Whitney and Bobby Are Ghetto!!


I see anyone can have a tv show these day's! What happened to good quality programming? I like tha fact that we get to see how some rich people like to spend their time and money on foolish things. By the way when "mom and dad" are away who watches over Bobbi Kristina?

I don't think they're ghetto, they're just being real. they're not afraid to act like themselves on tv. reality tv sells because people like realness. they have family to watch their daughter *beep*

I think they are extremely ghetto & this is coming from someone who used to live in the projects AKA ghetto.

If you were paying close attention, you would have noticed bobby and whitney's behavior and language tone down when they were addresing important people. so that proves thast they know how to act when they need to. I speak ebonics, slang, and broken english when I'm around my family and afriends but I speak standard english when I'm talking to whites. people who act like ghetto all the time are the real ghetto one's.

Did this really happen? If so, has anyone seen an internet transcript or somewhere I can see what he said to him? I'm just too curious and I miss the show a lot but like many on this Board, also love watching it.

I should have said that I speak standard english when I feel it's necessary around all races including my own black race. I know that we learned the broken english from whites in the south. that was our 1st english and that's why we speak it like a native language because we lost our original african languages in slavery.

ctcentralinfo, I guess you're talking to someone else because I defended bobby and whitney is my earlier post. I know ebonics ain't a real language, it's just the way a lot of blacks talk so they wanted to put a name on it. I know it's southern whites english but america associates that talk with blacks because blacks everywhere in the USA talk like that(in general) and whites don't.

you're both right. bad statement. I just meant that a lot blacks speak like that as a 1st language because of slavery.

o.k. maybe if we had some unity as a people and started building black industry with all the money we generate as a people, we could eventually get our own 100% black owned tv station and put on intellectual programming.

That was the interview of all interviews!
The woman sounded crazy-extremely crazy!
Wendy is not all that innocent either because I heard her cut people up before, but she made Whitney sound like a mental case.

reply

If they are ghetto at times, why do black people even care? I think some black people are worried about white folks judging us and we need to worry about why we generate 600-800 billion dollars a year and don't have a black corporate america.

I agree w/what my mom said. Bobby didn't make Whitney do anythiny. She acts that way b/c that's who she is, Bobby make her that way. People are in control of themselves. Besides people always wondered how those two got together b/c she was supposedly too good for him and so much better than him. But maybe she's just like him and that's why they are together

[sarcasm]I wonder where they grew up...loooooser.[/sarcasm]

Some of my cousins are from the East Orange/Newark, NJ area, and they went to High School with Whitney Houston...they said she acted kinda crazy back then too...its just when she got famous, she learned how to cover it up by acting professional in the public eye....but...when she started messin with that "stuff" she started acting very very very ignorant...she and bobby just look like 2 true crack heads..(and if you look at some of the shows, they are both high as a kite)!!....its very very sad, i feel sorry for Bobbi Kristina..she doesnt even have 1 sane parent to take care of her.

That aint nuttin but an Ultra Perm!!!!
