Black women and the television ...?
Listening to NPR the other day and the argument that was being pushed forward is that while that Al Sharpton is going after hip-hop artists that could well make a play for African-American women in reality shows that are portrayed as * b, a quite seriously wrong the way that African-Americans are portrayed in the media in general, and how the sisters are in the eyes of America. There a time when he complained that there was a serious minority presence on-screen reality, but that is no longer the case, since black women have their own shows, and minorities are consistent winners in programs such as Top Model. But it is the way that black women portrayed in reality television programs intentional or derivatives? Rap artists may be an easier target than the TV networks, is shown as "Charm School" and "Flava of Love" more demeaning, or just pure good entertainment?
I think Flavor of Love Charm School and are hysterical. Yes, some of the girls in the program are not so nice, but you can not change that. For all stereotypes, there is an exception. Look at Courtney, or gold, for example. She is handled with more class and decorum in Charm School, which really not even need to be there. However, as shady characters Larissa (Bootz) and Shay are not helping the stereotype perceived. Overall, I think that these programs are fun and that Al Sharpton is an ignorant opportunist.
