I also disagree with his statement that the series will promote dialogue and self-examination in an effort to strenghten the black community. That is bull! What vehicles for communication will BET offer after the show has aired?? It's not like they will be holding any townhall meetings to discuss the images and delve deeper into why people look and/or behave the way they do. I bet there will be little to no follow up on behalf of BET with regards to the images they will display on that show.

a. everyone over the age of 25 knows that young people dont want the right things. i will admit that at 19 or 20 i wanted a whole lot of things that were bad for me.
b. theres nothing wrong with making fun of fashion, etc. i watch it all the time on E! but there is never any derogatory remark made about it. it is always just a fashion mistake. it isnt racial either.
