It isn´t racial stereotyping if it is true.

"And the truth will set you free."

Haven´t subscribed to cable in 5+ years. Guess I will miss the edification.

I see the Over Weight Network has a new high in lows, she is really scrapping the bottom of the barrow now. who knew oprah was racist / s off

This is not Oprah´s (O) channel. I have not heard of anyone who thinks this is not a travesty. Not worried about sterotypes, just worried about the fact that someone thought this was a good idea for a show!

I think okra just sold that channel - I thought the channel would be TLC - black shows all of the time. Stopped watching it and most others. I have the bundled tier and they are showing TV shows from the 50s. Comcast is constantly raising their fees and is rapidly pricing itself out of existence.

One more and he has a Rapper`s Dozen...

Sorry, okra´s channel is Own. Hard to keep up with. lol

Why would anyone think this show would be interesting?

Reality Bites

This man is a living breathing racial stereotype.´´This show should go on an educational channel, played in schools so everyone knows the hazards of promiscuous sex.

Too bad Obama´s free birth control pills weren´t available. I suppose the free condoms everyone was given in high school were thrown away. Or maybe they lost the instructions and just gave up trying to figure out how to use them.

It would be interesting to know the financial arrangements here. Does this hunk of African American manhood pay anything for the upkeep of his progeny? Is he quite certain that he is, in every case, the biological father? Are any of these outstanding young women on welfare? Are they employed or pursuing post-graduate degrees?

The proposed show, which certainly does not sound like stereotyping but rather a fairly typical mating pattern in this population, could answer such questions and more. Of course it normalizes and glamorizes a lifestyle that is largely for losers - but then, the show is principally directed to that audience anyway.

How fast can he run the 40? He may have a future as a cornerback for the NY Jets, bookending that other serial impregnator they have.

How in the world can it be racial stereotyping when it´s TRUE? Disgusting? Yes. Go ask the "Black Community" why it has descended into such degenerate depths.

What "families" could they possibly be talking about?

It´s already been done. It´s called "The Maury Povich Show". Close to 80% of black children are born to unmarried mothers. The truth hurts or in this case the truth will be celebrated as a black cultural choice. Not a problem as long as baby daddy obama keeps the money flowing to the hood.

negroes, negroes, negroes...

Why do people have TV?

#17, that was uncalled for. Most people know that word is not used anymore unless a person is very old or trying to be nasty.

Anyway, this is certainly not a stereotype...it is unfortunately more the rule than the exception nowadays. Thanks to LBJ and the racist Democrats, the nuclear black family has essentially been destroyed. What is sad is that the people don´t see how the Dems have manipulated them, created a dysfunctional ovwrwhelming majority of people caught in perpetual poverty and underclass. The left recruited and paid off community leaders to keep the people in line and believing the Dems have made their lives better while placing the blame for their problems on the right. But it is the left that continues to destroy these people and they let them. The problem with this show is that it may be used to make it look as if these people´s behavior is acceptable or even to be looked up to!! Evil media...

I am confused. What part of the show was stereotyping? A large number of rap performers are black? A large percentage of black children are born to single mothers? Or, a large percentage of black fathers have children from various mothers?

How come there is no reporting or "attack on White-American families" that produce countless of reality shows with white teen age mothers with little education from "white trash" families, "red-necks" shooting, fishing, swamping, trucking, bidding on numerous strange items and the countless of other reality shows that paint white people as illiterate, toothless, marry their cousin, "Deliverence"-born bafoons.

These programs horrendously stereotype white people, and in particular those who own guns, live in rural areas, tend to be relgious (think of what BO said in one of his public speeches) and do not have access to all the freebies blacks have through welfare and affirmative action.

Actually, this was one "Reality" TV show wife and I were highly anticipating. Finally "Reality" from Reality TV!

#9: I give you three words: Honey Boo Boo.

I don´t see what the scandal is about. Stereotypes happen because they have some basis in reality, otherwise they would not be held as believable stereotypes. They are like profiling - a shorthand or simplified description of a group of people based on commonly observed features. I think stereotypes can be misused if they are used, not as a guide to dealing with individuals, recognizing that individual exceptions occur but as a be all and end all in judging the other person´s character. Used that way, it would be both lazy and racist.

If you take stereotypes and look at the veracity of what it says about a community, embarrassing though it may be, these stereotypes inform on what others think of that community and can be used as a reflection of what is going badly in that community. For blacks, as long as they keep blaming others, they do not ascribe responsibility to those who are really destroying the community - those pushing for sexual irresponsibility and an entitlement mentality.

On the other hand, we have Buck Wild and Neanderthal Duck Hunters on white reality channels.

Not sure who got the best of that trade.

Scum media.

#19 - "That word" is making a comeback, and there´s no use plugging your ears and pretending it isn´t. Maybe it´s a good thing, too. Why shouldn´t we differentiate between blacks - decent people who marry, work, take care of their families and respect traditional American virtues - and the rapidly primitivizing trash that´s sinking into the squalor of decivilization? It´s an ugly word for an ugly thing.

aka Harsh Reality

There must be some definitions of "family" I´m not familiar with....

#18: DVDs. Of, for example, the Granada "Sherlock Holmes" series; "Victory at Sea"; "The Sopranos"; Michael York´s "The Three Musketeers"; the BBC "Last of the Mohicans"; Burton-Taylor "Taming of the Shrew"; stuff like that.

What we have here, and all over the country, is the end result of the liberal Democrat "Great Society" social welfare programs of the 1960´s.

While it is unusual for one cool dude to have 10 baby mamas, it is not unusual for millions of cool dudes to have several baby mamas, if they looked, they could easily find them in all the big city ghettos all over America.

The only comeback I have seen of that word is by people who claim to be "conservative". But real conservatives don´t engage in group-think. They judge people as individuals based on personal merit--not on irrelevant physical characteristics. Leftists, who historically are racist, are the ones that categorize people based on irrelevent characteristics and features and put people in boxes and label them. They use this group-think mentality to use people and pit people against each other for their own sick ideological agenda. Anyone who thinks it is okay to use such a word that is not generally accepted by people it is supposed to describe, especially in a negative connotation, likely has issues that may need addressing.

More dumbing down. Ignorant and proud.

The worse part of the show would be how many would emulate them.

#19, FYI #17 was mimicing a very very typical Urban greeeting between AA´s.
Either learn the language of the streets(which, thanks to Democrats will soon be EVERYWHERE) or stop commenting on others knowledge.
It is WAY past time to stop pussyfooting around with the Left´s rules. S crew them I am taking back my language and Country.
