My mean side must interject and make it known, this will not be a habit, I will watch these clips ONLINE with no advertisements when the wind hits me, but I hope that Black women can get a sense that my warnings are genuine.I will also review past shows only. Reviewing future shows has the danger of sending out the ENERGY of anticipation. If you feel a sense of anticipation you will resist rising up and respecting yourself enough by not supporting these shows and demanding better.
Now I know these shows have become like a "tub of ice-cream" as you sit on the couch, after a man stands you up or is not acting right. They have become a sense of comfort for many Black women and they feel as if they can find an understanding of their life in the drama. People like to watch those who are like themselves. Unfortunately, they don't realize that sacrifice and being a little uncomfortable is the only way to spiritually grow and sacrifice is usually temporary. It's temporary because you always get a result from sacrificing and those results can be positive.
When you spiritually grow you will demand and receive better shows that are entertaining. I wonder if most Black women today remember the sitcom "Girlfriends". A fictional show that had an out there character like "Toni" but did not focus on the ENERGY of drama that made Black women seem untrustworthy.
Black women must sacrifice senseless drama for better image portrayals.The social conditions and state of our race demands this. If portrayed at all these shows should only represent a "drop in the bucket" of our culture.
It's important to remember these shows are presented as reality. Consciously Black men and women might say they realize it's staged but that does not help the subconscious mind. It does not help the subconscious mind because the characters are real even when they are not married to these men. Many of them have had some type of relationship with the men they are talking about, so their actions reflect the ENERGY of what a woman would actually do and say in that situation.
These shows create a separation between Black women and men. Black men don't trust Black women and that ENERGY is increasing at a rapid rate. Black women are becoming a group of women men are extremely weary of. It makes Black men want to close themselves off to Black women even more than they already do. They feel a risk in being open and simply deal with and "handle" Black women in this era.
Well, let me get to the theme of this thread......................
The other day I came across a clip of "Love and Basketball" on Bossip. Bossip like most sites fail to push the consciousness of Black women to a higher level they simply feed the stereotypical perceptions of Black women to the world. Despite this from time to time I find an article or thread that allows me to create a post for my site. A post that goes deeper into the ENERGY and spirituality of a situation.
Now the following clip is Episode 1 from the first season of "Love and Basketball". Let's take a look at the ENERGY of one scene. Please don't bother me about the updates of this show, just like I randomly picked it out, so can Black men. I can only assume like me they don't watch these shows but come across clips online.
