The Hypocritical Obsession With Black Women’s Obsession With Scandal
***The Champ’s latest at Ebony has a message for NBA-loving men criticizing Black women for being “influenced” by the popular show***
As much as Black men fret and fume about Black women becoming completely enraptured by these ridiculously predictable shows featuring unrealistically attractive, insanely wealthy, and completely amoral people making reckless, shrewd, and illogical decision after reckless, shrewd, and illogical decision—basically people they’ll never, ever actually meet doing things they’ll never, ever actually be able to do—many of these men do the exact same thing…but they just like to call it watching the NBA Playoffs.
Ah yes. The NBA Playoffs. That reality TV show complete with multi-layered narratives (Will Lebron get his second ring? How much does Timmy have left in the tank?), plot twists (Westbrook down!), fake outs (Derrick Rose is playing! Wait, no he’s not? Wait, yes he is! Wait…), antagonists (Hi, NBA ref!) and the slight suspicion that things might be scripted. That soap opera that has grown-ass men huddled around flat screens and iPads everywhere, watching, talking, shrieking, and tweeting about the sartorial choices of rich men living in South Beach, the interracial dating history of closeted Ivy league men with identical twins, and Lebron’s hair. That “television event” where men alter their schedules and ignore their girlfriends and wives to passionately watch the trails and tribulations of tattoo and underwear-clad young men. The paradoxical universe where men cheer for men from certain cities, even though neither them nor the men they’re cheering for are actually from that city, which means they’re kinda, sorta just screaming, sweating, and crying for laundry.
And yes, despite referring to “Black men” as “they” instead of “we,” I am one of these Black men as well. I’ve been a part of the chorus critical of Black women for being so invested in Scandal—even devoting 700 words to it despite, at the time, never seeing a minute of it—while personally investing just as much energy watching, following, reading, and tweeting about all things NBA. By my own logic, since I’m a college grad whose favorite players either didn’t graduate or just didn’t go to college altogether, I’m a hypocrite too. Apparently it is possible to write blog entries with bushels full of planks in your eyes.

VSB Updates: Technical Issues, Walk For Lee, and Stuff
Good morning.
Clearly everybody has noticed that we’ve been having some technical difficulties lately. The comments aren’t loading all the time, the site is down sometimes. I promise you’ve paid all of our bills. Our host is negotiating with terrorists or something which is why we’ve had difficulty even logging into our site. Hell, I’m writing this telepathically right now. I took the one sliver of time it worked to write a post to update you all on what’s happening. We’re getting it together though…or our host is anyway. Hold tight y’all. We’ve got some big things in the works soon so this helps us know how its about to go down. But trust and believe…big sh*t poppin.
That’s also why I haven’t posted anything. If the post is going to be eaten by WordPress, well I’d rather not drive everybody crazy by trying to beat a system that’s already won the battle. If we can get a post up and the systems are a go, we’ll rock and roll baby.
On another note, we here at VSB do attempt to do some social good and help those who are in need. And when somebody in our community is deeply affected by something, and asks for help, we do see fit to do what we can to get the information out there. Such brings us to a cause:
Read about his story here.
Should you be so moved, you can donate money if you’d like to help. Also, on this Sunday, May 19th, there is a Walk 4 Lee taking place from 10-3pm in Reston, VA at Lake Fairfax Park. Feel free to spread the word. You can also follow the Twitter handle @walk4lee for updates and information.
Sharing is caring.
Lastly…we’re nearing completion of our pilot. It’s coming. #knowthat But shhhhh…don’t tell nobody except everybody.
