Resentment

Oh my where do I start with this one?  I will admit I had a moment where I was watching a couple of these shows because I had unrealistic expectations of uplifting entertainment. I am over adults, who behave like idiots and exhibit underlying resentment and jealousy towards others!!! There is always a storyline about some overgrown child masquerading as an adult, having a moment!!!
Why are some attacking people, verbally, physically and psychologically over the silliest of things.  If I were not a black woman and knew better I would think that all black women are loud, obnoxious, silly and immature. When you turn on the television and spend 3 minutes watching any reality show, that is the way we come across.  You have all these unattractive, overweight, classless, tacky sisters on TV  (Yes I said it)  yelling at the top of their lungs, attacking each other over the most mundane of things, "you said, I said."  Really?  Have we regressed collectively back to junior high school and all become the "Mean Girls" of the day?  The attention grabbing antics they all have become experts at is so pathetic!!! These women are shallow and seem to resent each other over everything.  Everyone is vying for the most attention and to be the star.   Based on news reports of the trouble some get into, most are living beyond their means.  A bunch of middle class income people are pretending to be mega rich and are going into debt, committing crimes, having affairs with married men, pimping themselves out to wealthy men and so much more to give an appearance of a luxurious life!!!  They welcome gold digger status and openly back stab each other to get what they want.  Watching some of them attack the weaker or less vocal among them to make themselves feel good is so wretched.   A recent reunion show of one of these shows illustrates how ugly it can get when the claws come out.  Anyone with half a brain could see that there was so much resentment and jealousy directed towards one of the cast in particular.  The real minder blower is that there are women out here who are actually taking advice from these clowns, supporting their endeavors to get rich and even more obnoxious, emulating them and admiring them.
The men on these shows are just as bad.  Most of them act more like little GIRLS, than men!!!! They get involved in these petty, catty and deceitful antics and I guess this makes them feel important.  Lord I miss the good old days when people with dignity and class would never be caught dead behaving like this in public.  The men on these shows are nothing  like the men I know.  The men I know would not put up with such nonsense and they would not behave like little girls on a field trip in high school.  I guess the love of money is the root of all evil because we have turned into a people that are willing to sell our credibility, dignity, values, peace of mind and souls to the highest bidder!!!!
