Great post. I had to stop watching Bad girls club. One day I turned the tv on and said what do you want to watch (to my 3 year old) she says bad gurl club. I say why you want to watch that she said cuz them girls fight and cuss. I was done. TV parental controls came on the next day. I refuse to have any of these reality beitches be a role model to mine. I pray for her everyday and for myself to be the best example that I can be for her. Cuz she will never be about that life!

I really believe that once we stop blaming everything on the outside for how our kids behave and how we "appear" then we can fix what's going on in our own home. i'm not about to let tv raise my kid lol

I agree to a certain extent. there are a lot of us (i dont) who watch for pure entertainment value. But the majoirty of society are followers and are influenced by what they see on tv. thats the problem. for ex: since basketballs wives hase been on, ive heard an infinite amount of people using the term messy...and girls & grown women are behaving similarly to what they see on tv. As a woman, no matter what age, i refuse to behave like that. but were living in a society where that horrid violent behavior is being rewarded, so a lot of kids and young adults think its ok, which its not.

I do agree. I also think when you make a show about a group of people, and say it will be a look at how it is to be in the "lifestyle", most times what they do on these shows is only a small percentage because they do not represent or depict how 90% of us act.  It seems to be the Reality TV casts act up more than shows with a script. Shows with a script show a variety and it is a variety you come across. 

I thought with Basketball Wives, ok Shaunie is a great woman, mom, business woman, etc. so she will show how women are now holding it down just like the men.  She is still that type of woman, and maybe the other ladies are as well, but it got lost in all the pettiness.  I am out everyday, and I come across women who may or may not become friends, but there is no clique, no circle, we are all individuals who are together, so we act respectful to one another as women should do.

Women tend to be our own worst enemy sometimes. I don't knock anyone for getting their hustle on. Like men, women are are also out there making the money. It just happens that is some industries it is made up primarily of men, but there are a lot of women also and the numbers are rising. And just like the men, we're getting ours.  One thing I learned is, emotions have no business in business. Period.  It is important that when you work everyone is clear on what their role is. I never want to be caught up in non sense because a women doesn't like that her man works with a women. Some men are the reason it happens because they do thins they shouldn't be doing. But that is between them. I only do business, we don't need to hang out, be buds, etc. Work, get paid, go home to my children, work on my projects, etc.

Television is something I don't think people realize that, when you agree to share your life, you basically agreed to a Open House. So people watch, comment, judge. It could be the same in their homes, you just don't see it. It is stressful because you say the wrong thing and it gets interpreted the wrong way, its a shitstorm. That is hard, then you have to do do damage control and if you say or do the wrong thing it gets more off. Its never ending.

Black people need to stop... #1 people should have more control over what their kids watch. #2 reality stars are no different from strippers... They provide entertainment, that's it... We need to stop judging people by the lil 20 minute lap dance they give us on tv...
Let them people make it...
