Is this How Black Women Communicate Now?THE NEGATIVE WAY IN WHICH BLACK WOMEN ARE PORTRAYED ON TELEVISION

Basketball Wives

THIS IS A REALITY SHOW THAT DEPICTS BLACK WOMEN AS VIOLENT, VERBALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE.

Three things that are not true about black women

• Not all of us are violent

• Not all of us are verbally abusive

• Not all of us are insensitive

how does the images of black women portrayed on tv effect me

• It makes me feel embarrassed that millions of people watch us as we conduct ourselves as women that don’t have respect or class for others

• It makes me fell sad for the children of these women, because sooner or later the children will see the negative way in which their moms are being portrayed

• It concerns me that most people who view these types of shows will develop a negative impression about black women and how we behave

What can we do to change the negative way that television portrays black women?

Stop supporting television shows that portray ALL

women in a negative way!!!
