I so agree. I have been wondering and waiting for the day they had a Black Man as the Bachelor. Not like there are aren't rich, successful and handsome guys who fit the bill, or a lack of women who desire them. OTOH, if you're on that show, everyone and everything is magnified. I think they just think M/S America isn't ready to see A Black Man have a plethora of BW/ WW/AW/HW fawn and fight over him...and then depending on who he chooses each week, I'd imagine there would be racial overtones playing out on the blogosphere, rather than romantic one.
As apposed to what, babe? Maintstream shows hardly cut them a break. The Bachelor isn't really reality TV like those other trash shows anyway - the show is so luxuriously orchestrated, makes you famous(not infamous), and people get paid good.
I don't have a solution, but I'd rather see black actors on tv instead of real life morons on tv. I've never watched the bachelor, but what about those other reality shows like Flav's show and Ray J's show? All those shows take place in mansions and try to portray the high class vibe. The only difference I see is that the Bachelor probably isn't cast with hoodrats and the cast doesn't get shit on as much by the viewers.
Yeah. Flav really started the nasty business of trash love TV. Agree with you. The Bachelor is on quality par with Dancing With The Stars. All out huge production. He's usually all 3: educated/Rich-successful/handsome. Chicks are usually much higher grade. Still, an opportunity to represent, highlight and elevate the BM to romance icon status is always a good thing, I think. There's lots of BM out there like his kind who are underexposed in the media.
LOL, gotdayum, upon seeing these two kneegrows, the producer was all like ah, well, they should've expected it, tbf
Ref, just realized there is a thread on this already...as a mod, can you merge this one (your thread) into it?? http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21305
So what do they think will happen if their lawsuit is successful other than a few tokens being thrown in the mix every season. I dont understand the need for forced validation from white folks. We're not talkin about a serious matter like medical care, employment or career growth. Its an opinion based contest. Didnt we figure out the solution when our own publications were created over 60 years ago. Ebony, Jet, etc... I say start your own Bachelor show. Keep it classy and include different ethnic groups.
as in the other thread about this and the first black james bond...stop begging and make your own black version (for the lack of a better phrase)
We had a black bachelor show...two to be exact...with Chad "Ochocinco" and Flava Flav....and they both fucking sucked ass.
Yeah, one is a seen as a sellout while being a part of one of hip-hop's most respected groups and the other is....Brandy's brother....:smt081
the bachelor has white hoochies as compared to those other shows that have black/asian/latino/white hoochies. they are all a hot mess.
Beat me to it... Man how can they demand white folks to do better yet turn a blind eye to Flava of Love and For the Love of Ray Jay?...its time to stop beggin white folks for shit we should be doing ourselves. Max I co-sign what you said like a muthafugah.
There is an article on CNN about black dating shows in general and I think its complete BS. The only thing I could express wrong is the quality of black based dating shows. Ocho Cinco and Flava Flav (the former being a tad better) were kind of low grade if you ask me. The only really cool black reality dating show I actually liked was 'For the Love of Ray J', just because it was very believable. You can ask any woman about Flava Flav and they will say fuck no, ask any woman about Ray J and they say fuck yes haha. In my opinion, the bachelor is a dumb show to begin with and its just reality TV- which means its as real as professional wrestling lol.
for once im in agreement that boy went to Japan and got smart on a mothafucka basically LMAO fucking real shit
this really angers me. the Bachelor is racist if they dont cast a black bachelor. clearly they dont think america is ready to see an educated, well dressed handsome and successful black man get chased by gorgeous CLASSY WW, HW, BW and AW. people saying ochocinco and flav and ray j's shows failed. well of course they did. look at the low class hoochie's they put on there. BW who belong in rap videos, wiggers, and hispanic and asian fame wh0r3s. at least the women on the bachelor are the type you can bring home to mom. are many of them fame hungry? of course. but no woman is perfect all im saying is within the silly reality tv/dating show world, the least you can ask for is women who LOOK respectable. the WW i see on the bachelor look exactly like the WW i see walking around wall street. sexy classy fine WW. not wigger trash. the black men suing the bachelor want a shot at THOSE women. besides, the VH1 shows only target rich famous men like ochocinco, flav, and ray j. the bachelor gives the non famous guy a shot.
