Though it is alarming that shows like the ones aforementioned are used to represent the black community rather than shows that show a more sophisticated, educated bunch like ‘Sorority Sisters’, it must be the consensus of the black community to keep money in these types of people’s pockets.
This is obvious because there was a consensus from the black community to call, boycott and harrass advertisers that were linked to that ‘Sorority Sisters’ show and black America essentially forced them off the airwaves in preference to hood people with loose morals and zero communication skills.
This is also the reality of ghetto black America. In the streets there’s a sense of respect for those who go against the law, who are blatantly ignorant and ready to ‘go to jail’ at a moment’s notice in lieu of those who wish to assimilate into a sophisticated society.
Squares, as they are called in the hood, receive little appreciation for having common sense and integrity.
Some would say that reality TV has shown black America in a bad light.
The reality, however, is that’s exactly how black America likes it. The fact is, black America would rather be seen in a bad light than an enlightening light. The proof’s in black America‘s actions and the way they carry themselves on and off screen.
Needless to say, I’ll be tuning in to all of the black reality shows this season, as that’s as close as I can come to my people without feeling like a square going through a round hole.
Happy viewing!
