: MediaTakeOut.com got its hands on a video of the casting of Plies' new reality show - entitled Bust It Baby (and yeah, it means just what you think). Anyway, we have no idea whether this Reality Show is ever going to come off, but we're DEFINITELY INTERESTED!!!
Check out this train wreck here:
Everytime I see *** like this on T.V, I have to repeat to myself, these women aren't representing me, they are only representing themselves, these women aren't representing me, they are only representing themselves... it's ridiculous. Seriously people, if you care how the black community turns out, they I wouldn't be watching this!
plies is definitely worth it!! i saw him in concert and he is a freak!! i wish i could do it!!

Where did those chicks come from.I did not see one that was cute yuck!That show is going to be a disaster area gotta blame this sh*it on Flav with his burnt *** looking ***.As for Plies,he is *** ugly and so are those nasty hoes especially that one with the white skirt.Why would she shoe her deflated *** to anyone!!!SMH
oh yea great just what we need, another show that degrades and demeans black people. it aint gon never end. those girls are waaaayyyyy worst then the flavor of luve girls. the girls on fol are like nuns compared to those girls.ok im still not sure of what a "bust it baby", is but after seeing that....i dont think i care to know anymore.
that was a *** shame. im so glad im blessed and my mom raised me right. black women must know that we are far more than just our bodies. and we are far more than what any *** rapper wanna call us. see this is when i like white people. do you see Kenny Chesney calling his women "*** and HOES" in the song?no,its called respect.RESPECT the the people who brought you into this world.
I CANT STAND GHETTO HOOD RATS BUT I LOVE HIS SOUTHERN ACCENT... I WONT BE WATCHING THE SHOW... I DONT EVEN WATCH FLAVA OF LOVE I CANT STAND WHEN WE AS BLACK PEOPLE CANT FIND SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUT DEGRADING OUR SELVES... WTF IS A BUST IT BABY ANYWAY I CANT GET WITH THAT
GOD BLESS THESE CHILDREN FOR THEY NEED YOU TODAY AND 2MRW ALSO... AMEN
OH YEAH AND YES U CAN BE FROM THE HOOD AND NOT BE OF THE HOOD... ALL THAT P.O.M.E {PRODUCT OF MY ENVIRONMENT} SH!T IS B.S...
WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER!!!!!!!
I'm slow- what the hell is a 'Bust It Baby??' 2nd, I agree w/ dcbhoops: this is buffonish and sad. Why the hell us blacks have to get in the camera and make a fool of ourselves? And women, c'mon, stop acting like ***!!!!!! DAMNN This is exactly why I do NOT watch television anymore unless it is the news.
i wasnt going to comment bc i want to say these hoes CANT be serious but unfortunately, they are. i mean plies? are you kidding me? these ignorant *** were like "i love plies! im his biggest fan!" that *** been on the scene for like 5 minutes. its disgustingly amazing what people will do to be on television. these nasty *** were basically saying they were willing to be a jump off for plies. who does that ish? one chick was like "if i do it for all the eveyday regular dudes from around the way, i *** sure woudl do it for plies". its *** shame. plies *** want a classless nasty hoe.i think i got an STD from just watching that ish! if plies value himself and his future, he woudnt even breath the same air as those tramps
and dont get me wrong i kind of like plies and think he kind of cute, in the dark, on a late ***, with his mouth closed but these chicks were just plain busted, nasty, funky. not a decent once in the whole bunch. why would you glorify how disease prone you are?! the sad part about it is BET will pick this mess up and everybody's going to watch it and support this mess.
That's a *** shame. I'm surprised my stepsister aint on there though because she's just as bad as the rest of these women. I do believe these few black women can degrade our whole race because its on tv and to the people that have never met one, they gone believe all that they see on tv. Even the ones that have met one of us, they still automatically assume what they see in the public. They can't have this on tv.
Unfortunately these hoes don't give a ***. They're all probably going home, calling some dumbazz nicca and *** them from the excitement. Who cares these hoes gone have AIDS in a couple weeks anyway. Black People, you better elevate yourselves. Your selfworth is much more than a skinny lil nicca with gold teeth. It's not hating when it's a fact, these young ignorant mofos don't do *** for the black community.
This coon as nicca is only selling his people to the mainstream. More sellout ignorant azz niccas to add to the Moteasuh List.
Plies and these dumb beyaches need to read some MLK, Malcome, WEB Du Bois. Oh yeah, Nicca's don't read!
This is nothing more than a 21st century minstrel show. (if you don't know, look it up)
Black women have to realize that until they respect themselves, no one else will respect them.
And I know the dumb-*** hood rats in the video don't represent all, but they do denegrate all.
Real talk from the Motor City.
I don't have to say anything because everyone here has pretty much said it.
LOL @ chocolatebee, PrettyBoi, AztecaNegra & Tina42082.
@ phatiey...I am with you on that one because I can definitely relate. That P.O.M.E is BS. I'm from that type of environment but if you see or spoke to me you would never know trust that...
***- I LIKE PLIES. I LIKE HIS MUSIC, AND HIS ACCENT. BELIEVE IT OR NOT HE SPEAKS VERY WELL. TO HEAR HIM SPEAK WOULD REALLY MAKE YOU WONDER. HE WENT TO COLLEGE AND EVERYTHING ( I DON'T THINK HE FINISHED THOUGH) HOWEVER- WTF???? WHY, WHY, WHY? NO I MUST ADMIT- THIS IS NOT A SET BACK TO ME AS A BLACK WOMAN. DEGRADATION DOESN'T WORK UNLESS YOU PARTICIPATE LADIES. IT CASTS A BAD SHADOW, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS OUTRUN A SHADOW THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU.
TO ALL THAT ASKED- A BUST IT BABY IS A FEMALE THAT WILL "BUST IT OPEN", NO QUESTIONS ASKED- OR AT LEAST THATS HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME WHEN I ASKED A DUDE.
@AztecaNegra- NOTHING COULD BE MORE DISGRACEFUL THAN ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET WITH FLAV BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL. AT LEAST PLIES HAS A LITTLE BIT OF SWAG ( WELL, MORE THAN FLAV ANYWAY ).
IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A HOT, FUNKY, WRETCHED MESS THOUGH. WOMEN HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES. THERE'S NO POINT IN TRYING TO TELL A GROWN HOE NOTHING. THEY ARE AT THE POINT OF *** THAT THERE IS NO RETURN FROM!
LMAO!!! FIRST of all...PLIES would NOT pick ANY of these busted azz chics, not even for a video. Yea, he has some degrading lyrics, but THESE chics??? No, not at all. He's probably ROLLIN watchin this. No rapper is gonna publicly be with an embarassment like that. He wouldn't pick none of the chics they showed on this video. None of em. He might let them "taste" something on the low, but that's as far as it would go. And the ones they showed are dumb enough to do it too. Then get sent home with like $20. LMAO!!!! So they the dumb ones, not Plies....

PLIES IS NOT DEGRADING WOMAN THEY DOING IT TO THEMSELVES! SOME IF THESE WOMEN IS PROBABLY DECENT THEY JUST TRYNA BE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT BIZ BUT ALL THESE CHICKS TRYNA BE MODELS AND ACTRESSES ITS OTHER SH*T YOU CAN DO!
WOMEN OF EVERY RACE DO ANYTHING FOR SOME LIMELIGHT LOOK AT TELIA TEQUILLA GIRLS GONE WILD FLAVOR OF LOVE ETC
It's really a shame that these women overexpose themselves. It's nasty and I don't think I will watch the show. For some of you guy's info, Plies is that rapper that rapped with T-Pain called *** but that's the only song that's really popular but IDK. But anyways some of the women were pulling their pants down and showing their butts which is down right whorish. Those girls need help and they do not have anything better to do then to overexpose themselves. The show just seem so ghetto so I won't be watching it. It's sad in Charlie Murphy's voice: We got to do better!
@GAGYRL27
yeah i wouldn't get with flav if a gun wasn't pointed at my head so that may be true, but i have NO IDEA who Plies is so i can't talk about his swag....
another question...why does he think p.u.ss.y should smell like water and not like p.u.ss.y? this man has messed up my whole day w/ this ish..i'm confused! lol
i dont think i can take much more of this obesseion with ignorant black dating sh0ws! instead of putting a moretorium/ban on the *** w0rd...they sh0uld put an IMMEDIATE ST0P t0 these w0men and men wh0 p0rtray themselves like this 0n such sh0ws designed f0r the s0ul pup0rse 0f perpetuating the idea that black pe0ple are just idi0tic and lack the sense g0d gave them....."they are not a representati0n 0f me but 0f themselves"....my m0ntra
@Antidumb..I agree with you sis, however the white girls on Roc of Love are worse!!
And their not making me look bad at all b/c what others do with their lives does not reflect on me at all.
But those grown *** women should be ashamed of themselves!! Half of them looks like have sexually transmitted diseases.
S.T.O.P FRONTIN YOU WILL BE WATCHING IT AND YOU KNOW YOU WILL TRYNA ACT LIKE YOU ABOVE WATCHING THIS JUST THINK....HOW WILL YOU BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON THIS ***.. IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS *** ALL YOUR HOMEGIRLS GONNA BE WATCHING IT AND TALKING ABOUT IT AND ARE WE SUPPOSSED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE NOT IN THE KNOW!! KEEP IT REAL IF NOT WITH US WITH YOURSELF !!!
@AztecaNegra- I KNOW THAT'S REAL! MY HUSBAND TURNED ME ON TO PLIES LIKE 2 1/2 YEARS AGO WHEN HIS MUSIC WAS MOSTLY UNDERGROUND. I BELIEVE A LOT OF WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED TO HIS SWAG ( VOICE, THE WAY HE TALKS, THE THINGS HE SAYS). AS FAR AS *** SMELLING LIKE WATER- I JUST HAVE TO IMAGINE THAT HE JUST WANTS A REALLY CLEAN CHICK. MY GRANNY INSTILLED CLEANLINESS IN ALL HER GIRLS AND HER FAVORITE THING TO SAY IS " IF YOU CAN SMELL YOU- HE CAN TOO!", SO I GUESS HE JUST WANTS A WOMAN TO TAKE HEED AND KEEP IT CLEAN!!!!!
@JUICYLIPS- DON'T PUT IT ON THE GIRLS IN THE SOUTH. LOL. I AM FROM THE SOUTH AND SO ARE ALL OF MY PEOPLE AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A *** OF COUSINS ( I MEAN SECOND AND THIRD COUSINS), WHO WOULD BE DOWN WITH THAT BS, IF ANY OF THE REST OF US THOUGHT TO HARD ABOUT IT, PLEASE BELIEVE MY GRANNY WOULD HAVE US ON THE MOURNING BENCH ( YA'LL DON'T KNOW NOTHIN BOUT THAT ) BEFORE YOU COULD SAY AMEN!!! LOL HOWEVER I DO HAVE A FEW HOMEGIRLS FROM UP NORTH AND I CAN'T SPEAK ON SOME OF THE *** THEY DO WITHOUT REPENTING IMMEDIATELY AND IT'S NOT EVEN MY SIN! THERE ARE HOES IN ALLLLL AREA CODES BABY!
who the f*ck is Plies anyway? I have never heard of him..maybe Im getting old.. did he have one hit or something? those 'bama *** nasty *** chicks are beyond grimey..those chicks remind me of that ashy *** stripper with the stretch marks that MTO showed the other day..just gross..no self respect, no intelligence, no sense..this is what women have stooped to..its so *** sad
Woooowwww!!!!
I'm at a loss for words. This is exactly what we've been talking about. This is why men are not quick to jump up and marry Black women. WE are increasingly becoming jokes to everyone! These "women" will be nothing more than baby-mammas. Your body and *** gets old, especially when anyone and everyone can get it.
Ever seen a 40-ish or 50-is or even 60-ish woman that acts like this? I have. And it is so sad. No one wants her. No one respects her. Everyone knows who she is and what she's about. And she was so busy opening everything on her body, she forgot to educate herself and take care of herself.
Where's our self esteem??? That ain't bad. That's stupid. Wake up!
And some of yall in here talkin' about "Plies is worth it". I don't know who Plies is but I can bet money on what he thinks you're worth.
Men like a challenge, no matter what they say. They need competition. That's why they like sports, video games, business, etc. They become BORED with you when you get EASY and move on to something more challenging.
That's why when they tell you what you want to hear to get you to do what they want you to do, it's called GAME, and that's a stradegy to win it. But they are playing against you, FOOLS! And you loose every time you drop your panties (or open your mouths) before there's any REAL feelings.
***, I need to SCHOOL some of y'all!
The problem with this generation is that we (some, but way too many of us) idolize and respect those who don't even respect themselves, let alone you.
I can talk about this until I'm blue in the face. I'm in my twenties and I'm highly appauled and ashamed.

@ The_Ghost_Of_Benoit
i agree with you 100% you have artist such as COMMON who can't get a play on the radio. i have never really heard any of common songs play any where in the radio.
i guess as long as you're talking about [EXPLETIVE] & ***, how much money you've got, what kind of car you're driving, being arrested, getting ***, being hood, and running from your p.o. you will get as much air play as you like
*SMH*
ANTIDUMB:
I knew you were a man! (I'm inferring). Most Black women don't think like you without having had someone shove it down their throats first.
Even some of my female friends and family, you tell them one thing and that B is the consequence of A, but they don't listen and still do A. But when B happens, wanna complain about, insist that it wasn't THEIR fault, and CONTINUE TO DO A. I don't get it.
You're absolutely right. The actions of a few in the public eye dictates how the world reacts to us. I'm a young woman and men almost always initially address me as if I'm stupid and can't read between the lines. Men on the street and in the office. Whether I'm dressed up or dressed down, in a suit or in jeans.
I used to get upset and offended because I felt they were insulting my intelligence, but now I realize why. This is why I never post pictures and I prefer to do business deals over the phone or via e-mail and letter. Because when a person finally sees me, they're often shocked. Why? Because I'm pretty, young and Black. Unfortunately, that for many equates to being sexually promiscuous, too focused on appearance and not to be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, some just don't get it - many probably never will.
THE $$$$$'S CALLIN'. THE THINGS *** DO FOR 15SEC OF FAME AND A DOLLAR. TRY STEPPING YA GAME UP LADIES. THEY ALL LOOK BUSTED! HAVE A LITTLE SELF RESPECT. AND WOMEN WONDER WHY GUYS CALL THEM *** AN HOES. THEY ONLY CALL IT LIKE THEY SEE IT. IF THAT'S HOW YOU PORTRAY IT DON'T EXPECT MORE IF YOU DOING LESS. SELF RESPECT THEY MUST'VE MISSED THAT LESSON.
If you females don't think for one minute that people can't tell the difference between these females and Oprah Winfrey, you're snorting raw cocaine, the kind that's so potent and deadly, you shiver and die immediately!
First off, Plies is extremely articulate reguardless of what he looks like, for people who've never heard him speak!
They understand this like they understand their own kind, for example the scandelous white girls on The Roc of LOVE show!
These people go to school with classy black girls, and the difference couldn't be clearer!
@ StayPoppin01:
What does him being articulate have to do with anything?
That's like me saying, I'm articulate but I like to dress and act like a skank. As if me being articulate will cancel out my skankness. **But my being a skank would cancel out my being articulate. At that point what I have to say wouldn't even matter.
Same thing for a man. If he degrades me, I don't care if he has 100 Harvard degrees, awards, or all the recognition in the world, he does not deserve my respect.
Antidumb..I totally agree with you Sis/Brother.
However, it is a little too late for White people expect much out of some of Black people that behave like that.
When I walk out of my house every morning to go to work at my Investment Banking Company.I make sure that I carry my self well. The way that conduct myself when I have to interface with White America does not have anything to do with any of those Bafoons that has chosen to stoop to that level to be the center of attention.
Thank God that I am blessed to be who I am and the way that I carry myself. I didn't have anyone to teach me how to carry myself. I did not have anyone to push me to graduate from high school nor college. I chose to do that on my own. So if those black women has chosen to be Ho's then that's them. When White America looks at me, they don't see ghetto, they see a women of color that has class and knows how to interface with them on a daily basis.
I understand where your coming from b/c it is a shame the way those crack heads are actually standing in that line to be Bust It babies.
Black men chooses to be with White, Spanish, Asian women b/c they want to. I have friends who are black that are business owners, Managing Directors, etc. They are good black women. I'm a good black women and I am blessed to be with a man that values me, so I am NOT going to feel sorry for these loosers that wants to catch Aids and die.
Okay, I have to go so I don't need a response.
But FYI, by degrading these Black women publicly, he is also degrading me, as a Black woman.
These figures come out and say "I'm not a role model" "Don't listen to me, do you." But that's not the reality of it. Like it or not, they are role models, people are watching and they do mimic them. WE ALL get the *** end of the stick because of it.
But we're too busy blaming White people and the government for OUR problems, when root of the problem is right in your back yard.
@ Alphaman1906
I LOVE when men get on here and tell it like it is... Sometimes men are as hard to figure out as us women are, so it's nice to have a man shed some light on things. Some things are too embarassing to ask my daddy about... lol
As for this new reality show... it's all bullsh*t. I won't be watching it.
You can't really blame Plies. It's the women that show up degrading themselves. If no one showed up he wouldn't have a show.
Anyways, for everyone who don't know. Plies is a rapper. He's big here in SW FLorida. I'm from Michigan but I really do respect the way that the south support their local artists. I didn't see a lot of that in MI.
wow! lol
Driving 60 miles from Orlando and what not to make a fool of yourself.
As we all know, their gonna place a couple those girls in a house and have them argue over him and etc... knowing that Plies wants none of them, an only doing this show to make a little money. HERE WE GO AGAIN! (NOTHING NEW!)
It's funny how when an African American woman does something degrading on Television, she's degrading her whole race, however when other ethnicity's do something degrading on Television it's the COOL thing to do, OR they ONLY REPRESENTS Themselves and not a whole race. What I'm saying is that no matter what ethnic background your from you will have ghetto, ignorant, dysfunctional people so don't put it off on one race because it's within every race BUT it's only glorified within the African Americans... Hmmmm I wonder if the brainwashing worked????????
Im sure most of these women did not grow up with fathers and are from the projects! they are a disgrace! Its so sad that the world sees black women as trashy baby mamas..this show will just prove there point even more! Dont let this ignorant trash bag n**gga(Plies) disrespect us! just to make a buck. This is way deeper than just looking at hoodrats act a fool. THIS IS OUR IMAGE! BLACKWOMEN= SKANKY PROJECT BABY MAMA. We need this image changed its not fair to us black women who live our lives respectible!

I went out last *** and this the next morning so I didn't see your response.
Why do people get so caught up in the entertainment? I said he was articulate for the people that are always trying to look good in white folks eyes, and were scared he was just another half talking idiot about to "embarrased" the race.
It amazes me that you say "he is a role model" when I know people with kids that are exemplary citizens, at what point does it become the parents responsibility to steer their kids properly.
I don't know about blaming the goverment for our problems, but I do know that job discrimination plays a major role in black men hustling in the streets. Is it right? NO Is it necessary? Some would argue they'll do that before they starve.
All black men know they hire black women over black men to meet their quota. It's a way to say "we hire blacks and women" at the same time and keep black men out of employment.
I been knew this, but I saw an episode of Goodtimes that confirmed it when they hired James, but bumped him to the side and hired Florida instead. They dedicated a whole show on this.
travelagent
I agree with you as far as we play a key role for the state we're in, I've stated anything to oppose that line of thinking.
But if you tell me that whites don't play a key role as well, your sadly mistaken. I don't know what state you live in but I live in the south and it's happening all over again as far as puting black men out of work. They hire illegal Mexicans over bonafied American black citizens.
So now that these men are on the street, and a slightly shady deal comes their way do you think it might be tempting for him to get involed to feed a wife nagging him to find work, and to feed his kids? Is it right? NO. Is it necessary? Some would argue YES. Do I condone it? NO. Am I in that man shoes? NO. Are you? NO. But money looks good to you if you don't have any, and thousands of black men are being replaced by Mexicans as we speak!
So to respond to your statement as far as us blaming whites, yes, it's appropiate to blame them to a high degree.
@Antidumb..If he had KNOWN that was Chris Rock”s Mom she would have been treated differently, she would have immediately became that EXCEPTION.
So your saying its about who has money and who doesn't? I can understand that as well being that I live in Bergen County New Jersey right outside of NYC in which is considered one of the richest counties.
I live in a Condo Building where theres 90% whites and the rest are black proffesionals, such as music executtives, myself, MD's, etc.
They give me the utmost respect when they see me, they do acknowledge me due to the fact that when I pull up to have my doorman unload my shopping bags into a shopping cart, I'm driving a brand new Mercedes Benz, and I make sure that I am posh at all times.
It is so sad that they do acknowledge the black people that looks like they have money or that have money.
When my boyfriend and I go out to dine together, we always get a server rite away but the question to him is always, are you a rapper, football player?? B/c he looks like money and he's with a beautiful women.
So at the end of the nite, its about who has money and who doesn't in most cases.
Now as far as my image at work and the way that I conduct myself. I may have proven them wrong. I left one position in the company to go to another and tell me why I was hired of a blue eyed Blondy, a brunette, a very light skin black women and a black man.
Do you want to know why? It's because I proved myself and I had really great references from the previous position. So that being said, I must have proven them wrong. When they look at me, the see profesionalism and elegance.
And I hate this light skin black thing in Corporate America. I heard more then one light skinned black person say that their accepted becasue their light skinned..*** *** especially if your hair is just as nappy! White people does not give a flying *** about a dman light skinned, its the black people that cares about that. 99% of the black women that are holding down good *** positions in Corporate America are not light skinned so light skinned women please stop thinking that your working as a (RECEPTIONIST) answering my phone lines b/c your light skin. We all are black so please get it rite.
***, I can smell the STDs through my monitor. And any self respecting woman wouldn't touch Plies with a 20 foot pole while encased in a hazmat suite. A co-worker sent me the lyrics to "Get You Wet" and I *** near vomited on my keyboard. That song is vile, profane and vulgar with a capital V.
And I'm torn because while it's true on some levels that the actions another person has no bearing on me as a woman, these stereotypes portrayed by the media have a long reaching impact on how other nationalities see us as African Americans. And while white people aren't faultless(can we say Girls Gone Wild), they aren't trying to overcome a legacy of being depicted as animals. It makes me think that these major syndicates are greenlighting these shows on purpose to dehumanize and degrade us.
Just like the white youth loves buying into our rap artists, white folks love watching us act like coons on TV. You can call me uppity, but I can't take seeing our ignorance on parade anymore.
@Antidumb, you make a very good point but you're putting the carriage before the horse. White people will always look down on us. POINT BLANK PERIOD. And it has nothing to do with how we behave, but everything to do with their need to degrade us in order to justify their past treatment of us.
White people had to justify using us as slaves and in order to do that, that had to make us less than human. They had to convince themselves that we were animals and ignorant in order to ease their conscience. They knew that it was inherently WRONG to enslave another group of people against their will, but instead of abolishing slavery they simply told themselves that we were subhuman. That way Master and Missus could sleep well at ***, because in their minds we were little more than chattel. They did the same thing with the native Americans and they continue to the same with darker hued people around the globe to justify their ongoing destruction of "natural societies" (those that refuse to adhere to the industrialized way of living).
Their racism is an offshoot of their megalomaniac to destroy anything that is not like them. If they were to stop for one minute and recognize the people they've harmed as humans on equal footing, they would not be able to live with themselves and the atrocious acts they committed. So instead, they continue to turn a blind eye and say that the brown people of the worlds are heathens and deserved what they got. Instead of apologizing for their crimes and seeking to fix their wrongs, they just seek other ways to justify their behavior. So it's easy for them to latch on the ignorant minority (because the coons and minstrels are but a small fraction of the black community) of blacks who choose to act stupid and buffonish and use them as a excuse for why they hate minorities. But even if we all woke up tomorrow and decided to get our acts together and be so-called "upstanding members of society", white people would still find a reason to hate us. It's the nature of the beast. We need to do better for ourselves and our communities, not so that we can please an unappeasable race.
@Antidumb.I never said that I disagreed with you. I think that you are a very studious person man or women.
However, I think that the school systems in the tri-state area needs you especially the black students.
Thank God that I went to High in the South for a year then I was transferred back to NYC. I learned alot about my African American Culture when I was there.
It's ashame that the school systems in NYC does not teach African American Children their history. If we as African Americans fight for that for our children here in Bergen County/NYC it will get done instead of fighting towards each other.
Someone like you are so needed, needed as can be as a motivational speaker.
@Nubian_Huntress you have some great points.
And you know what else has been bothering me. Blacks are not celebrating Black History month like were suppose to.
We as Black people need to stand up embrace our culture more and unite instead of constantly fighting towards each other!!!

This one of the reasons I come at you the way I do. Here you go again with this lumping all black men together. How is it that thousands of black men all have aggressive attitudes at the same time towards their boss?
Of course they're not in the media like we are, because we have a violent history with white folks, and they are the guilty party. So they'll report all of our faults to the world and to themselves to justify the discrmination they heep upon us.
When there weren't blacks on TV at all we were getting dogs sicked on us etc. In my opinion guys like Plies make white young America identify with me more. I can actually see a wall disapearing. It might not be the image I want displayed of black men, but it definitely kills the old stereotypes of black men being dumb, lazy, etc. and actually works against a lot of their efforts to spread the "dangerous" stereotype because you look at guys like Flav,and Plies and see there just regular people.
The only reason they hire Mexicans is because it's the new form of slavery and it keeps their "enemy" unemployed. Are yo on the job site with all of these Mexicans? How do you know they are all meek?

You said it first, not to run on emotion and see things for how they should be, but for how they are. There aren't any two Barac Obamma types for every one Flavor Flav, so you have to deal with what is.
I personally don't agree with Flav being my spokesperson, don't get me wrong, but I strongly beleive through Flav's eccentric personality he can kill some sterotypes.
Because beleive it or not, he's not on TV for our pleasure, advertisers don't run there commercials for us to buy their products because they don't feel we have enough money to move the needle in their business anyway.
I just don't beleive people can look at Flav then look at me in a Ralph Lauren suit and not see a difference!
You know it's just a show it's not that serious some of the girls are on here trying to come up that's all what's wrong with that? Everybody has something negitive to say and you don't even know the girls it's just for show.And for who ever made the comment about the girl in the white dress that's my cousin she said herself she hates that video she's far from ugly and for the hatter who left that comment go to her myspace and comment on that www.myspace.com/rholiya and if you still have something negative to say you are just hatting.....
That chick aint ugly she has some serious pics on her myspace.on that video they just got some bad angles cause she has plenty of *** on them pic.Do you lil mama get how you get it just don't turn into Newyork (lol) naw but for real keep that *** all about buissness *** what people say don't get caught up in the negative.
Antidumb
That might be our image, but when you work a job your boss gets to know you pretty well. Whites are not as stupid as they appear, they know whose dangerous and who's not.
The way you talk let's me know you're a woman for sure! Every black man I've ever talked to on this subject agrees with me 100% Whether they're from the suburbs or the hood.
Even the cool white boys know agree with me on this one. Like I stated before this is a way to keep money out of the hands of black men. The more you do that the more unattractive he appears to women of all races includind his own. Beleive me it'll get worse as Mexicans become American citizens and get college degrees.
Then they'll start putting the college educated blacks on the unemployment line! (Especially the men) MARK MY WORDS!
They were forced to hire blacks in the past because of the law, but now as you said they have other options now. The blacks that don't save themselves and start their own business are doomed! REMEMBER YOU HEARD HERE FIRST!
Antidumb
You might think that I say racist things, but in reality I've been observing white men strategies for years. For the most part I've been pretty accurate. Not to many black women beleive at first, because they don't receive the same treatment as we do.
When I go out with a girlfriend or a female relative she's not aware of the difference in how we get treated by whites because for the most part they smile at her and say hi, but that same person a lot of times don't speak to the man she's with or sometimes they roll their eyes at him.
I literally have to pull the woman's coat tail and point these things out and then she becomes keen to what I'm saying. A significant amount White men despise us to the core, usually right under our women's noses.
So the reason I say things like they want to keep us out of work etc. is because I'm an expert at watching their moves.
Agree@Staypoppin. White men and Women have privileges like no other race in America. Thats why other races try so hard to try to be white and the way you become white is by having a prejudice discriminatory attitude towards blacks. It is already in full affect in California especially in southern California. Women like that not only degrade themselves but all black women because the skank black women image is being seen all around the world and more frequently then any other. I can't even say prostitutes just hos. Look at almost all the reality shows its always a crazy attention starved black person on each one. The women are so pathetic and weak they get on television looking for sympathy and acting a fool. The real shame in all of this is that normal hard working black women and men that try to shed all the negative stereotypes are going to continue to find it increasingly harder to be hired or treated with respect. People connect the word Ghetto with black. Black men and women have so many negative stereotypes that Black people have accepted. Who cares about average everyday Joe person but HR managers who are normally non black aren't going to take the time to distinguish.
Until we as black people stop sittin back complaining and come together to make a change, we are allowing this type of thing to happen.
These women wouldn't be allowed to even have this much attention if it weren't for ONE group of people---THE CONSUMERS. We want to sit back and complain about what needs to be done, but don't want to do it ourselves. Actions speak louder than words. Do you think a family of "whites" gonna be watching this ***??? No, they won't. Not compared to the amount of BLACK households that will. When they send those little survey things(?) out that ask you about what you watch on tv, do you think white people gonna check this ***??? No. They won't. We, on the other hand....we find it "funny", or entertaining, not realizing that there are positive images NOT getting ANY support.
I criticize some of our "old folk" too for looking down on our youth, instead of creating a path for them to follow. Most churches do the exact same thing, then wonder why young people don't want to go to church. Like Lyfe Jennings said in that song called "S.E.X.", "mama's giving advice, but she ain't tryna hear that. Not that she was wrong, just her delivery was wack."(cuz she was yelling at the little girl) Lift up your youth without looking down on them, criticizing them.
When it comes to the money, look at what's getting to the top? NEGATIVE IMAGES. Supported by the consumers. As hard as it seems to be able to make a change, it can be done. But it would have to start not only by coming together, taking a stand, you also have to SUPPORT positivity. If we would start putting our money, (including the tv shows we watch), if we start putting our money into positivity, a change WILL come. If the positive gets MORE support than the negative. As IRONIC as it seems, the media is NOT on our side. They find it very HUMOROUS that we portray ourselves like this, but they don't put us on the top, we do! The only way to change that, is by SUPPORTING POSITIVITY.
Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, India Arie, the list goes on! SUPPORT positivity. Hip-hop/R&B is the BIGGEST voice in the black community, but you HAVE to support it. Meaning support the positive hip-hop & R&B artists. Whether you're watching the tv show, buying the cd, or just NOT contributing to positive artists, etc. YOU ARE responsible for the image of our people. If you're not supporting the positive people in our community, you can't say anything about the ones that support the negative ones. Actions speak louder than words. Start supporting your positive black people, ESPECIALLY the young ones. It only takes a few minutes to buy a cd or a click to change the channel. Like I said, hip-hop is the biggest voice, SUPPORT the positive hip-hop/R&B, and a change will come.
I.E. I play Erykah Badu ALL the time, and just two days ago, my neighbor came over, heard it, asked me who it was, and said she wanted the cd, and she's an older lady(not old, but older). Gotta start somewhere....support positivity, stop worrying about the ones that support negativity, and maybe it will have a ripple effect. you never know til ya try. Talking about it ain't changing nothing. The ones that are negative are doing A LOT more than talking about it.
Another example....MTO has an article on the Urban League to have a tv show on fox. 10(ten) comments! But the PLIES tv show? HUNDREDS of comments. The show is supposed to be about positive black people building up their lives or something, but as I see....THAT didn't quite GRAB our attention. But we all complaining about this here. Not talking about the ones over here speaking truth, but just the ones that had something to say in general. See how much NEGATIVITY gets our attention? Attention in some way almost equals support. See how LITTLE of our attention positive things get? Click on the article, look at the limited amount of comments....we weren't even interested to see what the show was about. But Plies, on the other hand!....and here we are. Find out who's doing and/or saying, singing, rapping about POSITIVITY...and SUPPORT it! That's the only way.
@ Staypoppin01:
I know this is a late response. I agree with you that the parents take the first owner of responsibility. It's obvious that many of them have failed their tasks to give their Black children a solid foundation, a positive roadmap, if you will, repeatedly.
But there comes a point where adults need to take responsibility for their own actions. I say that he is a role model because people look up to him and mimic his actions. I never said he was a positive role model.
And yeah there are plenty of racist issues Black people (especially Black men) fight everyday outside of our communities.
My solution to that is that we start focussing on building ourselves up rather than wait on someone else to do it.
For example, we try to get jobs from white established corporations and get mad at their discrimination against us. But we could start our own small businesses, combine those small businesses through mergers to form larger corporations and create more jobs for our own people and eliminate the competition. But we don't do that.
We can affect the way the media portrays us by boycotting negative programming (as many here have stated)and complaining to the networks in droves. But we don't do that.
We could also eliminate crime in our neighborhoods by keeping neighborhood watches and calling the police on anything suspicious. But we have this unwritten "No Snitching" code among us.
That's what I meant when I said we're too busy blaming our problems on whites and the government. We have the ability RIGHT NOW to change our situation completely. But we're waiting on the next Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to save us - as if it's a one man job. It begins in our own neighborhoods, in our schools, in our businesses and on our jobs. Actually, change begins in oneself.
AntiDumb....YOU SOUND LIKE A DAYUM FOOL!!!
1. I am from SOUTH CAROLINA & I have class. My family & friends do as well. The people that I meet from "Up North" are LOUD, DISRESPECTFUL, HAVE NO CLASS, & have NO CLUE what it is like to live in a quiet neighborhood with clean air.
2. We do not have to worry about BEING *** at when we leave the our homes. We do not have HUGE RATS in our apartment complexes. We don't have "projects" that are 50 stories high with no lights in the hallway. When we walk outside we dont see crack heads & prostitutes.
3. Obviously the women YOU meet are hoodrats & scallywags...that is why YOU have such a negative perception of women. I live in ATLANTA & most of the women from Northern states move here to be STRIPPERS or VIDEO HOEEESSS.... The majority of "Video Vixens" are not from the South baby. So know your facts.
4. Its doesnt matter where you are from, there are women who degrade themselves in all states, all countries, & all over the world. You have a very 1 dimensional view of what life is about if you think that "5th & Fashion" is going to improve a person's morality.
5. Most people that I meet from "New York" are from the "projects" & have no money to shop at the high end boutiques.
6. You sound like another dumb azzzz that makes us all look bad!! If you base your beliefs, thoughts, and actions off what you see a few people doing then you are a WEAK individual.
7. Oprah Winfrey Kosciusko, MISSISSIPPI...and her success proves that it doesnt matter where you are from, what matters is where you are & where you are going in life.
8. YOU ARE STUPID
9. Black people were affected by slavery but it is 2008. We are in the information age...anyone from anywhere, any race, any background can become anything they want to be. Some of the most successful black people were born Slaves...George Washington Carver, Fredrick Douglas, Soujourner Truth. New schoolers from the South... Kevin Garnett, Percy "Master P." Miller, Brandy, Monica, TLC, Ciara, Yolanda Adams, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Oprah, Snoop Dogg, Brandy, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Julia Roberts, Raven Symone. If you are still using "slavery" as a crutch then you are DUMB...not ANTI-DUMB.
10. I'm done. Thanks. :-)
ITS A DAME SHAME, THESE FUNKY, NASTY, ROTTEDY OUT , STD CARRYING, BROKE, UN-EDUCATED, SINGLE, GHETTO RATS. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING STUPID BLACK WOMEN ON TELEVISON MAKING THE ENTIRE AFRICAN-AMERICAN RACE LOOK TERRIBLE. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CALL THE POLICE ON THESE HOES, AND THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT KIND OF PERSON PLIES IS, AS OF WHAT KIND OF FEMALE CAME OUT TO THE AUDTIONS, JAY-Z, LL, NELLY, OR ANY OTHER, NOT EVEN LIL WAYNE WOULD HAVE SUCH A TURN OUT, THAT NI**A IS ILL. NO CLASS, NO TASTE, NO MORALS, THESE FOOLS ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS, UN-EDUCATED, UGLY, BROKE, SINGLE, NO TALENT, BLACK, WOMEN, WHY MAKE MATTERS WORSE.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP RIGHT NOW, IF PLIES ALLOWS THIS SHOW TO BE GREEN LIGHTED TO NATIONAL TELEVISON, THEN HIS CAREER IS OVER BEFORE IT STARTS. ON EVERYTHING I LOVE.
This is not surprising. He is a gutter rapper and these are th types of people who listen to his music. Lowlifes, No Morals, ***. Listen to his song Make You Wet, Now I have seen a heard jut about everything but when i heard that song I was astonished that someone could be so explicit and just tacky. Some obscenity is pointless. There is no talent inusing explicity terms to describe human sexual acts. The talent is when you are able to describe the beauty in it and find ways to say it in poetic terms .... These are the types of women that want him because he is the type of man they want. They are a perfect, low lfe, nasty, std carrying match. Those aren't black women .... they are black ***, black tricks, black bytches(in heat like dogs) and black tramps, skanks, you get the picture. These women also DO NOT represent BLACK WOMEN.... SO No black women needs to even take offense to these women because THEY DO NOT REPRESENT YOU. Black women are elsewhere educating themselves and their families and communities so that they wont turn out like these walking Std factories. You are what you act like ....
great name cause most of those chicks look busted and slutty as hell just how plies likes em :) HOLD UP df is a "bust it baby" nvm, i dont even wanan know :|
