The People have spoken. Oxygen network has pulled the plug on Shawty Lo’s Oxygen reality show. The show which was entitled “All My Babies Mama’s featured ATL rapper Shawty Lo, his 10 children, and eight of his babies mama’s. Now, I’m not sure what the premise of this show was suppose to be -but it clearly struck a nerve in most people [who were offended and outraged from the propaganda of it all] and thanks to an online petition by Sabrina Lamb who acquired 38,000 signatures to help remove the airing of the show.
According to Sabrina the cancellation of the show was in efforts to prevent the stereotypes of “certain demographic groups”.
“I love that the people who’ve signed the petition are from all backgrounds, ages, and countries. This one elderly white man wrote me and said even he was tired of the stereotypical images of black people.’’
“This show is about more than a rapper and his girlfriends. This is a show about kids who had no choice in how they came into the world. This show sets them up to be ridiculed and made fun of. None of us should be OK with that.’’
Here’s what Sabrina said in response to the cancellation news of the show [which Oxygen plans to release an official statement any minute now]
My entire statement will be announced tomorrow (outlining all of our victories) at the press conference and posted here at 12:00 noon-ish. Until then, I thank all 38,000 supporters who stood up for our children and said, “Enough Is Enough!” Oxygen Media awoke a sleeping GIANT!!
Although Oxygen was forced to cancel the show [thanks to all those that signed the petition], it first defended it’s action to air the show saying:
“It was not meant to be a stereotypical representation of everyday life for any one demographic or cross section of society.’’
Yeah-okay. Thankfully, this show is removed. Power To the People!
