Black Women have carried Reality TV on their backs since Tami hit the Real World back in 95. It's no secret that Black Women are the stars of Reality TV. Between memes, sound bites and raking in millions of viewers on a weekly basis, Black women are the cornerstone of reality TV. Yet, the Black Women in the field must constantly deal with harsher critiques from critics, the public and their peers, alike. Respectability politcs, tropes of "toxic Black Excellence" and misogynoir, come into play consistently. So, we wanted to take some time to raise up Black Women and thank them for once again being the backbone of yet another American system in this episode.
