MTV has so called reality shows but they only have shows for one race. If the show does have African American's on it, we are telling jokes or singing and dancing, looking like fools. The only show for African Americans is Run's House, and that is still based around a Rapper. Is that all Black's are good for is Rapping and telling jokes?

That's most of television. Blacks are a minority along with Latins, and Asians . What you see on MTV and every other network is just a reflection of that. That's why if you want something done you have to do it yourself which is where BET came from.

I always thought MTV was really black....most of the music videos they show are rap and black oriented music (but really they don't show many videos anymore..it's mostly reality TV shows like you said). I can't stand shows like Laguna Beach, The Hills and Next. But there are shows such as Runs House, Pimp My Ride, Nick Cannon's Wild N Out, now there's something called Trick My Truck, etc. Shows like Parental Control and Next have their share of black people on. The Video Music Awards are almost all black now. If MTV's not black enough, then I don't know what is! And no, blacks are not just good for rapping and telling jokes, but it's MTV....isn't that what they're supposed to be doing?

It does seem like all the reality shows have 5 white people and one black person and one gay guy, they try and be all PC.

Because they likely do demographic studies to guide them to what the racial mix is for the "average american"- which would be more like Kansas, or Minnesota, than Harlem or Brooklyn.

Or if they are on the Real World/Road Rules they have to be gay or tettering on the verge!

What. All Mtv does now is cater to the "hip-hop" culture. Bad, videos, bad music, and people who can't speak. What else do you want?
