Black Women in a Cat Fight? Where's the dignity?

 After watching this episode of, RHOP, I was absolutely disgusted by the behavior displayed in that winery.  Furthermore, I was disappointed to hear Monique, tell her husband, "I don't care about the image" when he told her that the fight was a despicable image to put forward. Monique's attitude is the problem with some of these reality shows. As black women we already get a bad rap for being loud,combative etc. We need to present ourselves in a professional manner instead of tearing each other down and getting involved in physical/mental altercations.  While Gizelle says that "we have been able to keep ourselves above the stereotype and in five minutes she took it away", the responsibility also falls on the rest of the cast as well in projecting positive images. I personally, would like to see the ladies get involved in more charity events and show a balance to some of the catty behavior displayed on the show.

Can we please act like ladies?

Can we please act like ladies? After watching this episode, I felt compelled to comment. I and many others have gone to great lengths to lift up African-American women. I was disheartened to hear Sheree drag Nene about when she couldn't afford her car payment and needed severe dental work. Instead she should be happy for her that she made it. In my book, there's a character, "Pissed-off Paula" "You know her, she's always walking around with a frown on her face, just waiting to snap at someone for the tiniest matter....mad at the world" Perhaps Sheree is a pissed-off Paula.
