The only black people on RW that MTV hasn't shown to be "angry" are those that were never really in the house and did not have that much of an active involvement with their roommates and the show. Kevin (#1), Muhammed (#3), and Teck (Hawaii) all had very active and full lives outside of the show. Kevin was working on establishing himself as a writer. He also had an apartment in New York so he could leave whenever he wanted to. Muhammed was from San Francisco, had his own place, a girlfriend, and his music group. He didn't have time to really deal with the other roommates like that. And, Teck just liked to party and do his own thing.
MTV didn't have the opportunity to portray them as angry because they probably didn't have enough footage of them.

Interesting observation. Is it that MTV didn't have the "opportunity" to portray them as angry...or that they just weren't angry, period. I think it's the latter...being in that house all the time WOULD make me angry, so the remedy would be leaving the house as much as possible. *I'm about to catch a caaaase*
