These women are professional strippers, plying their trade, capitalizing off their voluptuous bodies, finding their niche in the reality TV format. Good for them. (A girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do.) The problem arises when there are no alternative programs featuring black women as more positive role models. And I don't mean Kerry Washington giving POTUS a hard-on in "Scandal". Black anchor newswomen are the only sistas I'm familiar with who represent positive images. But that's because I mostly watch true crime documentaries where any episodes about black women deal with them either kiliing or being killed by their mates.

You hit the nail on the head when you called it "so called reality" tv. When people bring that up I ask them WHO'S reality are they portraying on these shows? The cast on most of these shows are attractive young people who seem to never work but have plenty of money to jack-off at malls and parties every night and they constantly get drunk and fight eachother but rarely do time in jail or prison. How many of the characters are unemployed? How many have cancer or AIDS? How many are victims of incest? How many are hardcore racist and belong to the Ku Klux Klan? These things are also part of reality but they don't make it to nework television. Rather than truly portraying a reality the public can relate to, it seems like the objective is social engineering by using ART to SHAPE REALITY. I'm meeting more and more normal well adjusted people who tell me straight up that they don't even HAVE a television set anymore and don't want one because of the garbage constantly flooding the airwaves. They say their computer allows them more control over the information and entertainment that flows into their home and it certainly makes sense.
