Outstanding Or Outlandish?

((scratching head))

Not only does The Real Housewives of Atlanta stick out like a sore thumb in the list of NAACP nominated “Outstanding Reality Series”, but the nomination doesn’t fit in with any of the other names and titles on the extensive list AT ALL. It’s a wonder to me how this show was nominated and what the explanation behind it was, exactly. (Maybe it was Sheree’s “who gon’ check me boo” line that stirred the pot.)

RHOA is competing with the likes of American Idol 8, America’s Next Top Model, Dancing with the Stars, and Extreme Makeover for the organization’s award show.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love The Housewives but I love them for the drama, fighting, hair shifting (lol), name-calling, backstabbing….. I can go on and on but I’m sure you get the point. The meaning behind the name, NAACP, is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. How is this show helping to advance anything but an a** whoopin during almost every episode? This is not something that I would be proud of, so that is why I am so surprised by the decision.

The Blind Side, The Princess and the Frog, Precious… Denzel Washington (wiping drool from my chin), Morgan Freeman, Anika Noni Rose, Taraji P. Henson… The Real Housewives of Atlanta… Nope! Still not understanding!

Somebody make sure NeNe’s name is on the guest list. We don’t want her making a scene outside another event.
