It'a about time. I agreed with her as far as the images that are portrayed on television today. They are quite negative...for example, the Flava of Love one particular group of women...mainly Black Women and shows us in a negative light. What about the women that I can relate too..a woman who is trying to balance a family, career, small business while attending college. You don't see that but you see someone from I Love New York and unfortunately she is representing Black Women. It is unfair because you have the negative images from caucasians but they are also shown in a very positive light. Most often you have more positive of white women than negative. It's time for a change. I am not ghetto, I don't live in the projects, I am educated, I know my kids' father and I am married to him. I want to see more of that image on TV and in movies.

I have heard these stories over and over again--most recently from actresses Bern Nadette Stanis and Debbie Zipp. The other problem with Hollywood is they like to "stereotype" Black actresses into certain roles.
