They are portraying themselves this way. They do not see it as negative. You do.
Yes, but MTV and BET are awful things. lol The whole "Cryme Tyme" stealing thing, though, as I understand it, is because they're black. They're incredibly cliche 2-dimensional non-characters, cashing in on a stereotype that is negative, whether you think so or not. And I can understanding you not being bothered by it, because it doesn't effect you -- hell, it doesn't really effect me. But as a writer and an entertainer, it drives me up the wall to see the same rehashed no-thought garbage again and again, and now it's on the only show I really remember to watch.

It promotes ignorance and theivery, and it's all based around skin color. They're basically the Wayans Brothers of the WWE.
