Well, it isn't Quite "Flavor of Love": "The Art of Golddigging"
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 7:39PM Gina, The Blogmother
NO seriously, I know I have a LOT of affluent well- connected readers. Gimme a reality show. No, for real. Because clearly anybody and their grandmama that wants to degrade and dehumanize women of any race can get a reality show. I want to produce a reality show too! Again, the devillishment that is YouTube features yet another "reality" television show where the entertainment industry goes out and corrals the most morally bankrupt, deluded, tawdry women they can find and puts them on display to reinforce prevalent negative stereotypes.
Haven't we beaten the whole "Gold Diggger' storyline into the ground? Show me a reality show about Black women in a race around the world or something. A Black women's geography Bee. Black women in a sweet potato pie competition. Something. ANYTHING! Other than yet another display of women with no self esteem or self worth willing to prostitute themselves out to the first camera that pays attention to them. There is nothing REAL about Reality TV

Actually. The show wasn't that bad. I had to do a post on it for a blog job I'm in the running for.
In the realm of reality tv..it wasn't bad. Yeah the chicks are self proclaimed goldiggers but they may actually be better off than what they started by the show ends.
This is about classing them up. Changing them form their gutter ways and maing them more presentable to...well..get the rich guy.
Eh. Not that big a deal and hell of a lot better than Flavor of Love.
Yes, I agree, and I even lived some things myself.
What????

wow. I made it to 1:03 and then I was done....
wtf.
Thank god for this post! The only time you see affluent African Americans, especially women are on re-runs of the Cosby Show, A Different World, Fresh Prince, etc. I know they have an upcoming season of the show called the The Real Housewives of Atlanta but why do they limit themselves to the wives of athletes? I mean I know that is Chocolate City, they can find some lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, etc.
