There's a campaign to boycott all companies that advertise during the show to make it so that airing SS causes VH1 to lose ad dollars. It's working - Carmex, Hallmark, and the maker of the Selma movie have all announced they are pulling their commercials from VH1 (at least during that time slot) to distance themselves from the show.
I don't think you are being vague at all. I really appreciate you answering that question as I did not want to step on anyone's toes or be disrespectful/ rude. I always wondered that because I have friends from both HBCU and non-HBCU chapters. I saw the campaign all over FB about it.

I mentioned to a friend of mine who is a Que that you would think people would be smart enough not to assume every member of XYZ acts a certain way. He laughed and said, "Yeah. You would hope people would be smart enough to realize that but, they aren't. That's why people are upset." There were a few ladies on there who didn't seem to really make a name for themselves in a bad way. I am interested to see how the rest of the season plays out or if they will even finish airing it due to the backlash.
