What I meant was that b/c we live in the United States, some people in white America will no doubt streotype black men (or gay black men, or even gay men in general b/c, as Snoop says "Please Believe It", Segun (I think, But I know that I don't know him but even SweetestDiva said he is very feminine--not saying all feminine men are gay or vice-versa but, COME ON NOW!! ) is a closet homosexual if I've ever seen one--and I have...)...But, anyway, I was saying that I wouldn't want people making ignorant, negative stereotypes. Would you want them to put a black gang-banger or drug-dealer on the show??? I did not want Segun on the show not b/c he may be gay but b/c I did not like his attitude and seemed arogant, shallow (like when he was talking about how he values "Hoes"...WHATEVA!!), and immature. I value diversity just as much as the next person, but we have to draw the line somewhere. Don't get it twisted (cuz I don't) , I know there are MANY shallow, immature (like David acted sometimes on RW New Orleans...he got on my nerves sometimes), and ignorant black men in America, but I'd rather not see stereotypes perpetuated on tv.

YOu have to admit that at least David from New Orleans was good for a laugh! When he was trying to scat and started singing that "Come on be my baby" song I was on the FLOOR
