lastpoetnsite,
No disrespect intended with this post...
I agree with most of what you said, however I disagree on the talent issue. Being talented does not neccessarily mean that you can sing, dance or write. I think that there are several talented cast members on Real World, AND there are several who are not.
I think we are giving Segun too much credit. I should not have attacked him by saying he is gay...because that really does not matter to me. I had a problem with the superficial way the he represented himself. As if that is all he has to offer...But then of course, it is my problem with him, and not anyone else's.
You are right, MTV tends to pigeonhole all of their cast members into certain roles. As I watched the casting special, I could pretty much guess who was going to be picked. I think Segun rubbed me the wrong way because I thought he gave MTV another chance to show to the world this stereotypical black man, instead of showing positive brothers, like Kevin. Kevin said on the casting special that at the time they were filming, the Rodney King incident just had taken place. I wonder...did that affect his temper at that time?
