Black stereotypes?!

No need for others to paint their face black in minstrel shows to mimic. Saw the new commercial for a cooking show " My Momma can throw down". Yup from the producers of the sophisticated, world-renown cooking show comes this facade of a show whose mere title oozes black stereotypes. Black actors, black chefs. The kitchen set has a deep fryer attached, further perpetuating unhealthy eating habits of continuous fried food and tubs of butter. Maybe I am over analyzing a show that seeks to include the Black community among the beau coups of cooking shows.

ugh 4am rants
