Gleerific Ghetto Girls

Glee was fantastic  last night. Constant Craving is playing in my mind right now. Do you all have a radio station in your head ? I know I do. And how about that Finn and his version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...I didnt like Glee at first. In fact I did not get into it until my sister bought Glee for Wii Volume One. Now we have Volume Two. I love Volume 2 even more than the first one because the songs are more challenging.  My girls have figured out how to get the highest score without even trying. Sometimes we just dance to ICE ICE Baby and Cant Touch This. My girls informed me that Im good at singing "boy songs" Although my speaking voice is high and child like, my singing voice is deeper and I cannot hit those high notes. Although when Im in the shower, I belt it out like a champ. The only thing I do not like about Glee, is the way they stereotype Mercedes. Mercedes is as cute as can be. Pretty  girl and her voice is spectacular. However they always have to make the heavy set brown girls act like hood rats. "Oh there better be some changes up in here..." Not every heavy set brown girl is ghetto. There is nothing wrong with being ghetto. However,  it doesnt always fit. Whenever the dance scenes come up,  Santana and Britney are front and center.  Mercedes is in the back...She doesnt have a love interest nor is she viewed as sexy. Bull crap. What does this teach my girls. They have dark skin and they certainly  are not skinny. (they take that after mama ). Are they going to grow up feeling that they are not pretty ? They dont deserve a handsome man ? I see these same stereotypes on the Disney Channel. My girls love the Disney Channel. Who are the ones considered pretty: the skinny girls with long hair.
As a little girl I used to walk around with a towel on  my head, pretending to have long hair. My girls dont do that. They are very pleased with themselves right now, but I do not want them to ever feel like they are not good enough. I would like to a see a thick girl who is confident, smart, and sexy on  a sitcom. Vanessa Huxtable is a good example. We need more Vanessa Huxtables on sitcoms these days !
