People are always shocked to meet me in person after they've been conversing with me on the phone or emailing for weeks or months, only to find out I'm black. I've even had white guys flirt with me constantly on the phone or email - but then look AMAZED when they see me...and embarrassed that they were flirting with a black woman. <br /><br />It's all based on perception, and what people envision certain groups of people to be...and I could tell I didn't fit in with the vision they had. Where they get these visions from could be anywhere - but movies and television definitely play a part.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-6624741815128107982009-12-14T17:08:59.302-05:002009-12-14T17:08:59.302-05:00I knew she wasn't really Black once I saw she ...I knew she wasn't really Black once I saw she had her own blog...<br /><br />You know REAL Black people can't write intelligently.

It's really just funny because you can tell these are the extreme of the way Italians are...not the norm. "The Situation" is hilarious because he's so pathetic. For him to be so arrogant, he's really insecure and can't stand the fact that Sammi doesn't want him. <br /><br />Snookie is pathetic too, and only wants to "make out" with every "guido" she can find. HER words, not MINE. And I'm glad the cock blocking chic is gone. <br /><br />Honestly, this show is no different than any other reality show. I don't care what race they are, it's "fuckery" as Brooke would say. It's mindless and it's funny and it's shocking and it's there to amuse me. People who are upset over it need to get a life and change the channel. No one thinks all Italians are like that, meanwhile everyone seems to think black people are a certain way. Gimme a break. There's only ONE show on tv mocking them, but hundreds on tv mocking US.

And the crazy thing about that is, I got in trouble at work for NOT watching them. They always rate well, and when we have our meetings, they ask me what I think of the show and why I think it does well - but they only ask me about the Flavor of Love or Ray J shows...as if I'm the spokesperson for why black folk act a fool on tv. <br /><br />When I tell them I never saw an episode of said shows, they tell me it's my job to know what shows do well and why. But the answer is quite simple - I don't have to watch it to know why it does well. It's train wreck tv - and it sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to know there are people out there who are more stupid than they are. I don't need to watch such shows for validation. I'm not saying that's why ALL people watch those type of shows, but that's why SOME do. <br /><br />And there are moments where you're just truly shocked by what you see. I think people tune in simply because some of the stuff is just totally unbelievable. And yes, some of it is just plain funny.<br /><br />Either way, I just can't seem to get into these shows to the point where I seek them out as regular viewing. I texted Rameer as I was watching like "really???!!!!" It was crazy to me, but I can't see myself watching this every week - and I have no interest in watching Snookie (yes, that's her nickname) getting punched in the face.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-89469153302713220362009-12-14T16:33:38.875-05:002009-12-14T16:33:38.875-05:00The 16 year old baby show is crazy too!

It's cool amongst Italians to use (they also sometimes refer to each other as "dagos"), but never for someone outside of that ethnic group. I hung around the Italians in high school, and they were essentially like Black white people in many ways. That's so a completely different blog, though...<br /><br />My guess is they're embarrassed to have kids throwing that word around just like the older gods were embarrassed to hear me and my boys saying the N word in public. You know it's used in close circles, but you don't want people to hear it and think they then can think of you as that or refer to you as such. <br /><br />And yeah, the little one - Snooki - gets mollywopped right in the kisser. He *clocks her*, too...it's pretty bad. But like Brooke-Ra said - it's a selling point for that show. It is after all a "hot-mess" type of show.<br /><br />I just think everyone should see the first episode (it's two hours for the first one). It's so over-the-top...every ep. afterwards will probably focus on specific things, etc. But it's the intros to these characters that had my jaw on the ground and me laughing my arse off.<br /><br />"The Situation" alone has to be the funniest character I've seen on "reality" TV. Seriously. <br /><br />In fact, I'm gonna start calling myself "The Circumstance" based off that dude's whole aura. TOOOOOO FUNNY!<br /><br />Glad y'all appreciated the quote.

They refer to themselves as "guidos" no fewer than 10 times an episode it seems. I'm not sure if that's really considered a derogatory term in literal translation, but they're proud to be considered whatever that is. I can't really call it.<br /><br />As for the girl getting punched in the face, yes, they show it...cuz it happened. That's what'll draw people in. I'm not saying it's right, but that's what brings in ratings. They show the guy getting arrested and everything. It's crazy.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-55495750638636838002009-12-14T14:54:07.003-05:002009-12-14T14:54:07.003-05:00Punched in the face by a man??
