You said you signed a petition against the Baby Mama show because it portrayed blacks in a negative light, so I asked if you were petitioning against 48 hours. do you recall that now? Did you like Wired?
Maybe you don't relate to how these people behave, but others do. Let it all hang out.
First of all,
1) I've never watched The Wire. I've heard of it, but I've never watched it.
2) I didn't know there was a petition out on 48 hours.
3) Why should I let anything hang out?
And one more thing. Why are you comparing All My Babies Mamas to 48 Hours? What is your point?

Are you intentionally being obtuse? Nevermind, the point has gotten lost in all this explaining you are making me do.
Interestingly enough, college educated moms, of all races, rarely have kids out of wedlock.....
Quote:
One group still largely resists the trend: college graduates, who overwhelmingly marry before having children. That is turning family structure into a new class divide, with the economic and social rewards of marriage increasingly reserved for people with the most education.
So as long as the number of middle class people keeps decreasing, and membership in the middle class is tenuous, then out of wedlock births will likely keep going up.
And lest I remind you......college graduation rates of black women especially keeps increasing: Fast Facts
Out of wedlock births are largely a class problem. Not a race problem.
70% of black children are born into wedlock. Black women abort their children at 5 times the rates of other races. I'm pretty sure that black people are responsible for "reinforcing stereotypes about Black men and women..." Black culture needs NO HELP from the rest of us in drawing up the narrative.
But Yet They do! The media constantly enforces negative black sterotypes and simultaneously ignoring the postive accomplishments. Btw wher in the hell do you get the stat of 70% anyway?
When Oprah Winfrey and former Nickelodeon executive Geraldine Laybourne launched the Oxygen cable network in 2000, "the company [aspired] to be a strong advocate for women." But since its purchase by NBC Universal in 2007, Oxygen has steadily increased its stable of cheaply-produced reality television programming that exploits women, children and now Shawty Lo's "unconventional" family.
We already know that only a narrow range of Black characters or personalities ever makes it onto America's television screens. When combined with the overwhelmingly negative representations of Black Americans we see on the daily news, shows like All My Babies' Mamas reinforce ugly stereotypes about Black men and women — that we're hypersexual, combative and unfit to parent our children. In addition to reducing self-esteem, a number of studies confirm that these distorted portrayals can lead non-Black audiences to hold onto problematic perceptions of Black folks that have dangerous real-world consequences.
A special congratulations is in order to black women. Our collective response showed that we can alter what is projected, by coming together to advocate against these destructive images that are constantly broadcasted all over the world.
Says a lot about Black women that they would be threatened by a crappy reality tv show on a low rated network.
What makes you think that it was all women? Blacks who have generations of bais media coverage against them are all offended by this show, but I expect that you again, would be clueless about this as well

I don't think he's clueless. I think he just doesn't care, or that he's being very insensitive and hateful.
The races aren't equal. Separatist believe in separatism,supremacist believe the white race is supreme to others,nationalists just believe in racial nationalism....a since of pride....there are tons of different nationalist parties all over Europe in power..Italian,Swedish,Turkish etc etc..those aren't in power just proves my point nationalist parties are everywhere there is even a nationalist party in the US.
"white" is not a nationality.
