O.k. So I am flipping thru the channels on the boob tube the other night and ran across what I thought was gonna be an interesting show??? It was called Hip Hop Squares or something like that. I see some comedians and famous rappers. I watch and its all good until I listen to the freaking questions and answers. They ask what does BET stand for or what is "Muffin Top", I was like REALLY???? I turned over to catch the last few minutes of Jeopardy and felt dumb!
I am sure we could come up with some better questions than that to ask our people. I know plenty of smart, educated black folk, so why can't Hollywood find 3? Then again, if you ever read a JET magazine you know it ain't got nothing to do with planes and so easy to read that a 4th grader can get through it....quickly!
I guess I am just realizing that the world is not fair and what is always on T.V. may not be suitable for those of us who are trying to do better.
I am Ward......
