Reality TV is still a popular choice of entertainment for millions of people, but when it comes to black women in these shows, is it simply the reprise of Sapphire and Jezebel? (If you're not sure who these characters are, check out the "Mandingos, Mammies, and Jezebels" episode of Blacktivities.) Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss black women's portrayal in reality TV, the "blue monkey" incident on Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta, and the changes they would like to see when it comes to reality TV and black women.

From the local hoodtreprenuers in every black neighborhood in America to the black-owned brands and billionaire CEOs like Jay-Z, black people seem to have a knack for making it do what it do. So why we still ain't got nothing? As a community, we are still behind in ownership and wealth. Shannon, Lisa, and Karen discuss black business, capitalism and the "self-made" man, and our sense of community.
