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!

Just a reminder……..McNulty, Omar, Bubbles, Marlo and the rest of the gang from The Wire are back this Sunday night on HBO. Check your local listings for times, and remember to set your TiVo’s!

Here’s the premise of the premiere episode:

Season 5, Episode 51: More With Less

“The bigger the lie, the more they believe.” - Bunk Moreland

In the fifth-season premiere, McNulty and the detail continue to stake out Marlo’s crew, recently promoted Sgt. Carver is welcomed by a cauldron of discontent from officers coping with unpaid overtime; Though he wants to keep his campaign promise to lower crime, Mayor Carcetti is strapped by his commitment to schools, and faces some tough choices; Col. Daniels is forced to reallocate his resources, retaining Freamon and Sydnor for the Clay Davis probe; Meanwhile, city editor Augustus “Gus” Haynes and the staff of The Baltimore Sun are reeling from corporate cutbacks, losing key personnel from both the metro and international divisions; Still, with the help of reporters Alma Gutierrez, Jeff Price and Scott Templeton, Haynes is able to break a front-page story that links a politician to a co-op drug dealer; Proposition Joe, Marlo, Fatface Rick and other new day co-op members meet in a hotel conference room to discuss divvying up drug frontiers across East Baltimore’s county line.

Discussions will be held in the Infinite Ink Forum on Monday in regards to the latest episodes.
