On January 24, 2012 @kismetnunez, @fecundmellow, @sweat_btwn, @zero317, @AfroFuturAffair @divafeminist and others came together to discuss the idea of afrofuturism in Nicki Minaj's latest music video.

    Visually, I'm enthralled. It's got colors. It's got some Venus. It's got some Grace. It's got some Barbie.

    It's got some race-bending. It's got some anti-tragic mulata #redrecord reckoning.

    I can't help it. I approach moments like #StupidHoe as an afrofuturista. (#BlackGirlsAreFromtheFuture so sayeth @Mdotwrites)

    And even then, I tend to be post-apocalyptic and a touch dystopic.

    @sweat_btwn Think folks wanna see something futuristic that is also sexual. Like, can't we have orgasms in the future?
