Black Women:

Embarrassing

Us By Us…

by Stella Foster

               I HAPPEN TO CATCH AN EPISODE OF THE “BASKETBALL WIVES” that aired on Sept. 30, 2019 on the VH-1 cable channel.    Now, I am happy for Shaunie O”Neal, Shaq’s ex-wife, mother of his wonderful children and the executive producer of this longtime popular TV series. And trust me, I am not hating! She has carved out a niche with her reality show, as well as now venturing into the business of selling cannabis, which she is most proud of because even though I know she got a yacht load of money from her lucrative divorce, she says, “she still wants to make her own multi-millions,” which is admirable.

              SORRY TO SAY, THAT AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE IS, HER reality show featuring allegedly sophisticated, classy and smart women, they all are a total embarrassment to African-American women everywhere.  I think this show has been successful because  of these so-called divas, who are label-oriented, weave wearing, fake breast wearing, fake nail wearing sistas who constantly are cursing at each other, fighting, throwing glasses, turning over tables and using the word BITCH LIKE THEIR MOTHERS actually gave them that name. I understand the lure of being on TV, but I do not understand the hate that they heap upon one another…whether fake or not!  And, it seems like young women and teens find these uncivilized reality cat fights cool, intriguing and entertaining, especially to children in the economically depressed minority neighborhoods.  These shows cannot be uplifting…and only relays the negative message  to impressionable girls that it is OK to mistreat each other and fight!

              NOW, UNDERSTAND, MOST OF THESE cast members have children, who have to go to school and be among their friends.  Do they ever think about how SOCIAL MEDIA Is a Monster filled with mean-spirited and vile racist people, who just stand around with their mouths gaped open witnessing MONKEYETTAS fighting and punching each other in public places and in different countries?   If you are offended by that word, too bad, because I am sure what white folks are thinking is far worse!  This series along with Love & Hip Hop, which has the now wealthy Mona Scott Young at its helm, is another disgraceful reality series.  These heifers squat down twerking and spew the most vulgar dialogue filled with expletives and the mofo curse word is really starting to creep into the scripts. 

      THESE BLACK WOMEN do not deserve name recognition, and that is why I am not naming these classless females, with unbelievable filthy mouths.  They fight and kick at each other and call each other whores while sporting their expensive red bottom Louboutin shoes, which I am sure the white man that owns that label is somewhere on his yacht enjoying pocketing their money.   He’s probably talking about how ignorant those women are…and why white folks will never really like or embrace us…but have to tolerate us as a people and a source of serious income!

      AND THESE BLACK REALITY SHOWS REALLY DRAG US DOWN  AS A RACE OF PEOPLE ,,,PARTICULARLY for our young boys in the hood, who watch these women perform  in such an unladylike manner that they refer to young girls as bitches and hoes. They certainly are not role models.  Those cast members think class means showing their entire ass in skimpy outfits not fit for PTA school meetings, which makes other communities show continued disrespect and say the hell with reparations,!

        YOU SEE, IT MAY not be politically correct for me to write about this, but I do not care if you are getting insulted.  IN WHITE AMERICA, black women do not have the luxury of acting crazy like some of the Caucasian women on Bravo.  You see, a white woman behaving badly  still can wind up marrying a rich man…black or white.  She does not have to have a degree…not even a GED…because. Ms. ANNE IS thought of as the desired fruit.    So, while these distasteful women are clowning, twerking and delivering rapid fire monologues full of curse words, I wonder just how this really plays out in the minds of  other cultures?  I imagine they are made fun of with disdain and their behavior reflects badly on the majority of decent hardworking moral and God-fearing women trying their best to get respect in this unforgiving world.

      My Message to them…YOU DAMES NEED TO TAKE A LOOK  IN THE MIRROR in your full makeup and ask yourselves are you doing a disservice not only to yourselves, but to your own people? Yes, ask yourselves that question when you sit down and watch those episodes that make it hard for the MeToo movement!  Just think about it….most of you ladies have made a lot of money and have started businesses so you can afford to tone it down and stop EMBARRASSING YOUR PEOPLE! 

        QUITE FRANKLY, even Lil Kim’s  new VH-1 series “Girls Cruise” exhibited more class  with singers Mya and TLC’s Chilli among the cast onboard!   Hey, I love seeing black folks get their coins …but not by bringing shame to your own beautiful people!  Remember: We ARE DESCENDANTS. OF African Kings and Queens…a proud people!  Even in the hood!😃🤧♥️.  Yeah, I said it….Stella in the City!
