Chad Ochocinco was on the Wendy Williams show to promote his new reality show, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. If you haven’t heard by now, Chad Ochocinco basically cut all the black women from the show, with an exception of two token pieces, who were basically chosen by the producers. So Chad Ochocinco has a reality show on Vh1, which basically means that the target audience is black women, yet he doesn’t want any black women on the show. To make matters worst, he still wants black women to support his reality show, or in other words put money in his pocket. If it wasn’t for Necole Bitchie, I wouldn’t even know who this cat was, and nor would any of the other black blogs who also helped to promote and make him more famous, so that he can compete on Dancing with the Stars.
Unfortunately, Chad Ochocinco doesn’t have the brain powers to realize, it’s all about image, and if you lose your core group of supporters then your show will #fail. Even Terrell Owens, figured that one out.
Anyway, listen to Chad Ochocinco defending his choices, while asking you to support him. He didn’t consider your preferences, but he wants you to consider his.
time for black women to boycott all USERS
@dian,
What they don’t realize is that black women don’t care who you date or end up with, but don’t exclude all of them from your pool of choices.
I don’t care if people have a preference, but if their preference is exclusively outside their race, then I think they have a problem within.
At least Chad has dated black women, and has black children.
I don’t date black women, don’t want sista’s on my show but black women support me, give me ratings and make me famsous, F**k YOU CHAD OCHO-SEE-COON! That’s exactly what you are a tap dancing sambo! If this monkey actually believes that black women will support him then I’m truly insulted.
@STEFANY,
At least have sense enough to fake it. That’s what bothers me, he didn’t have sense enough to act like he was interested. But, I guess I appreciate his honesty, and now I don’t watch at all.
@MrsGrapevine 2,
I agree, he’s too damn stupid to at least put a couple of black girls on the show, that just shows what a poor business man he is.
I wonder why is it that the majority of dark-skinned brothers “prefer” White or Hispanic women. I never even heard of this dude before and I simply don’t even know why he is famous. You can’t be prejudice against your own history. You can’t walk by us, ignore us and then want us to help to lift you up when you need help reaching the top.
@SylentDreamz,
Like I said, I know plenty of people who date and who have married outside their race, and their relationships are solid and beautiful.
But, it was not because they were searching for a prototype, it’s because they didn’t exclude anyone, and that’s just where they found love.
Shopping for a woman like she’s an accessory is sickening. How about open your options and find out what’s unique about that person, and not about that person’s race.
And why is it always the boot-black, cotton picking, plantation looking negros who always have skin color prefernce. And YES, I have a problem with black men who won’t date a woman who looks like his mother, there is something very wrong with that picture.
@STEFANY, I was thinking the same thing. I’m guessing here, maybe they need validated because of the treatment and stigma of darker skin. It hasn’t always been that dark skin brothas are “in style” for lack of another expression. Just my opinion.
My options been open. My children father is bi-racial and my sister in law is white. My brother didn’t grow up only dating white women, He had his share of sistas, its just when he meet his wife, she was the one. He didn’t exclude himself to one race and that’s what it seems that ochocinco is doing. he is excluding himself to a race of his own. My brother didn’t go around saying okay I want to marry a white woman and go shopping for one.
@SylentDreamz,
I agree with you 100%. There is difference between having open options, and dating based on preferences. Not just preferences but preferences that excludes your own history.
Who finds love by shopping for a type. No wonder his relationships don’t last.
“Don’t question what I like… just support me”. This sounds like that cheating boyfriend who makes the relationship all about himself and it sounds like Chad wants a push over on board regardless of the situation. I’m with whoever said we need to boycott all users. Chad could take himself and his thinking to the “others”. When it comes down it, they’re going to let him know where he stands anyway. Puppet.
No problem bruh AND when or if there is a race war and Our preference is to only hold down our own and let you self hating sell outs get snuffed out by the enemy don’t get offended.
And by the way I am a Black MAN who’s married to a beautiful Dark Black woman. I just find it sad when my people make it in the entertainment field as hard as it is to get into and turn around and give it all back to them. Whoopi, MJ (c’mon them kids ARE not his) and the list goes on and on. I love to see beautiful, successful Black couples like Will and Jada or Jay and Bey.
@Dee,
AMEN DEE!
Let him do him but black woman don’t watch his show. He is talking about what is the big deal because nicca you are selling a product not for everyday life but for entertainment. If he does not feel that you are important enough then reflect to him the same favor, just don’t watch his chit. We need to start to revisit our power as the consumer, choice or don’t choice to be envolved or apart of the BS.
I get annoyed when folks compare women like Whoopi to Ocho. Do black men uplift women who look like Whoopi? Do black women lift up men who look like Ocho. Be for real and don’t pretend there is an equivalency there when it’s not. Black men Ocho’s color have way more options among the opposite sex than women of Whoopi’s aesthetic.
