So I was watching the Wife Swap Marathon this weekend...

I have never seen the show and I decided to check out an episode or 2....So the first one I saw was there were 2 interracial couples. The first was a black lady and her white man slave....(her man and kids were like slaves to her I swear) This fat heffa just sits in her bed and has the husband and her kids bring her wine and food...That's it...end of story...that is all she does! That's couple number 1


Couple 2 is a black man and white lady...They have like 5 kids...The black guy is lazy as hell...comes from work and sits down watches tv while this lady (nice as hell but very naive) slaves with the kids. She is one of those "Anything to please my man/Im the wife it's my job" ladies. Sooo they swap....And the black lady (who is rude and hates black men btw) goes and soon as she gets to the house she is hating on dude already (cause he is black.)

Now the show works like this (for those who don't know) You have to swap houses for 2 weeks....The first week you act like the person you have swapped with...use their household rules and methods. The next week you act like yourself bringing YOUR household rules n shit to the new place.

Ok so long story short this was some of the most ignorant shit I have seen on TV since I last watched B.E.T.... A whole lotta "All black men are lazy, Black men treat women like slaves, black men do this yada yada yada....

Then the white lady is like "Black men know how to treat women, Black men know what its like to be a man, blah blah fuckin blah....

So after all of this bullshit episode ends I watch another cause I don't want to judge it by one episode...I see MORE bullshit....More Race crap and other close minded nonsense... Now I know this is how people are and that is not what really gets me about this show.

The premise is to see how the other half lives and hopefully learn something in the end (which no one really did even if they say they did) But why not grab a Nazi woman and a Black woman or Jewish woman and have them swap houses? They might as well....I mean it's ridiculous...There were only like 2 shows I saw where the people were just different (no race issues) just lifestyles and that is what I expected and what they promote. Not all this ignorant ass race shit which makes everyone look stupid and offers everyone in a fucked up light.

So now someone flips through and can see the lazy Black man and the loud black woman go at it for an hour....I don't usually pay attention to shit that happens on TV and it takes a LOT to offend me. But I was close to being offended yesterday....I was just like "What the fuck is this shit?!" It was unreal....I mean Im not completely blaming the show...TV exploits it what TV is all about...But between the lady and the seemingly "Hidden Message" I was like WTF!

Didn't Dave Chappelle come up with this idea before ABC or FOX?

I saw that mess too this weekend. I changed the channel when those idiots came on. When the lady was talking about how the white guy was not a man in front of his kids I was pissed for him. You do not belittle anyone in front of their kids! I wanted to whoop her butt! The one that came on before these two episodes was good. This Ivy league family versus the Tree people. I cracked up on that one. This chic was in tears that first night. Then you had the tree lady tearing up this poor woman's house with chickens! The Ivy league lady was right when she said that this woman is not preparing her children for opportunities that they may come across by how she was parenting. I think the best one that I have seen when they swapped a lesbian couple with church going folk who opposed that lifestyle. lol The lesbian couple showed how they were hypocrites! I loved it! It can be good sometimes. Thank God for TV guide so I can check the episodes before they traumatize me!

FINALLY! Some else saw that damn show....Wasn't that episode awful? I missed the tree people, and I thought the Biker family and the enviornmentalist people was pretty good....That seemed to be one of the ones that really dealt with the show's premise. I really couldn't watch anymore after that since that other episode got me heated...
