I really enjoyed the True Life: I'm an urban cheerleader. I like seeing Black girls take and interest in a competitive sport because it builds character and challenges them in many different ways. I watch the national cheereading competitions and have lamented the lack of color among the squads. I'm glad that MTV brought that squad to our attention. As far as the "ghetto" aspects of it...if that is how people live then that's how they live. Do we want to see White Black people on TV. I think that added a flare to the series. The only thing don't like is how the word urban is used as a code word for Black people. There was nothing urban about those girls and their town. But I really was glad to see them on the program.
