TAKING A STAND!!! Rachel True . . . The CURLY HAIRED ACTRESS From The Show HALF-AND-HALF Says The CW Network Owes Her REPARATIONS!!!! (Do You AGREE . . . Or Is This CRAZY TALK)

: MediaTakeOut.com learned that actress Rachel True is speaking OUT against the CW network. The rant all started when she began criticizing the CW's new show High Society - where the reality stars openly call Black people the N Word.

She then claimed that the CW owed the "black shows" some "reparations." She further claimed that those shows (such as Girlfriends, Everyone Hates Chris, and The Game) "built" the CW network.

Not sure about reparations, but the CW really needs to put on more Black shows . . . have you seen the TERRIBLE RATINGS their current shows are getting . . .

uniqueSag

THE CW USED ALL THESE BLACK ACTORS AND ACTRESSES TO GET THEIR NETWORK UP AND RUNNING THEN SH*TTED ON EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.


chocoluv97

SHOULD HAVE WENT TO BET LMAO


dearmissyvette

she's right! && CW sucks! i love tha game, girlfriends and everybody hates chris.....they were the only good shows they had,,,they need to cancel the whole dang network!


sweetkait

Hmmm ... Maybe


ChunkyBunky25

it isn't the first network to do that, welcome to america people


SchoolTeacher7

She may have to deal with that one another way. Reparations? All they really owe you is whatever is in the contract that you worked for. But the only way you can get anything extra is through a lawsuit. And on what grounds? You can also protest the network or the TV show. And we use the word so much as black people, it's even used as a "term of endearment". That's why the show is still on the air......no one has complained about it!


LADIVA9

Getting desperate and talking ish.


mazrules

Well UPN did get most of heir rating from the black shows, there was an entire line up that put them on the map. WB was always known to be on the racist side, remember that shuckin and jivin frog! When they combined, they didn't really promote the black shows and they intergraded and the characters got lighter and lighter. Look at girlfriends! Reparations, that's a bit extreme.


regalode_losdios

This silly broad is just broke. Personally I hate those silly azz sitcoms and reality tv as well. Even if the CW did have more "black shows", ninjaz would still get shidded on. They still want "black folk" to use "ebonics", make jokes all the damn time, have some drama, and other BS. Its always the same shyt with a diff toilet. I only watch educational shows, some moviesn and porn. This broad just needs a job. And no one wants to hire her in hollywood. Like everybody woke up this morning saying "you know, that rachel true girl really needs some reparations and some acting gigs" lmbao


17th_And_Peachtree

GIRLFRIEND, LET IT GO!

SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE! MOVE ON AND GET A JOB WITH ANOTHER NETWORK...

THIS IS A NON-ISSUE.

NEXT!


Mrv654

Yawn. This chick doesn't date Black men and judging from her blog, all her friends are white. But when she wants some money she wants to channel Malcom. Reparations? Keep movin ho you aint no friend to us.


cnpolk

@deezi901- half and half. movie buffy the vampire slayer...she's been around a while. too bad about the high society crap, never heard of it.


YoungYacht

I'm tired of that mop on her fukkin head, plus she's fat and square-shaped.. Rachel Squarepants.

O yeh i would still beat.


greenguy24

who???



angelaheiressnyc

I would like to know what this "High Society" show is all about? Never heard of it but I do understand where she's coming from but typing all that on Twitter? won't help the least bit. What she should be trying to do is have a meeting with the execs over @ CW IMO.


angelaheiressnyc

Besides,why wasn't she complaining when she had that show back then? just saying...


Tialove

she telling the truth ,i did'nt know she was on twitter.i will follow..Knowone watches the cw anyway


tiplite2004

She wasn't complaining when she was getting paychecks! And she always seem like an Oreo on that show! Move on with ur life, I haven't seen her in a movie since craft!


Tialove

Thats the problem with you ppl on here you don;t listen!!!!!1


she45nam

now this is funny. She said she thinks they owe the black shows some money for building up the cw network...and you black people get on here and say they dont owe the black show shet. SMDH @ yall


tiplite2004

P.S... Stop rocking those ugly Go-Ho boots too


Beautiful_Lily

The Game was the [EXPLETIVE]!!! I knw her..And I'm not going to disrespect her either cause she maybe telling the truth and as a black community ppl need to take certain things more seriously instead of worrying who she is. It's deeper than that if that [EXPLETIVE] is going on. But I can't expect everyone to not be ignorant.


she45nam

still shakin my head @ yall. she said they owe the black shows some money...and yall turned that into an attack ON HER. Yall support the white network and they dont even put no black shows on. SMDH


carmenjones

I miss her show HALF&HALF! The last truly great, CLASSY, black show that didn't get the respect it deserved


carmenjones

Tiplite you show your dumbazz-ness yet again, of course she seemed like an oreo on the show, it was apart of her character! It's called acting you worthless piece of chimp dung!


onlymypeoplecount

I never liked that show. the only time it captured my attention was when dude told her he didn't like her cause she had the mannerisms of a honkey...the show more or less reminded me of how a different world was .. the lisa bonet episodes.. HELLA FOUL


she45nam

rachel is right. new networks always start out with all black shows and then as soon as they get big offa us...they go all white.


MEDIAclub25

I believe there's some truth to that,this is a major issue in hollywood. Why are the Black actors bringing in the ratings but not making the amount of money as white actors. Can anyone say Sharecropping days are over. Come on now.



Lousharp

I agree with her. I been said UPN was black owned then I guess the CW white owned bought it and cancelled 80% of the black shows and put on hella white shows. I dont watch nothing on that channel no more except Tyra and Chris and I hope none of those white shows make it.


tiplite2004

@carmenjones... Trick come and get ur painties u left at my house.. Next time wash ur puss and I won't kick u out

TravelAgent

She's right about one thing: the CW began with an initial strong black sitcom presence. I thought it would be the network that gave black shows a mainstream platform. But then, they began to cancel all the black shows. I guess they wanted to go in another direction, literally. I see why she's upset. They got rid of good black sitcoms with substance and replaced them with garbage.


keyboard

SHE'S NOT GONNA GET IT SO I SUGGEST SHE DON'T HOLD HER BREATH. YA CAN'T GET EVERYTHING YA WANT......


Mrv654

LOL Tiplite tell her what up! Carmen saying her 'character' was an oreo. Try going to Rachel True's blog and you'll see her 'character' wasn't an oreo, it was the oreo of the actor coming through into the character!


Verbalism

I don't know about reparations either but she does have a point regarding the black shows being the groundwork for the network.


SupaMYLF

...Team RACHEL all the way...Speak the truth and shame the DEVIL...


regalode_losdios

Okay so she's talking about black shows need more money. That's fine. Just don't come out after the shows aree cancelled. Do that shid when your agent is negotiating your contract. I bet the execs @ viacom or TW or whoever owns CW are laughing there azzes off if they're even paying atenccion


Bigryde

That show had the best looking women on it, her,her sister,her mother,and Aunt Rachel from Family Matters. But F&$* the CW. That whole network can go lick rocks. The only time I watch the CW is when The Bulls are playing and now that sucking so bad now I don't have to watch especially on the CW. F@#$'em!


DMVbabe89

The cw nite time shows r sum [EXPLETIVE] that vampire [EXPLETIVE] fake ass twilight like come on they take the game hates Chris and girlfriends off n put dumb shows on n I agree cw does owe them sumthin it's sad tv these days I only watch Maury Steve wilkos judge mathis n maybe Tyra king of queens n then the cw time is over I'm on to the next channel cuz there shows r lame


imsickoftvnradio

I only watch old sitcoms anyway at night before I go to bed so I am not sure about what she is saying.

My tagline states: I'm sick of tv n radio. :-)


imsickoftvnradio

They have been airing few blacks for years, more people need to speak out on it so kudos to her for this bold move.


DeeLaLa

I deeply feel sorry for her she better go find a new show.



bourgie_girl

What is she talking about? And Girlfriends didn't BUILD the CW...more like UPN.


D8vyBo1Dr3

Man will this broad ever get a new hairstyle?

it's gonna be a tough fight for her to get that bread tho.


hoeboe

Rachel is not dumb. She knows there's no way CW is not going to give her any reparations, Just as Rev. Al knew he wouldn't become President. Publicly the point got heard. Just as President Obama had klan organizations to support his ideas and help him win. why? At the end of the day money is the cure to all things, no matter what business you're in. a solid FOUNDATION (black shows). CW executives aren't laughing, they're hoping blk screen writers start presenting new shows. In 2yrs there will be more blk shows on those net works and MTO will be trying to still the credit like always.


faundyb

THAT'S HOW SHE FEELS YOU CAN'T TELL HER HOW TO FEEL


chaperel85

where UPN shows first all but chris and when they combined UPN and the WB girlfriends only lasted a year and they canceled it


Foxy90210

She looks a drugged out mess! Girl go finish smoking your joint!


Atlgagul

agree!


shugahips

well well


Tastysis

Wow that's phucked! I really like that show the game! They play the syndicated episodes all the time on BET now! Ever since BET was sold to MTV, the produce crap shows!


Prudyy

WOW!


Tastysis

The Vampire Diares, Supernatural, Gossip Girl, and other crap needs the boot!


vermoo

Fhuk what Rachel True says MTO! Get ya'lls shyt together before you try and talk about someone. The title is EVERYBODY Hates Chris...not EVERYONE Hates Chris! Damn shame......


Esteban

I liked High Society. Good insight into crazy rich white folks. There is one character who dislikes blacks. jews, and gays. She is shown in a very bad light on the show so it is not like they are glamorizing her. The best is the crazy ass gay guy whose partner in crime is black.


sizzlingsizzle

ummm CW is not responsible for what the people on reality shows say, duh


Lockstress

See...this is what trivializes the conceptual idea of "reparations". Now...what needs repairing is the dry hair!

Yes the black shows did make the network. Do we not have another voice in Hollywood outside of Tyler Perry??? I am so sick of coon-tv. I hate that phuckin show! ugh!



HeavyweightHEMI

I love Rachel True her sexy ass should get what ever she wants.


Debo184

She' sexy with her big curly hair;-)


dlovely77

YES I SAW THAT WACK A$$ SHOW.... CRAZY B**** TALKING ABOUT SHE SAYS THE N WORD... BOYCOTT THAT SHOW!!! THAT GIRL IS NOBODY SHE'S NOT IMPORTANT AND SHE WANTS ATTENTION...


BigNat137

she is fine oh mary jane i would give up anything for you


Karimah

I agree the Black shows made them and I agree they need more shows but I'm not sure of reparations either.


tuff-tony

there's enough blacks with the capitol and ingenuity to have our own media outlets..stop runnin to whitey and do for self!


akademics7

Keep a Ho in Arrears


GucciBella

WHO THE FUKK WATCHES THE CW?? OH EXCEPT WHEN MAURY&TYRA'S TOP MODEL COMES ON. AND TYRA GONE WHITE 2 SO I REALLY DON'T FUKK'S WIT THAT 2 MUCH. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN WATCH'N THAT STATION SINCE THE WAYAN'S BROTHERS. I LIKE HER THOUGH SHE WAS SO GOOD IN BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER& THE CRAFT. SHE SHOULD JUST GET ANOTHER SHOW.AND THROW ROTTEN EGGS AT THE CEO'S CAR&HOUSE,PRANK CALL HIM&HIS WIFE,LEAVE SOME PIG SHYIT ON THEIR DOOR STEP&LEAVE.


Bkzdabest

Where the hell has she been?


akademics7

Turn Ho Ends into Dividends


coreydemar

smh! bitch just looks thirsty


Amani

I DONT KNO ABOUT REPARATIONS, BUT HALF AND HALF WAS A GOOD A.S.S SHOW..BIG DEE DEE AND PHYLIS WERE SOOOO FUNNY! THE GAME WAS A FUNNY A.S.S SHOW TOO! CW JUS USED THEM TO GET A BLK AUDIENCE, THEN JUS KICKED THEM TO THE CURVE! SMH


rayne30

i started watching this show wen it was off the air already/ i did not know that but i loved her character out of the whole cast..so that goes to show that she is due money they are still playing that show every sat,


rayne30

on top of that she is soooo beautiful.


PrettyDiva83

Does someone need a hug?

Ciao, PrettyDiva83



rayne30

this little Thing Media Take Out just did about her makes me not want to come to this site anymore clearly she is making a fvckin statement and im tired of good actors and actress being blacklist in fake ass Hollywood and actors and actress that are not that good getting screen time!


NotyaAverage

Damn Mary Jane u wasn't gettin enough shine? Find another gig Ma!


rayne30

rayne30

BonnieBlockGirls

We was talking about this the other day how networks like upn start off with black shows and then after they get their ratings up, bye bye black shows here comes the white bullshit.


emmettmays85

PrettyDiva83 baby i need a hug


MrUnforgettableTrav

You know it's funny how many of you are dissing her instead of digesting the truth she is speaking on. Punk azz CW network has shut down all the best shows on television with no conviction (Girlfriends, Everybody Hates Chris, Half-and-Half, the Game, etc.) and kept all the b.s. shows that has the same dumb azz, unoriginal themes. And you clowns want to talk about her, her standpoint, etc? That's a damn shame. I'm goin with Rachel on this one because those CW punks screwed over the black shows that made them who they are. Ungrateful, two timing ***** - fill in the blank!


fatmeat69

Get another job then. Stuff happens.


johnc

Is she on drugs.


DramaDiva

Can a non-black person please call me the N word, so I can have a reason to release my sociopath/scizo side. I will gladly go in handcuffs, if caught. I have never heard of High Society show but I will be on the look out so I can see this shyt for myself. I don't think Rachel is crazy, I think the CW is racist and play Blacks outta their money for those shows.


emmettmays85

Bella83 u my baby


she45nam

@clarkthing we all should want our 40 acres and a mule. This country was built on the backs of black slaves. Even if we dont get it....we should still want it.


rayne30

@johnc shut your azz up!go find a hole in die in there!


tnabrotha

she might have a point. caught a glimpse of that show, got some high society hoe on there talking about she dont like black people or gays. smh


MVTB88

I'm actually getting sick of hearing the "N" word on T.V. an it's no expectable. An people wonder why white people are using the word so freely.



rayne30

@clarkthink have you ever watched the show??


rayne30

you know i walk to school while others ride there bike sometimes i take my car but i only live a block or two from campus i live on a street that has three frat houses and i managed not to get involved in the reterict..on fri-sat-different story looool..hahahaaa


rayne30

MVtb88..WHAT ABOUT NUDITY>.IN MOVIES??THEREs ALOT OF THAT


rayne30

Honestly i think everyone on this blog/fvckin fake azz women need to get a life 1/2 if the ppl on here are either fat out of shape and more then likely cannot get a pers(man or women)


rayne30

lol@clarkthink


ko69

Shes right.. How could u turn on those who helped u build success? If it wasnt for the actors, there wouldnt be a show. I think its a shame also, how some feel that calling blacks the n word is acceptable & cute. I wouldnt be cool with that either......Employers need to understand that ur employees are the ones who make ur business function, so when ur trying to half step & not pay them fair salary, it causes nothing but confusion. Start paying these people what their worth


cmb94knows

she just wants money


BabyBrwneyez

I MISS GIRLFRIENDS, THE GAME AND HALF AND HALF. ALL THE GOOD STUFF HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH BULL.


rayne30

@clarkthink im indian and black and my family told me white men came on horses and took are land? my dad is black and my mom is Blackfoot and Cherokee pure.


lostblackqueen

that's how the newest networks got started. put on a bunch of black shows then when the get enough viewers they cancel the black shows and don't replace them with new black shows. we get used everytime


Onyx_Star

She's right. Every network does it. It's like, no black shows on the major networks.


rayne30

i was talking to one of my roomies last night he is egyptian and i told him we are an endangered species(human)meaning Indian and egypt)so he said to me do we want to have babies...


kevlar_Logic

Damn Rachel, i was just thinking about you today...lol

I been feeling you for a long time...ever since the Craft!


Jordache87

When will black people learn, lol. Ms True probably felt like one of the chosen ones when she got that show, but eventually whitey, arabs or asians will kick nigros to the curb because blacks don't own squat. Big ups to TVOne, keep on representing.


LJBronxBoro

Big ups to TVone and Centric channel for those that don't know



CunningANDStunning

I agree. She is actually SAYING SOMETHING. Before it was The CW, it was UPN. Which (in my book) stood for: Under Paid Negro. & just like she said, they reeled in the niggz w/ Girlfriends, The Game, Half&Half, & All of Us. Then, they DROPPED all the nigg@ shows & started promoting Veronica Mars & Gossip Girl & all that other CW (cr@cker, white) bullshit. This chic is makin a valid point. But LIKE ALWAYS niggz FAIL to see the BIGGER picture. SMH


kekedeeky

as soon as upn turned into the cw and combined with wb, you've been hard pressed to find a sign of any black show. i been stopped messing with them.


nickiicky

IF U HGET HOME LATE OR HAVE CABLE THEN U WUDNT BE CONCERNED WITH WHHAT A [EXPLETIVE] CW NETWORK WAS DOIN

LIKE WHO WATCHES TV ANYWAY


ladybug4

GOTTA AGREE WITH HER, WHEN DEY WERE D WB DEY DID D SAME THING 2 "D WAYANS BROTHERS" AND "PARENTHOOD", DEN UPN GOT OFF ON "MOESHA", "EVE" AND D LIKES AND AS SOON AS DEY BUILT UP A REP AND FOLLOWN DEY CANCELLED DESE SHOWS LIKE IT WAS OK. NONE OF EM, AND I DO MEAN NONE OF EM GOT A FAREWELL SHOW. I REFUSE 2 WAS D CW NOW B/C OF HOW DEY DID "D GAME", DEY HAV NO BLK SHOWS, AND MOVING TYRA 2 D WB DAMN SHO DONT COUNT.


MYMINDISNAAASTY

REPRERATION MY AZZZ

BYTCH

TAKE THE BEYONCE WEACE OFF YA BALD HEADED SELF AND TAKE YO AZZ TO COLLEGE..LEARN SOMETHING


nunya_bizness

I agree with Rachel.


strawcream

Attorney is what she need...


fairest1

High Society premiered Wednesday night after ANTM; In the 1st 5 minutes of the show some straw head exclaimed that she uses the 'N' word & she doesn't think anythings wrong with it!!! I turned it off Immediately. However it is true that the CW got their footing off of black folks hands down. The honest part is they still use all those re runs at un-GODly hours throughout the night. CW can't hardly pay black folks reparations back. Ms. True had a point. Tyra ought to be shamed; Cause her black a.ss is the only reason the CW is still raking in ratings.


missroni29

Ain't this biatch alwayz been a lil off


12LADYPANTHERS

I AGREE 110% ! BEFORE THE CW THERE WAS UPN... THEY HAD SHOWS LIKE JAMIE FOXX THE HUGLEY'S THE PARKERS BRANDY THEN THEY ONE ON ONE EVE HALF & HALF GIRLFRIENDS THEN THEY TOOK THEM OFF & HAD THE GAME & EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS. BLACK SHOWS MADE THE CW, BUT GAVE US NO RESPECT, BUT TRUST THEY WILL SOON SEE THEY WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WITHOUT THE BLACK VIEWERS!!!


spliff

I think that she is just joking with the Reparations part. On a serious note, she is 100% right though white people have been using blacks from rock and roll time. Let us make something popular, dance, rap r&b,fashion,slang's etc, then they weasel their way in take over and like that good bye blacks.


rae

I AGREE WITH HER 200%! CW IS THE MOST RACIST CHANNEL ON TV AND WE SHOULD BOYCOTT (SORRY TYRA)! THEY HAVE EXPLOITED BLACK PEOPLE FOR YEARS, AND CANCELLED SOME EXTREMELY POPULAR SHOWS (I'M STILL CRUSHED OVER MANY)! SOMETHING NEEDS TO B DONE!! ITS A SHAME!!! SMDH


CeeCe

Yeah she is RiGHT!! UpN always had on BLACk SHOWs! TO DO ANYWAY WITH BLACK SHOWS AND BLACK PEOPLE JUST REALLY SUCKS!!tHERE ARE NO SHOWS WITH BLack actoes right now!! it is a damn shame!!


TiffiniWho

I hated that half and half show!


essence_262002

I just love that show!!!!!!!!!!



CaliRez

Research is key.. Cw is a network owned cbs, paramount and warner brothers. UPN and The WB, ceased independent operations. Although upn had success with moesha, the parkers and girlfriends they also became popular with star treck, Veronica mars and smack down. The wb had success with shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 7th Heaven and dawson's creek. Check out wiki for the whole story.


da-don1

I dont even care about this [EXPLETIVE]


ji2010

SHE'S RIGHT. HER POINT BEING HOW IN THE HELL IS THE CW GOING TO BUILD THEIR REP OFF THE BACKS OF OUR TALENTED BLACK PEOPLE AND THEN PUT A SHOW ON THAT IS REFERENCING TO THESE SAME BLACK PEOPLE'S PEOPLE AS NI((ERS


HeavenSent84

She's right.


ilan2endi

Is that a blunt she pullin out her damn hair?


douknow

I agree with her. and now the CW is crappy as hell, with all their new white shows that onlly relate to young white people. and Black female actresses are being replace for latina actresses who look black, but not really black. WTF!!example! Zoe saladana!! Bull [EXPLETIVE]!!


brutelyhonest100

I agree. She is actually SAYING SOMETHING. Before it was The CW, it was UPN. Which (in my book) stood for: Under Paid Negro. & just like she said, they reeled in the niggz w/ Girlfriends, The Game, Half&Half, & All of Us. Then, they DROPPED all the nigg@ shows & started promoting Veronica Mars & Gossip Girl & all that other CW (cr@cker, white) bullshit. This chic is makin a valid point. But LIKE ALWAYS niggz FAIL to see the BIGGER picture. SMH ...... I AGREE 100%.THE SHOWS THEY HAVE ON NOW ARE BULLSH@T.IM SOOO TIRED OF SEEING UGLY DISRESPECTFUL WHITE SLUTS WITH MONEY RUNNING AROUND.
