Hearing Power 105.1
Yeah once again Egypt and Ashy Larry were good to me, we had fun and we laughed. For 3 hours, the 7AM to 10AM block, 2 hours longer than expected. We had so much fun we forgot the time! Larry was held up because he was locked up, and came in like a vengeance, angry that we wouldn't answer his collect calls and that I was asking for a carton of cigarettes. We spoke about how we were all surprised by the fact that this weeks show was a recap of all that has happened since episode 1, and that we were really looking forward to finding out who won Flav's heart this season. Then the preverbal came along.
A DJ's greatest AM glory. Essence Magazine, with an editorial article titled "Slave to the Clock". In short, it was the same old story, how the show degrades black women and insults everyone involved. How Flav uses language that doesn't even exist in the english language, and how these abuses perpetuate the African American male/female relationship stereotype. So they asked me, of course because I was there, and this is continuation of my answer. No to slight in the least way the writer's concerns or comments, but really to ad, that's entertainment. Are the Osborne's any more or less guilty for perpetuating a negative British family stereotype? How does the Bachelor fair against these same types of issues? And Fear Factor, with it's sole focus to play into an individuals greatest fears, promoting the internal emotional terrors of each contestant for one common goal, to win money.
If you don't like the show then don't watch it. And if the women, who like myself chose to participate in this show, are interested in placing their sexuality on front street for everyone to see, I do believe it's their choice. The reality is that we do occasionally fight over our men, crazy things happen, and other jealous women do put salt in our game. The reality is that we do eventually find out our lovers are either gay or bisexual, or they have jobs that are not acceptable to our ourselves or our friends and families. This show does not hide the fact that a man would be happy to have more than one woman interested in him. And in turn, the Bachelorette does not hide the fact that a woman would be happy having more than one man interested in her. We've all messed with more than on person at a time, that is what it's all about right? Trying to find out what your likes and dislikes arebefore you settle down. Gone With the Wind perpetuated the existence of non-monogamous relationships when Scarlet O'Hara had her Coming Out Ball and a list of male suitors. And I don't believe there's a woman out there that has never experienced relationship sabotage from outside influences. So how less real is Flav's reality TV show? Or does it just hit so close to home that some of us have to question the ethics of a man for finding an entertaining way to present it to the world?
But not everybody there participating is a "Booty Shaker", "Video Hoe", or "Adult Dancer". I surely did not fit into any of those categories. I'm to big for ay or those gigs. My realness that everyone loves so much lies in the fact that I was not trying to be anybody or anything but myself. Just a girl from around the way, Chill City, across the river Hudson. People were hating on me on all the blogs right after they aired the episode where I said " I love my ghetto". People, besides those who know me, are always asking how I know what I know but was on the show. The fact is, I like it here because the people are real. They know what they know and they are not trying to be anything else but themselves. They gotta go to work every day, pay their bills, take care of the lone non-achiever in their family, and try and take a trip once a year. And still they find time to say hello to me as soon as I step out on the street, because we are not closed up in our own little worlds trying to make people think we are what we're not. And me, my motto is, how can you be this close to New York, the multicultural capital of the country, and not get in touch with all the races of people here? What's real? My need to feed my mind and hang out with everyone everywhere and not get caught up with what society deems appropriate. That's why I answered the casting call in the first place. Your man Flav represented to me, the acceptable need to deviate from the norm, to break barriers and share his eccentricities to anyone willing to listen! I like that in a man, to boldly go where no man has gone before. I'm doing it right now, this week, by attending the premier event for Russian Film Week in New York 2006 on Friday, bein run by my man Aleksei Panin, and will definitely be catchin some Russian films around the city. It's New York and it's there for me to see so I'm gonna go and see it. And that's my point, everyone is always a lot deeper than what you see, and even if some of those girls are a part of the top 3 hated professions listed above, somebody has to do it, otherwise Jay-Z, T.I., Naz and Byonce wouldn't have any back-up dancers for their videos!
Peace
Like Dat

we as a people sometimes don't know the origin of some words like ghetto,and feel bad about the use of that word , but one origin is Italian, also Jewish people were required to live in a part of the city call the ghette in the old times.most dictionaries will give you more info on this word

I don't know why everyone was acting like they were surprised that this past Sunday's show was full of recaps. They clearly said it would be last Sunday. Yet, I did enjoy it yesterday.

Like Dat--I am so glad u posted this. I receive flack from many people because I enjoy Flavor of Love 2. They talk about how demeaning it is to women, etc., etc. My feeling is that people always seem to over-analyze things to the point of removing the fun from them. I see the show as entertainment, period. I have a very demanding job where people are always asking my advice, and I feel that I carry the world's problems on my shoulders. When I come home, I watch TV to be entertained, and Flavor of Love 2 is the most entertaining show I've seen in a long time. I am not interested in over-analyzing it, finding the political significance of it, or anything. I just want to watch good entertainment, and Flavor of Love 2 was every bit of that for me, and then some. Like you, I think the girls on that show were fully aware of what they were getting themselves into, intelligent and enterprising, making the most of the opportunity presented to them. Thanks, again, for your post. Like always, you are real, Just Like Dat.

Wow you seem like a really cool person. I just moved into the projects on my own with my daughter. I took a step down from where I was living with my parents, but I dont plan on saying here forever... I hate the stereotypes that people have about some of the girls in the house but you always have haters though... but you were right when you said that if you ont like it dont watch it...
