I'm not sure that I totally buy into that. Networks are more about green than black in some cases. The Flavor of Love franchise (as hot trash as it is), has been quite lucrative and that's why VH1 keeps churning out the various off shots. Network television isn't an altruistic endeavor, it's about money.

But i guess america still isnt ready to see the diversity in black women.

If we're totally honest, some of "us" aren't ready either (unfortunately).
