At first I thought that they were cool and funny but Cryme Tyme went a little too far. Why is Vince making them do this? Blacks aren't Ghetto. Eddie Gurrerro Lied, Cheated, and Stole but they didn't talk about him. Cena is cool though. K-Fed need to go some where else with that $hit he be doing. At first I was happy to see more black getting money. I was thinking about being in the WWE one day but now I don't think I'd want to be as long as Vince is around. Shelton Benjamin is cool and wouldn't do that. He said on BET(Rap City) that he wouldn't do anything like that. I respect him for that. At least they let Shelton say something about it. Cryme Tyme is kind of embrassing to me, what about you?

I think the stealing from people goes a little to far sometimes but other than that their actions are funny a lot of black people may talk and dress like Cryme Tyme but they do not act like Cryme Tyme. I think when Shad Gaspard Kicks People in the Face is funny but to me they still have not showed their potential as a wrestler.

I know you asked this to black fans, but I have to answer. The gimmick of "Cryme Tyme" is reprehensible. It portrays blacks in a negative light. I have a feeling it will be similar to the previous story line of Muhammed Hassan. Starts off simple enough, but then they go too far, where they are told if they are aired on a certain network the show will not be aired.
I know the Cryme Tyme thing isn't on the same atrocity level of Muhammed Hassan. But, it is still politically incorrect and will have to be dropped.

Remember the "Nation of Domination"??? Vince McMahon apparenly does. You know how the writers up in Titan Towers like to recycle bad ideas - and WWE/WWF have always loved Black racial stereotypes

The story lines like to play upon Stereotypes. That's actually not cool. That's making race relations worse because unfortunately a lot of people believe everything they hear and see on t.v.

I used to watch the WWE when it had that different name. I basically just watched it for the Divas. But I think that there is a lot of fake drama and rivalry in it, and I don't watch it as most. Though I guess im considered black but I am mixed with white and Native American. K-Fed is an a**, and I don't really care about him. I hate the stereotypical person who thinks that blacks are ghetto, and gangsta. Im black, but I don't act anything like that. I guess its cause im kinda mixed, but I still don't like it.

I agree with you. They seem to always make black people look bad. If I would become a wrestler I would be heading to TNA.
