Why Are Black Women Portrayed In Bad Light in The Media by Olivia111(f): 11:34am On Aug 02, 2014 |
If there was some sort of balance in the depiction of Black women on TV I wouldn’t take so much issue with the CRAP that is on TV. There is NO balance. There are NO examples of Black women on TV who are not immoral, immature, superficial, ghetto, materialistic, and stank. I think the thing that hurts me soooo much is that Black women not only don’t care that there are no positive depictions of Black women on TV or in the media, but they want to emulate these “women” as if they are the ideal. They want to be like Mary Jane and all those Basketball wives and Housewives who do nothing domestic whatsoever. All Black women care about is the wardrobe and the shoes and the makeup and the things that are shallow and meaningless, the life of wealth riches that is depicted on TV, to hell with the fact that all the women on TV are cheating, immoral whores. Black women want immature Black men as long as they are rich and attractive. There isn’t one show on TV that shows Black women of integrity. There isn’t one show on TV that shows Black women who are not blinded by money and things and being beautiful. It’s all good to be beautiful, I am not hating on attractive Black women, but none of the Black women on TV, on reality or scripted dramas, has an inkling of what it means to be a woman of substance, who knows how to cultivate and nurture a relationship beyond looking good. Even the Doctors of Atlanta or whatever the hell that horrid show is depicts Black women as little more than materialistic and shallow gold diggers. It is EXACTLY like Black women are slaves on the plantation, trying to emulate the slave master, like they are aspiring to have the wealth and status white people have but ignoring every single solitary meaningful characteristic or trait that makes a Black woman truly empowered. There is an entire generation of Black women who think that life is about wearing the most expensive dresses and shoes and shopping and backstabbing. It doesn’t matter if they can’t form a sentence properly, if they are pathological liars, if they bring nothing to the table other than a rich husband. It’s all good as long as they have a face full of MAC and red bottom shoes. We are a nation doomed 1 Like |

Olivia, be the change you desire. Make a difference for the black woman. Perhaps you can start by becoming a black woman of substance on a US Tv Show, so other black women would emulate you. I think Michelle Obama should be role model for black women across the world, and not some Tv showstars. 1 Like |

No way, I need to know your TV graphic display - Black & White? Look, you generalize way too much. There are numerous TV shows and movies that portray black women with good morals and character. I don't agree with your opinion. |

Largas: Olivia, be the change you desire. Thanks Mr. Largas, I am currently a fashionista and my works are all towards the depiction of a responsible, less mundane, independent black woman. Already headlined too Teen Black Culture shows in Miami, I shall thrive to make a mark. |
