#143, 144, 145, and 146. I co-sign with all of you!

To hear Black Americans cheering on this stuff blows my MIND! I feel like I am living in some nightmare. How did we get to the point where even ONE of us could have the gall to voluntarily present him/herself like THAT in 2007. No shame? No pride? No self-respect? Shows like Springer, Maury, Flavor of Love pimp the foolishness of the most ignorant members of our now pathetic race.

To those of you who say ‘white folks look crazy too’. They are not hated by the world. They are not an ‘unknown’, misunderstood race. They are not considered ignorant and unworthy, at birth. Their success, power, and influence FAR outweigh their select silly one-off antics. We do not have such a luxury and will increasingly suffer for it.

We should be as vigilant as the Jews when it comes to protecting our image.

Wonder why other groups routinely vote or work to undermine anthing supporting black advancement? Employment. Education. Law. Keep reinforcing images of blacks acting uncivilized and unworthy.

I AGREE WITH #149. WHY EVERYBODY SAYING THAT WHITE PPL PUTTIN ON THE SHOW TO DEGRADE BLACKS AND A LOT OF REALITY SHOWS HAS WHITES “DEGRADING” EACH OTHER. I PERSONALLY DONT WATCH “JACKASS” WHICH HAS WHITE PPL BEING REALLY “STUPID” BUT A LOT OF WHITE PPL WATCH IT. SO WHY YOU ALL THINK WHITE PPL WATCHIN FOL OR ILNY, THEY MAY NOT BE AS WELL AS THERE MAY BE BUT ITS NOT GONNA STOP THE PRODUCERS FROM PUTTING OUT SOMETHING THAT THEY THINK APPEALS TO A CERTAIN AUDIENCE

New Hartford, NY is in the middle of Upstate New York, east of Buffalo. Apparently, She doesn’t know where she spent her time. What I find funny is that this area is actually an upper class, suburban, bmw driving kinda area. As someone from a town close to there, I can say for sure that no one in that town wants her representing them. I would rather stick to the successful athletes from that area to represent our beautiful upstate New York. I think we’ll pass on the trash. Thanks anyway!

#155 hit the nail on the head when u mentioned Jackass, I mean thats one show I would never watch bcuz its soooo stupid and meaningless and lacks any dialouge or cause. As for #154, u cant compare black ppl with Jews bcuz thats a religion….Do u think u would see a reality Christian, Jehovah witness or Seventh Day Adventist show with ppl acting like these groups on reality t.v., drinking, smoking, walking around naked and fighting. Hell to the No!

But on the other hand do u even watch the Trinity Broadcast Network or The World Harvest Channel or any other religious channel for that matter? There are plenty of black folks who are acting with a cause there…… Clearly not bcuz ur @zz was watchin I Love New York just like the rest of us on here. Be for real. U could have turned the channel but I bet all the ppl who hated on I love N.Y. or FOL will be tuned in next week. Ha!

I watched the show for the first and last time it came me a headache.P.s. Head on is a great product.

#80 WHO IN HELL GIVES A FUCK BOUT DEELISHSIS? THE BITCH SHOULD NEVA BEEN HAVIN ATTENTION ANYWAY 2 BEGIN WIT, CUZ THERE AIN’T NUTHIN GOOD ABOUT HER. NOW #140 U CROSSIN THE LINE WHEN U MENTION HOOPZ CUZ SHE DONT HAVE SHIT 2 DO WIT NONE OF THIS. BUT U HAVE MY PERMISSION 2 TALK BOUT HOLISHIS ALL U WANT THOUGH LOL!

I bet the same people who think FOL and ILNY are so degrading are the same one’s who tuned in to Dave Chapelle’s Show. Now that show was in your face degrading cause you had white people participating behing and in front of the cameras. How about films like I’m Gonna Get You Sucka? That isn’t degrading?

This rude ass bitch….

You know, Flavor of Love was similar to a car wreck: you know it’s bad but you can’t help but watch it. That’s exactly how I Love NY is going to be for me. I’m not gonna lie, I marked it on my calendar. I like NY. I think she’s absolutely insane and hiliarious and hell, I ain’t got nothing else to watch on Mondays at 9pm so why not?

What’s up with the wig?
Doesn’t she love her own hair enough…
Oh my eyes have seen it all now…

Bill Said:

I cosign 105 %

I’m not concerned with how White TV Programs like Jackass, etc, etc…

If white people want to act a fool, that’s THERE business…

White don’t have to fight for RESPECT like Blacks do..

New York and her tranny looking mother set us back another 100 years. This show, and shows like it, are a disgrace to the black community.

To all those who don’t like the show, don’t waste your time blogging about your disomfort and furthermore, don’t watch the show. Im sick of this hateration.

^discomfort

“Grand Diva of Arbitrary Emotions.” is not a compliment. what an idiot. she doesn’t realize they’re just calling her a crazy bi-polar and borderline manic beeyotch.

I didn’t think Dave Chappelle was funny when his show was on regular season and EVERYONE thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. But you know, I have to honestly say, I actually sat down and watched the DVD.

I laughed my azz off on the Sam Adams skit. Sometimes in my busy life, I need a release. Outside of playing with my kiddos, spending time with my man, it’s laughter.

If something can make me laugh and take the stress out of my life and noone is being harmed, I’m good. As far as this I LUV NY show, I can take it or leave it. However, I’ma watch a couple episodes just to have 2 cents to talk about on it!

#166, I can’t agree with you. It is refreshing to see that there are well meaning, deep thinking, concerned, young Black Americans who will ‘hate’ on the bullshit when given the platform and opportunity.

I was starting to think I was alone.

Interesting comment (not directly related, but follow along): I was asking a couple of my Mexican buddies who live in LA ‘why is it that the Mexicans keep preying on the blacks’ (literally ‘target practice’ on anyone black, if they can get away with it — its been really hot for over a year now)? Their separate responses were interesting, which started off with this: “You know, you’ve gotta understand something, they learn (media)to hate and disrespect blacks while in Mexico, and simply get the opportunity to clown on the blacks when they get here.”

Obviously, this is in no way a complete answer, but thinking folks can understand what this small recent (yesterday) anectdote highlights.

TO Bill and Windwalker…knowledge truly is power…it is very disheartening to read these comment typed by BLACK people, MY people, OUR people. They truly fail to see the big picture.

NinjaGirl..I seriously recommend you pick up a book and understand where you come from. You by far make the most uninformed comments on this thread. For the record, I do not watch those trash shows like Flavor of Love, I Love NY or that stupid ass Dave Chappelle show. So don’t assume just because I post on the topic that I’m tuned in with the rest of you dumb ass black people who are comatose at the wheel.

I’m going to make this point very brief, because i doubt that I can even shed some light on an individual with no self awareness like yourself. Listen very closely: you CANNOT and WILL NEVER be able to compare blacks to whites. Throwing up idiotic white shows like The Real World and Jackass does not strengthen your argument. First off, like someone clearly stated, White people do not have a negative image to fight worldwide. White people are not disrespected and viewed as a inferior race the way blacks are. Whites DO NOT have to worry about damage control the way we do. White people are not portrayed as a societal burden like blacks are. White lives are considered valuable, whereas the life of a black person is seen as dispensable. Whites as a group make the decisions, own and create the majority of the wealth generated worldwide and are RESPECTED. This is not the case for us. Do you see the damage that shows like this create? The next time you’re passed up for a promotion at work, fail to secure a job interview with a good company, or travel to another country and are treated like dog shit, turn on the television…take your pick between Flavor of Love, I Love NY or the Dave Chappelle show just to name a few and laugh like a stupid donkey. The rest of the world will be laughing as well….AT you and black people collectively.

True,
The purpose of a Blog is so that people can give their OPINION on the topic.

Why people feel that a person should not have an issue with the subject matter is beyond me…

Thanks for relating your experiences with the Mexicans.

That just reinforces the point that sometimes the images presented in the Media about Blacks can have a negative effect on our race.

Peace

reality_check,
I cosign and agree with you 101% !!!!!

Blog Detectives are on there job if you are so “sick” why read the comments? “you can hate if you want to but your wasting ya time”

#105—–”WE LIVE TO SELLOUT”?

LET’S THINK ABOUT MISS.LINDA #105
WE LIVE TO SELLOUT?!?
-OKAY HOW MUCH DO YOU COST?

?$#105
? U $ #105

People will watch because people love to live vicariously through these fools. It will be a hot mess regardless. Her “You know what baby?” is too stupid…

all that jibberish about her and her mothers behavior affecting black folks is crap [and yes im a black person]. I believe each person is responsible for their own actions and all that generalization shit goes out the window in my opinion…. but as far as new yorks new show …i think its hilarious and she must be blind not to recognize that its a bunch of giggalo/pimps in there! i mean how dumb or desperate do u have to be to not get that

a. youre a big joke

b. you stink

&

c. the men that participated in the show are either there for money or fame and NOTHIN else.

oh and maybe a lil sweet revenge i mean that woman acted more than a fool on international television. she created unecessary drama and i think a lot of men watched and were like ” im gonna get that bitch”…..so she deserves whatevers comin 2 er.

oh and by the way i bet #66 is new york as a ghostwriter! cause no sane brotha would say that shit!!! mmmmhmm!

@#170 Ur point is understood however ur still wrong…..I have worked in corperate America for over 9 yrs and can say that I have never been overlooked of a promotion bcuz of a reality show!?? Thats going over board….If u have been overlooked for a promotion sweetie u need to look @the man in the mirror.

I’ve worked for a company who has just as many black managers as whites. However, there are more white ceo’s and presidents then there are blacks. Not bcuz of reality t.v., its politics. There will never be a black or hispanic president for that matter and it doesnt matter if Martin Luther King rose from the dead and ran for president, its not happenin.

For u to say I need to pick up a book is crazy bcuz I read everyday. Sorry u feel that ur real life situations are stemmed from reality t.v. but u have to own up to ur reality… T.v. is for entertainment only and ur career is a reflection of u. When u get a promotion or raise @work its not bcuz of what N.Y. or Flava Flav did last week, lol. Cmon, b real.

#180 ninagirl1, I have read all of your posts on this thread. In all seriousness, serious question, Are you trying to:

1. Play ‘devils advocate’, and make senseless statements for the sake of arguement? or

2. Trying to be coy and funny? or

3. Really BELIEVE what you have been writing?

Maybe I am lost to the joke or something, because you really can’t be for real…like ‘for real for real’. Right?

Windwalker….I agree with you. I am starting to believe that Ninagirl is indeed playing devil’s advocate or being contrary just for sport. I refuse to believe that any enlightened, well-read black person (and by well-read I’m not talking about Vibe, Essence or Ebony magazines) would believe that garbage she is typing.

Because you seem to have completely missed the mark Ninagirl, the subject of my post is not about individual career successes, but about the success and failure of black people as a RACE (meaning as a whole). If anyone cannot/will not understand the correlation between a negative image, lack of self-respect and pride and the progression of a people, then we (meaning ALL of us) truly are in trouble.

Wow Reality_Check

An amazing rebuttal–something I’ve always thought but could not articulate. I lived in Southern France for a year studying. Every time I would go out with my friends, i would always be apporached by nasty french guys who wanted a guick piece. They would sexualize me, call me names like Josophine Baker, Naomi Campbell, Little Kim…I look like none of these women. I was so confused as to why I got these names it seemed so random, then, i was watching televison one night (Canal Plus) and saw these coon shows being aired and dubbed in french. Trust me, the dubbing is even worse, makes us look even more stupid. Instead of seeing me as a PhD candidate in Physics studying in France, they saw me as a loose black negro bitch.

I agree with you 100%. The plight of blacks and the rest of the world is like comparing apples and oranges. We do need to wake up!

Thanks for your well stated post.

To Windwalker, Edub and Reality Check, yes I’m serious. I can relate to Edubs comments about being called Lil Kim etc…bcuz its happened to me b-4 but my hair was in a weave and I may have appeared to resemble the rap star. However, that comment came from a black person on my job. :O

My point is that anyone could say ok 10% of Catholic priest are molesting the boys in the church than assume u cant trust any Catholic priest or if 5% of Caucasian males are pediphiles and serial killers than u would say, generally all of them are sick. We all watch the news everyday and move on. But its not ok to judge one person or ppl in whole bcuz of a small is acting out, thats called racism.

Racism still exist in the new millenia and I agree that its awful. But it wouldnt matter if all of the black t.v. shows that exploit black ppl were banned and all we could watch was the Cosbys or similar shows, even then there would still be racism. All we can do is represent our selves as indivisuals and let our lights shine. U all seem really bitter about this subject and Im sorry that the world has made u all so biased however, ppl will b ppl and evil walks the earth everyday. Instead of complaining about I luv N.Y. likes its such a serious subject lets talk about A.I.D.’s in Africa and the U.S., now thats a problem.

#184, ninagirl1

1. Regarding your resemblance to L’il Kim for one day, your point is irrelevant.

2. Regarding the Catholic Church and little boys, the Church clearly demonstrated that it understands that ‘Image IS Everything’, and worked hard to handle the bullshit (ex: they covered the shit up for years). So, your point is lost.

3. Regarding your point that racism will always be racism, true. But, (a) it doesn’t necessarily have to be as severe as it is (ex: 2007 is presumably better than 1955), nor (b) should black folks do shit that makes the idea of racism seem like ‘logical sense’ (ex: “blacks are stupid and irrelevant, just look at how they act”).

4. Regarding your point that we should be talking about AIDS in Africa. Well, this blog string is about the ‘Flavor of Love and Ms.New York’.

Keep laughing at FlavorFlav, Ms.New York, Jerry Spring shows, Maury shows, and all of the ‘if a black man were President’ movies. You just keep laughing girl. Keep on giggling.

Windwalker u need help if u think ur gonna start a civil right movement based on FOL, ILNY, Maury or Jerry Springer. Im gonna keep on watching all of them. I support black ppl in whatever they do as long as it doesnt hurt anyone. Ur generalization is just that.

#186 I know and realize that this is a FOL, ILNY thread but you can’t help but mention the damaging effects of these kind of shows. I don’t know you, you seem like a person who is proud of who you are. I admire and respect that. However, with your statment that you will support blacks no matter what they do as long as they are not hurting anyone, I have this to say. It hurts me. No, I’m not emotionally scarred and need counseling, but I’m tired of not being viewed as a legitimate human being. I can’t and don’t blame it on FOL and ILNY but they do add to the pot.

#186 Damn, I am absolutely speechless. I guess all I can say at this point is ‘enjoy the shows’, and rest assured that there are more on the horizon, for your ‘entertainment pleasure’. Goodbye.

I agree with 149, 150 & 157

I said it once and I’ll say it again. The way other races look at blacks WILL NEVER CHANGE no matter what program is on TV. And if you any of you think otherwise you need a reality check. I thought the Kramer situation would have been enough validation of that.

How did the show become about black people setting us back 20 years Etc? It’s not that deep there are different races on the show and I can not distinguish one jackass from the next. The show is for entertainment purposes only and I can’t knock Ny’s hustle she is just a squirrel.This show is no different than the other Hams with airtime.

@ 189, Foxxy380 said: “The way other races look at blacks WILL NEVER CHANGE no matter what program is on TV”

hmmm….I wonder where the Jews would be if they adopted that mentality…just a thought.

@ windwalker and Edub, I’m sorry but I’m not debating anymore with this group of blacks who chose to remain in the dark. Its a waste of time and VERY disheartening *shakes head*

I’ll just say this: Enjoy your shows black people. Maybe this season the world will get to witness another black woman taking a shit on the living room floor (ala FOL season 2)….Enjoy!!!

#191, I said ‘goodbye’ last night. The old folks have a saying: “Never argue with children or fools.”

On to the next post…

Its ashame that “MEN” are actually “THAT GULLABLE” & “DESPARATE”…

Out of all the MATURE, BEAUTIFUL, WELL ROUNDED, EDUCATED, “NON SUPERFICIAL” BLACK WOMEN ON THIS EARTH…

NEW YORK?

WTF?

I love New York with her crazy ass!!! I’m gonna watch every episode of I love New York!! Do yo thang girl!!!

How many times is this bitch going to say “You know what Baby” and “What?”

That shit is all scripted. You know what Baby? I wont be watching it.

The shows like Jackass is degrading. I cant believe some of you people out their care what people say about our race. Im a young black African American female and there isn’t anything that the white man could put on tv or do to make me look down on my on race and say that black people or a disgrace. It’s people like Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks etc, that made me a believer. When I look at some of these tv shows I see white people on the dating shows going with the same sex, drinking and acting crazy, and then the show Jackass just takes the cake, it makes me happy to be BLACK. It must be something that the white people like about black people because now adays they are trying so hard to be, and when I see how easy it is for the black people to easily accept them burns me up. Its a bleesing to be black. If any one picked up a history book it was the white people who did something to every single race. LIKE I SAID ITS NOTHING A WHITE MAN CAN DO FOR ME TO PART MY LIPS A SAY BLACK PEOPLE ARE A DISGRACE. IM HAPPY TO BE BLACK. PEACE OUT.

@Reality_Check, WTF does Jews have to do with the comment I made?

I AM TALKING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!!!! I am talking about the generation who was in fucking slavery for nearly 400 years, who was owned and controlled, who was stripped of nearly all rights and their freedom, who were not paid for their labor, who were lynched, beaten, raped, whipped. We were looked down on as we weren’t shit then and we are looked down on like we ain’t shit now. Wake the fuck up! And like I said, it has nothing to do with programs that are on TV. Before these programs came on they didn’t think any different.

LOL WHAT IS UP WITH HER IN THAT PICTURE HAHA ANYWAY I THINK THE SHOW IS GOOD SO FAR AS LONG AS SHE KEEPS “CHANCE” ON THERE BECAUSE HE’S LIKE THE COMEDIAN OF THE SHOW IF SHE WOULD’VE GAVE HIM THE BOOT I PROBABLY WOULD’NT HAVE WATCH THAT SHOW ANYMORE I GOTTA KEEP IT REAL BUT… CHANCEAND HIS BROTHER REAL” IS SEXY AS HELL LADIES YA’LL HAVE TO AGREE JUST BECAUSE “CHANCE” HAS A GAP DOASN’T MEAN HE AINT CUTE … CL WHENEVER YA’LL DO GET IN CONTACT WITH CHANCE HAVE HIM TO CALL ME

NEW YORK KEEP DOING YOUR THING GIRL. PEOPLE ARE NOT PAID TO WATCH YOU, SO IF THE HATERS DON’T WANT TO WATCH THEY DON’T HAVE TO. MAYBE THEY SHOULD GET OFF THERE LAZY ASSES AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM A REALITY SHOW. THAT’S NOT COONERY OR BAFOONERY. THEY SAT AROUND IT LOVE FLAVA FLAVA SHOW YOU CAN’T GET ANYMORE COON THEN THAT. HE’S LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE COON BANK. SO DO YOU. MOM TO.

I have been hearing alot about how you used to weigh over 300lbs? Is that true?

Tiffany, I just saw the reunion show and man did Tango acted like a complete jackass. First he came out challenging Chance to a fight but surprisingly, Chance was not into that. We did not get why he still wanted to fight with them and he had already won. From this moment on we began to have doubts about you chosing him. He started to come of sounding really ignorant. He acted like an old dirty gangster. When he dumped you alot of us hadn’t even understood what he had said until you reacted that’s how dumb he came of. Girlfriend, don’t even worry about that and it don’t make no sense crying over SPOIL MILK. Our mamma’s have a saying and it goes ‘YOU DON’T HAVE TO MARRY THE FIRST MAN THAT PROPOSES’. So Tiff, today we’ll have a glass of champayne, a bowl of cookies ‘n’ cream ice-cream and turn on some old Tina Turner music because that’s a strong ass woman. THERE’S ONE THING WE WANT PATRICK TO KNOW THOUGH, IN LIFE YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL HOW YOU BURN THOSE BRIDGES BABY BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW……………….

okay ya know what! New York is sooo awesome, she is totally my role model, she always knows how to tell people off and i think thats so cool about her! The wig does look bad on her, but her hair straight or wazy looks really nice.
Anywho you people need to lay off of New York, bet you wouldnt be saying the shit you’re saying now on the internet to NY’s face now would you, of course not.
New York if you ever read this know im your biggest fan!

Reality_Check,
There’s a lot of good points in your post(s).
I’d like to point out that Black Americans make up about 12% of the population here in the US. Just for the sake of pointing it out, white people make most of the decisions simply because they are the majority here. It’s pretty much statistics–if you put 88 purple beads in a jar with bead-sized holes in the top, add 12 red beads, mix them together, and then shake it (like a salt shaker) over a bowl, most of the beads that come out are probably going to be purple.
—–
New York may be educated, but she doesn’t give the impression of being intelligent. Both she and her mother act a little strangely. However, I disagree that they are representing black people as a whole; possibly in other countries /if/ they get VH1 shows, but you hear about both Paris Hilton and New York as, for lack of a better word, “celeb-hos.”
Of course, it’s possible that she’s just pretending, but you’d think she would have caught herself about “arbitrary” in this interview.

Hopefully, people will just see this show as what it is: VH1’s attempt to pander to the same audiences who watch MTV’s Sweet Sixteen. The behavior is remarkably similar. Not to mention, all “reality” TV is fairly lame in the first place.
