I saw it.... Ayanna
IS crazy....
Well, better said, she is person who feels things VERY deeply. She's got a plethora of reasons to have issues -- primarily, her mom died last year...
~HOWEVER~
The "violence" (so-called) on the little Norweigan boy WAS
unjustified and
unmerited ...
Ayanna is a pretty intelligent chick -- and she knew he didn't know any better. She spent her entire Road Rules trip abroad, on a boat.... & I am sure she didn't have
Tips & Tricks for Happy Race Relations Handook (vol.1) . She knows how different EACH culture on this globe is. Anyway, she used to throw stuff and act crazy when she was out at sea on Road Rules, so it's hard for people not to think she's a nut and be afraid of her (remember the voo-doo episode -- w/ the matches and powder? LOL
)...
I can understand MTV's standpoint -- cuz they asked ol' girl point blank if she would handle it differently another time aound -- she said "no"... out the door I say. Then she tried to make it their fault... "They're throwing me off... I am not LEAVING, I am kicked off..." She knew the rules.
But they didn't have to make an entire show about it. MTV has been contributing to the general public's negative conception that Blacks have issues with controlling themselves (one way or another).
Not all of us are in need of Anger Management classes.
PLUS ~~ We don't get the benefit of seeing
the entire story... Remember, it's all edited. I guess the revolution (and all of the tiny ones in between) will not be televised after all....
On another note... I did like how Kamillah approached the situation...
She pulled ol' boy to the side and told him to holla' at her if he needed some schooling on race relations!!!
LOL!!
Educate, Educate, Educate.
