Here is a blind item from Gatecrasher at NY Daily News:

Which reality-show clogged network had to change its casting procedures after a racist internal policy was leaked? Producers had an informal ban on considering cast members who were “too black.” They claimed it was because darker skin tones were hard to pick up on camera.

Well so much for thinking it’s VH1.

  • Kristyn

    Wow, yall r crazy

  • nahnah

    Oh yeah? So where does technological advancement come in place?

  • Angel_Minded

    I saw this blind item on another site and the answer is MTV. It was w/ regards to their series, ‘The Real World,’ which is why this upcoming season is gonna be predominately black. Holla!

  • lola

    It’s probably Bravo.

  • nahnah

    Make up?

    So then does that mean they have to get rid of Flav? He’s about the “Too Blackest” man on TV anyway.

  • JROCK (A.K.A DROCK'S N THEM MAMA)

    HOW THE HELL THE CAMERA KEEP PICKING UP WESLEY SNIPES AND TAYE DIGGS BLACK AZZES???

  • Just Sayin

    Plus that’s an ugly ass cake.

    Flav is on the dark side. He’s givin my Blackberry a run for it’s money.

  • coco loco

    i was about to say BET

  • Just Sit And Be Pretty

    He’s so damn scary…

  • tj

    I wouldn’t be so quick to say MTV. THe reality “clogged” clue makes me think female or fashion such as project runway and Queer eye which seem like more of a fit than Real World who had the really really dark guy from Las Vegas, Alton. I would go with Bravo!

  • Willis

    CHECK OUT TMZ FOR A PICTURE OF KELLY ROWLANDS HAIRY PITS!!! SH*T IS DISGUSTING!!!!

    Can’t be flavor of love. Flavor is to black for them to say that.

  • Tickle Me Swellmo

    My guess was MTV or BET. You know black people are colorist against other black people. Light you’re alright, Brown stick around, Black step back.

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    POPPYCOCK! i see flav’s ugly ass just fine! and he’s blacker than midnight

  • cha cha

    1st

  • Vito

    I bet the folks at VH1 are wiping the sweat from their foreheads and thinking “I’m glad they can’t say it’s us!”

  • Lili

    I was thinking Bravo, but MTV is a good guess too.

    Both their prime time slots are occupied by reality shows.

    If it is MTV, then they forgot something… they don’t cast “too black WOMEN.” The men from Real World can be as black as they want, like Alton and Tyree (sp). But when it comes to the sistas, they go to Coral, Irulan, and Arissa. Still it is all too sad!

    Oh, and I almost died at this:

    “i was about to say BET”

    Someone is a fool for that one. lol

  • Anonymous

    Octavia, unfortunately you are very right.

  • I'm'a drop a dime on that n*gga right there

    BET – that’s why they have rosci’s ghetto yello azz

  • IAmBlackToo

    Everytime I turn around there goes that slave mentality of networks among others that are always trying to turn people of color against each other. I am not dark, but I consider myself as black as Flav or any other dark complexion person of color. GET OVER COLOR. Who cares about the color of my people. Let it go we have bigger fish to fry. All my kids are of a different color with ONE father & frankly my dear I don’t give a d#mn. Get OVER IT MY PEOPLE OF COLOR PLEASE.Pretty is pretty, cute is cute & ugly is ugly & color has nothing to do with it. Open your eyes.
