This weekend I finally had enough time and no scheduling conflicts to visit my sister up in bellingham. I hadn’t been up there since the last part of June before I moved and before she and I went home for a well deserved summer break.
We were catching up on TV and I saw that the Real Housewives of Atlanta was coming on. My roommate told me how ridic(ulous) the women on there were. My sister only echoed the sentiment. So I took a look for myself.
For a former “let’s make unnecessary drama” participant, I was welcomed back home with 5 “housewives” that had too much money and very little of the housewives title. However did the bring, as Perez would say, the “dramz”. Here’s the formula for the pilot episode:
$$$$$$$$ + black – housewife * servants = those idiots racist people that are fucking up the election (oh don’t deny you haven’t heard about it…)
Oh. You don’t think this ties together, eh?
Wait wait. Here is another formula: $$$$$$$ + blacks^ignorance = race wars or we can do better.
That show is the blatant definition of why so many people ( I could have said white people but I didn’t because there are some black people that think this and by some I mean me) think when they watch Housewives think, “oh so that is what happens when blacks get money”. Although it isn’t any different than everyone else, why did it seem so bad when I watched it? Am I over looking something?
Perception sucks but got damnit. Act like you are doing something with yours. It isn’t a bad thing that you would want to donate it or give back to a struggling community. Hell. Because really this is what people think when all is blacks get money.
Please view visit jibjab so that you can see why this is a problem… *sigh*
Clickty clackety clack clack!
