMIT!

Usher is BLACK, his mama is BLACK.. his ex wife BLACK.. and black women are most under-represented in the media and represented in the WORST way in the White Supremacist (Racist) system.. therefore we don't want to watch video after video where the men we give birth to paint a world that eliminates us from the picture where love and beauty is concerned.

2. In the UNITED STATES, where Usher's primary market is , MOST OF US ARE NOT FROM THE HORN OF AFRICA... therefore, we do not always recognize what Somali women look like, though Iman is more identifiable as a black woman.. I was thinking the woman was Eritrean or maybe Ethiopian, but with Usher's track record of using mulatto, Mexican whatever the hell kind of females as his leads, I HAD TO WONDER MYSELF.

now that we KNOW she is African we are happy IN THIS CASE.. but my goodness, it would be nice to see the type of female ( CONSISTENTLY) featured in his videos, whos ethnicity we DON''T have to scratch our heads about... we don't have to wonder what USHER'S ethnicity is do we?

I never have to wonder what ethnicity the women in Musiq's videos are. Black women are featured and adored in ALL of his videos.
