Why do yall nikkas even care. This shyt ain't c00ning. It's a trashy soap. Blacks need to stop being so insecure. It's okay to have a trashy night time soap opera with shytty writing and bad acting and stereotypes and shyt. As long as we have other things to balance it out. It's fine. Trashy and scandalous shyt OF ALL RACES, will always be popular.

Mob Wives plays on Italian Stereotypes.

They got Gypsy TV shows, Amish Mafia shyt, The Beverly Hillbillies, Jersey Shore etc. everyone is being exploited.

Yall nikkas so worried about these crackers perception. It's not the TV's job to show ANYTHING in a positive light. It's their job to bring in ratings and advertising dollars. People like smut and car crashes more than they like postive intelligent shyt. That's HUMAN NATURE, not ****** Nature.

Re-fukking-lax.

It's way more important shyt to get on a soap box about. Healthcare, Education, Gentrification, Cultural Appropriation. Let that piss u off. Not a fukking trashy soap opera.


I care because it's a fukking shame.

What are our other alternatives? Not, as many as the folks who watch Mob Wives have. Also, I got enough room in my mind to do and worry about more than this T.V show. Sorry, if you think it takes up that much of someone time.

why is it a shame? what about it is a shame? The world been based off stereotypes since pop culture and popular media became a thing.

Everything in Mass Culture is broad strokes. Being Mary Jane isn't a negative show btw. Blackish while the title makes me uncomfortable. Isnt bad... per se.

Culture in this capitalist country is made to be exploited at every facet. Thats not a problem. I think Blacks lack of presence on the production end and the writing end is the broader issue.

I have no problem with fried chicken jokes and shyt, cause thats part of our culture. How do yall want to represented ultimately thats what im asking.

I still can't believe that they actually take it serious....they crew and the fans. The only one that knows what type of show she's in is Taraji...I hope. CTHu
