I did catch that episode of True Life and I thought it was just me being "highfalotin'" and all. I think they could have explored the whole "only black squad to compete" aspect a lot more. And why was the show focused on KaRhonda and her commentaries? I think they could have explored Brittany and Jackie a whole lot more and maybe why urban black high school do not have the funds for cheerleading programs. I was glad to see that they did show the girl's parents supporting them at the games and competition.
Other than that it seem to me that it just pushed it from the angle of black ghetto steretypes......i.e dancing, smiling, shouts-out, shooting at the football game, etc.
