I'm going to rant, and this looks like a good place and thread to do
it. No, I don't watch MTV or VH1, probably never will again. I gave up
on contemporary music in the late 90s, when it turned into a bunch of
sh!! rap and hip-hop I can't stand to listen to.
It's not just MTV or VH1. And it's not just sports. It's freakin'
everywhere on TV. My wife watches soap operas she records onto our DVR,
and I catch it on occasion when she watches them. There are black
doctors, lawyers and technicians portrayed, all over the place! We all
know that in nice, white, suburban areas of the upper Midwest, there
aren't that many blacks anyway, and damn sure not enough intelligent
ones to staff a whole hospital with them as doctors! The writers and
producers only do this to show how they *want* the world to be, not how
it really is (nor probably will ever be).
And the commercials on TV now. I'm getting real sick of watching that
race mixing sh!! every time I turn on the TV. No, people, in the real
world, blacks don't hang out very often with Whites, and damn sure not
in the situations you portray them, acting like everything is normal.
Why do we have to see them on every commercial? They're only like 12%
of the population!
No wonder I watch very little TV anymore. This is getting really old.
And don't get me started on movies.
