She should have learned her lesson after Deelishus embarassed the hell out of her on the boat.

**Why must we act so buffonish on TV and wonder why people have a certain mindset when it comes to us?***

When I went to "Bamboozled" by Spike Lee, I remember thinking, "this could never happen today." Lo and behold I was wrong, because we have been bamboozled with Flavor of Love. It dawned on me the other day. Flavor Flav is a straight up sambo, bafoon and coon or however you want to put it.

Girl, why can I picture him with a straw hat on, eating a watermelon!

Don't sleep. If I can find one, I'll post one. When I was teaching I used to show a documentary entitled, "Small Steps, Big Strides." It was the history of blacks in entertainment beginning with white folks "portraying" black folks in black face to Denzel Washington. It is excellent. I wonder how Flav would feel if he actually sat down to watch it. Would her have any shame? Probably not. He hasn't had his "Dave Chapelle Moment" yet.

Sorry for the HIJACK!

What grade or level were you teaching? Did the students catch on? Were they affected?

I was teaching 10th grade African American Literature. There was a unit in ou text book entitled, "Blacks in Entertainment". We began by watching the documentary and studied the history from "Birth of a Nation" to "Glory". Trust me, they got it. They were required to do an oral presentation in which they selected one person/group from a list of entertainers. The catch was that the list did not include current performers such as Halle Berry or Denzel Washington. They had to choose from a list that included Oscar Micheaux, The Nicholas Brothers, Freddie Washington, Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, Nina Mae Mckinney, Hattie McDaniel, etc...

They learned a lot and enjoyed it as well. I have to say that was my favorite unit.

I have to say I love you for that unit! "Birth of a Nation", too? Wow...

They couldn't even mention 50 Cent... I could almost hear a child saying, "Come on, Ms. AKADIVA12! 50 revolutionized rap! He got shot 9 times! He made money out of being a victim! Who else could do that???"

[neosoul]

I never saw FOL2, just the last episode only because I was drunk and my cousin made me watch it... although I did watch the 1 season, so that prepared me for the madness... New York looked like she had a drug problem... and the reunion was a holy mess... when they started going around the room and I started hearing all the girls' names, I knew further madness was about to ensue... luckily there was porn on some other channel and that got my attention... by the time I switched bak to the reunion it was over... and LaLa seemed to be pointing daggers at the camera... kikikiki

[jojapeach]

I can hear that Sambo laughing that same Flava Flav cackle.

I don't care about that thing not hitting New York. I really wish it hit Lala instead.

[DSTCHAOS]

I wish LaLa had hit Buckwild. Buckwild is a phony.

I like Flava Flav. He's musically talented and a funny guy. He's not even ugly to me--not FINE but not ugly b/c I've seen much worse. Not someone I'd date but he probably has a genuine heart and a swagger--and it looks like he has good hygiene even if his face is greasy sometimes.

If people don't like his grown ass acting the way he does or they think he's a Sambo (which is funny b/c that's like telling black comedians that they are coons whereas white comedians can do the same type of comedy and be called comedic geniuses) then DON'T WATCH THE SHOW.
