I guess when Newsweek says it, it’s NOW somehow news. Not news to Mo’Kelly. Been saying it for years. In all seriousness though, the mainstream media will not largely cover stories important to us unless we push them to do so. And even then, they will only seek to cover the pathology of our communities.
Oh well, the story needs to be shared nonetheless…
The mud-slinging makes for watchable TV, but it also highlights an unsettling new formula for the reality-TV genre: put two or more headstrong African-American women in the same room, and let the fireworks begin. From Oxygen’s Bad Girls to Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise, the small screen is awash with black females who roll their eyes, bob their heads, snap their fingers, talk trash, and otherwise reinforce the ugly stereotype of the “angry black woman.” Take VH1’s Basketball Wives and Love & Hip Hop, which feature the scorned ex-wives and baby mamas of rich NBA stars and rappers. No episode is complete without a bitchy confrontation or a threat to do bodily harm.”

One response to “Reality TV Trashes Black Women (Newsweek)”
Umm…nobody *forces* these women to go at each other. Sure, the camera keeps rolling because it’s great TV, and I watched the Celebrity Apprentice where Trump kinda stoked the fire between Neene Leaks and Star Jones, but these women are grown and chose to behave the way they do.
Just sayin. And I’m a Black woman too.
