I used to love VH1. Not only did they show videos, but they showed informative music news programs. Well, not anymore. VH1 is contributing to the Coonification of America. Damn near every reality show that they air shows Blacks in a bad light.
If it’s not the Flavor of Love trilogy, it’s the I Love New York shows. When Flav decided not to come back for a 4th time, I breathed a small sigh of relief………..that was until a week ago. Now New York is back with New York Goes To Hollywood and Diddy has a new reality show on VH1 called I Want To Work For Diddy, where he has folks scrambling to do his bidding.
VH1 (and apparently the majority of America) just loves to see Black people make fools of themselves. But I don’t think that VH1 is solely to blame. Viacom is the real culprit. Viacom owns VH1, MTV and BET. Those 3 channels alone have produced some of the worst reality shows on television. And guess which race dominates on those reality shows? You guessed it, Black people! And the majority of those shitty ass reality shows are shown on VH1, which is my reason for this rant.
This shit must stop! What the fuck is wrong with us? If I see one more person of color lowering themselves for the sake of fame and/or money, I’m gonna scream. And with most of these competitions, they only win like $100,000. And after taxes, you don’t end up with much money. Okay, you buy a car and what else? Not much left, huh? Just plain ignorant. Fame is fleeting. Stay your ass in school and away from VH1!
I second that emotion! AMEN!
Well said. It’s nothing but chewing gum for the brain. And I am glad to say that I don’t tune in to any of it.
sad but some blame goes to the people who sign up for these shows too. what are they thinking.
*Lighting a candle for the billions of innocent brain cells slaughtered by this madness.*
no DOUBT. i have never watched any of those shows and it actually makes me lose a bit of respect for the folk who do. i just don’t see how folk can find ANYTHING funny about ‘em.
PREACH!!!!
Aaahhhh.. all I can say is…. the denim has returned!!!!! YESSSS! Awww Nikki. Let’s go have some flavored water luv… and let’s hear you get some more of that EVIL out! : )
I’ll take some of the blame for this. When it was just one show, I watched. When it was two I watched. Those shows were my guilty pleasure. If I’d known it was going to spiral downward and out of control, I would have never watched season 1 of Flavor of Love. *sigh*
I saw something really scary on the news last night. There is a “school” in NY that is supposedly training people to be reality show stars. Basically, they take people’s money and in return they teach them to be comfortable being an idiot in front of a camera. Wow.
You’re so right! But something tells me we haven’t seen the worst yet.
