The Real Babymamas of Richmond have really done it

So the first episode of The Real Babymamas of Richmond aired last night and, well, it was kind of a thing. Twitter blew up while the show was on, and there are at least 2 articles in response to the show today:

As we saw before, just the existence of this show opens up a discussion on race and class. After seeing episode one, part of the conversation is also about the TRMBOR’s intentions and how they are telling their own story. GaptoothDiva wrote perhaps the most compelling criticism of the show so far, saying that “These black women do not represent me or any of the black women I associate with, but they do have a testimony. However, having an actual plan on how to convey that testimony, that is another story.”

Anyway, if you missed it, keep an eye on the TRBMOR Youtube channel.

The Real Baby Mommas of Richmond is a REAL mess, REAL ignorant, REAL ratchet, REAL unorganized, REAL irresponsible, REAL lame, a REAL disservice, REAL embarrassing, REAL irrelevant, REAL crass, REAL unnecessary, REAL uncouth, and a REAL waste of air time. I hope they take it off the air REAL soon.

I disagree with keeping it silent. That’s like having a big elephant in the room and ignoring it. We should bring this to light, show people what it’s doing, and take it off the air! We have a right to petition this kind of media, and I believe we should. This is a disgrace to the black community, black women, single parents, and especially the city of Richmond Virginia. Don’t let it slide, next thing that’ll happen is that this goes national. Let’s stop it at the local line.
