I'm probably Bravo's biggest fan. I started watching their channel non stop when they created their first primetime show "The Real Housewives of Orange County"... and I've been behind them 100% ever since.
However with The Real Housewives of Atlanta Bravo has proven themselves to be desperate, sad, and might I add slightly tacky.
As an Atlantan with a diverse group of friends I must say that this show really doesnt infuriate my black friends-- to the point where NONE of them watch this trash. And to be honest I think no educated black person with class watches this... its more of show for ghetto people thats why I think it belongs on BET.
My mother is an Atlanta socialite, she's white, but she has friends who are asian, black , and hispanic. And I think the show could have easily found classier women with a diverse group of friends... but instead they found an ex stripper from Athens (a redneck country town), a boujee 'sorta hood' woman from Ohio, and a few others.
This show makes Atlanta looks bad and is far from the truth. I hope they drop everyone from the show except Kim and Lisa and find new members-- another white woman, another black woman, and maybe an asian or I guess another black woman-- like Deshawn Snow (they could bring her back).
And honestly people like to call shows that have no black people racist, I find shows that perpetuate negative black stereotypes to be racist. Some may say that I'm out of my place, but I'm being honest and candid. I think the show does more harm than good. It's disgusting and an embarrassment to my native city.
