Do you think reality T.V. is harmful to the image of Black women?

Question

So far there have been several "bitchy black women" on reality T.v shows. These are just a few:Omarosa(The Apperentice), Coral(Real World:Back to New York), Camelle(America's Next Top Model 2), Eva Pigford(America's Next Top Model 3), Jade(America's Next Top Model 6), Tiffany aka New York(Flavor of Love) and Peaches(College Hill 2). Do the actions and words of these women make the viewers think that all Black women are truly like this?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about this because some of these girls set some good examples and some set some bad examples....the one thing i can say is that they speak up for the black race which is a good thing(some of them).....they do tend to make us look like we angry at the world and pissed off all day,so they are presenting us to the world as a bitchy race and just ghetto.....

Answer 2

It relies upon... if the only journey that a new child has with a women of coloration is on television, and all of those women are bitchy, what makes her or him think of that different black women are not like that. This stereotype gets worse in rural areas the place there are few if any minorities and a good style of prejudice. besides the undeniable fact that, i wish that maximum folk be responsive to that there are various bitchy black women, yet there additionally are a good style of very candy black women and bitchy white women. There additionally are a good style of super women like Tyra Banks, Oprah, and the ladies from My spouse and little ones who are not Omarosas.

Answer 3

Fortunately, more people know who Oprah and Condoleeza Rice are than any of those women.

Unfortunately, the only black women we regularly see on TV are Oprah and Condoleeza.

(Nothing against O & C. I meant it's sad that there are only two Black women on tv who aren't hos in a rap video or angry black women on reality shows.)
