What Do You Think Of BET's College Hill?

[Senusret I]

I don't think the show is degrading to black institutions any more than the Real World is degrading to predominately white institutions. Why?

MTV shows drunkenness, sluttiness, abortions, hazing, assault, battery, theft, breaking and entering, etc. Many of these participants are college students (although not enrolled at the time of the show). Don't forget that at the beginning of the season, the cast mates usually say what school they go to.

College Hill, in my opinion, shows far less than MTV reality shows do. Now, I find neither show to be degrading, but if I were to pick, MTV shows are worse.

Furthermore, the behaviors that I see on College Hill aren't unique to black college students....I know many a "Kinda" and "Jabari" from all races.

Finally....it's unscripted television. They don't go in there and tell Kinda to act loose. They didn't tell Shalondrea to get knocked up and not know who the father is. They did that on their own.

If there is anyone to blame, I say blame the participants. But I don't blame them, cuz I don't find the show to be degrading.
