I like that chica. Well, you know me. I have never really been into Hip Hop. I enjoy true oldies like Sam Cooke, Etta James, Temptations, true soulful singers with a message. I too, am thoroughly disgusted with sodomization on the Hip Hop world. I, in no way, hold the rappers responsible for the actions of the youth nowadays because I feel that burden should lie with their parental figures. However, I would like the current teller of lies, "artists," to define the word art and self evaluate their supercilious, parsimonious, crap they now call Hip Hop. I am utterly disappointed with music today as it is not only Hip Hop that pollutes the world with unreservedly, degrading, comments about their very own cultural ethnic backgrounds and opposite sex. In order for a change to come, all must agree to take a stand and remain there until the desired change takes place.
| Me: http://www.femalesuccessfactor.com/fsf_events.php you heard about this? amcnair00 : naw i hadn't heard of it but I ain't going to nothing that consider Nene a success story lol how did u hear about it Me: i think b/c of her domestic violence background. I was just talkin about her...i think she is doing that more so cuz of ratings lol...she prbly the highest paid housewife on atl lol amcnair00 : who nene hmmm mayb??? not sure but i still am not a fan of hers... Me: yea lol....the rest are boing! on all these reality shows you need a most hated person and nene is it! lol!!! hedi and spencer-the hills and lawd knows omorosa got paid amcnair00 : i guess Me: on big bro, the most out spoken you are and confrontational leads to more camera time, which leads to more ratings, which leads to you got some fat pockets by the time you leave the house lol amcnair00 : but all that negativity she always spewing ppl feed off that and love lol Me: of course i don't like the way they portray black people but at the same time, were the ones paying them lol amcnair00 : yeah i guess lol its a combo of us and advertisers who know viewers will flock to that coonery lol so they will pay the money for the spots Me: but at the same time..i can't hate on them using that platform to launch other careers, in nene case, her book, sheree, her line, lisa, her many endevaors and kim....i guess her song and her wig line! lol!! wud i do the same...probably all reality tv is scripted anyway so that y i don't buy into that much but it is entertaining at times lol amcnair00 : yeah i guess Me: i wouldn't portray myself like that but hey...if i had the offer to make that money i would find a way to be clean as possible lol amcnair00 : lol i guess i would be the one u see in passing like just the sidekick u see on the side lol Me: the way i see it, most of us or the black community ack that way already, the difference between them is, they have cameras there to catch it. we're just offended by it cuz all of a sudden people like me find in entertaing but the only reason i do find it entertaining cuz its ridonkulous. brb..gota pee lol amcnair00 : okay i feel ya that's y i did that blog anyway
Me: back..lol...i'm not sayin its right to ack that way but i just think the only reason we are offended becuase its the truth...yea i get that they did the show with good intentions to show that black people do have money and nice things but after that, it quickly turn it to, whos flashier, whos richer, kim pretty much laying on her back to get whatever she wants, after that became old news then the fighting and the drama came into play...this happening right next door and some people are probably even guilty of it...stop giving people the materail to produce this crap and maybe a tv camera would actaully find in interesting to follow a black woman around, working hard and taking care of her bills and take it the next step further by actually having her husband there supporting her instead of running off with another woman! if we really wana help tv, we need to restore our own family vaules if we want good tv lol....thats all i'm saying amcnair00 : true ur right people are offended b/c its the truth that's how it always is, but their r some of us who honestly don't find that show appealing lol I'm one of those I could take it or leave it but I gotta have my CSI lol And you right more of these networks need to follow the reall woman and wives of ATL to see what we do, but the thing that gets me is ppl that don't live here actually thing everyone here is like that and I get tired of explaining half of that mess I have never seen
Me: that show is appaling but so is bet, half of them naked, so is the game, their message ain't any better, survivor, half naked in a jungle, i can point out 1 thing wrong in er tv show out there but yet i recorded and keep up with the latest episode, ain't no show really better than the other one really. amcnair00 : naw it's not that's y I'm not rushing getting cable Me: people thought that way about atlanta before the show. you didn't need that show to get a picture about how atalnta was, its in books, fiction or non, freak neak already dub atl as the freak capital, girls running wild before the white guy did the serious, atlanta already had its issues and will still have its issues after the show will stop taping. atlanta is considered the black mecca of the world and you can barly find a hand full of black people tryna make atlanta positive! men and women! whether its keeping your family together, stop having kids out of wedlock, drugs, etc. you can't blame it on the mayor and the westside and the blah blah blah! its on the streets when you walk by, butt crack showing, women acking ghetto in the grocery store, housewives ain't had nothing to do with it black people, as always, saw housewives as a punching bag and needed somebody to blame and since they put it out there, 1 positive person that is actually making a difference, made a comment and the rest of the blacks jumped on board and started stoning them too...typical blacks lol amcnair00 : true u have a point its no one person,show or aread to blame but the race as a whole but those are issues not just exclusive to Atlanta just here they are exploited for the world to see and they take those stereotypes and latch them on to the city's image Me: i lived here for the past 9 years...i seen it with my own eyes..if i didn't lived here...maybe i would have a different stoy but as far as the country is concerened, atlanta is like an influential market to the black population becuase the city is black, we was given the opprotunity to have a positive black city but most of the negative things about black people, are right here amcnair00 : sooo true Me: highest aids rate among blacks, atl on the list, dummest blacks, we on the list...its crazy but we just wana sit back and blame outlets for it.
but oh well lol amcnair00 : yeah i hear ya its the people and I'm not blaming the shows for the problems but I am saying they don't help in trying to solve these probs Me: look at all the most influential black churches in the country are right here...how many blacks don't even wana take the time to attend on sunday... amcnair00 : true Me: help starts with yourself first.... amcnair00 : and those churches have issues yeah it does i agreee dang what u fussing at me for what i do lol Me: white folk are gona continue to make money on black ignorance until the blacks wake up and do something about it...and continue to do something about it...not 1 march and boom, i'm tired lol amcnair00 : lol Me:
amcnair00 : i know but yeah u r bringing up some serious points and i feel ya Me:
i just that i have learned that i can't blame other people....from being a black woman with a black daughter, i can do my part by raising a positive black woman...yea..when she old enuff to talk and repeat things, of course the tv gona be block on all things not g rated. if i have the opportunity to sway someone institutionallized way of think, i'll try...but i do give up easily because my patience is short amcnair00 : amen yeah that's one of the things we have to take responsibiltiy for our own actions my play momma used to make me mad then I had to step back and realize things that happen to us are really cause and effect what to we do to make certain things happen to us... Me: yea pretty much....i aint payed tithes in...oo..3 weeks maybe...boom, caught a flat, got a virus and the baby sick so i missed work....trippled the amout of my tithes right there amcnair00 : wow Me: sad..but true amcnair00 : yeah not paying tithes and offerings broke now and don't know how I'm getting home I feel ya I brought this on myself as as well Me: at least i know a breakthough has to be around the corner so i know now not to get depressed about it lol amcnair00 : and u can't even get mad when u take responsibility for your actions or situations u just be like dang I gotcha Lawd I'm learning Amen!! lol Is it okay if I blog this conversation???
