I can't believe I just saw this advertised today. I could have been making fun of this three weeks ago. Damnit. Okay just going to start this off with a couple of statements. First, my second statement is actually an actual representation of my true feelings on the subject, the rest of this post is made in jest.
Statement two; I think shows like this that only allow for a certain race or class to compete speak directly to the core of what defines racism, elitism, entitlement and ignorance. Restricting a game show to "Blacks only" is no different than the drinking fountain at Laredo City Hall marked "Whites only". Segregation of any sort is not something that any race is entitled to in any and all cases.
Off the box now but some questions I would have about a "black Newlywed Game" are;
Would the contestant restrictions of actual marriage be lifted in favor of something more realistic like, baby's mamas?
How many questions would be axed per contestant?
Would they still give a washer/dryer set to the runner up or just a voucher for the laundromat and liquor store?
Can baby Daddy's participate via satellite from the penitentiary?
Will it be filmed at the Apollo?
Can Dominicans participate?
How many times will contestants be allowed to "go upside that ho's nug" before they get docked points?
Will the winners have the option of being paid in cash or have their winnings transferred to the balance of their S.N.A.P or W.I.C. accounts?
These are just some of the jokes that came to mind when I saw this.
Hope that helps,
FDC
