IMO I think the show "Cops" in the past what?? 20 something years have shown more negative stereotypes than WSHH. I actually enjoy watching these fights. @ This week's Fight Compilation of the Week. Personally I like watching street fights and I imagine myself in that predicament and what I would do. BJJ skills? Punch and run? Who/what to look out for in case of sucker punches. So to me it's entertainment and educational!
but as somebody on the last page said, a site like this doesnt give black people a good rep. Say you have some white people from a small town where no black people live. It may be silly, but I know people like this who get their information solely from the media. I may say its dumb for them, but hey, theyre still white and not being looked at like criminals. So they can be wrong , but at least black people should be in an uproar for how we are shown. You see us us on the First 48 as fools who kill each other and then confess to the police like idiots, and you go online and see black people dragging each other out of the house for a beatdown. Why would anybody be ok with negative portrayal. Q isnt in it for anybody but himself. He's exploiting people for his own personal gain. If he were an investment banker exploiting people etc, everyone would already hate him. I mean, black people already get a bad rap from how we are portrayed on the news and television, having a website that is just non stop buffoonery isnt going to help either.
I've never really visited the website, but I suppose the best way to shut it down, or at least tame the content is by boycotting those companies using WSHH to advertise their products. The first step would be to study in depth how online advertising actually works. For example, I'm in the Bay Area which means when I go onto WSHH, I come across contextual advertisements marketing products and services related to and/or located in the Bay. I imagine this is the case for someone accessing the site from Chicago. Basically, you'd have to figure out how to target those local companies advertising via WSHH. But there are also non-place specific companies advertising on the site. For example, ebay, fed-ex, At&T, and the like. Using the idea of purchasing power and through collective action, you could gather enough signatures, present it to these companies and tell them that you'll boycott their products if they don't stop advertising on WSHH. You might target the record companies who's artists are uploaded onto the site. You could also target adBrite, which seems to be the main source used to solicit advertisements. Websites like WSHH depend on online revenue. When those sites are dependent on advertisements, they become vulnerable to boycotts. But its up to you make it happen. Just a few thoughts.
are white people gonna complain about this video? for the record, i'm not white http://www.worldstarhipho...p?v=wshhc8FqrtqFd2oejUtu
Anybody have a sense for valuation? They seem to have 2 primary revenue streams The standard ad revenue and the content providers who are paying a fee to be viewed on the platform? Anything else? I'm going to check out their unique monthly visitors on comScore....see If i can get some hard numbers.
THANK YOU!!!! It's been that way for decades, way before WSHH. It's everywhere, we are protrayed in a way that's so negative. Like you have to go out of your way just to let people know that black people are not like what they see in the media. We shouldn't have to do that in the first place, I shouldn't have to hear "you're not like most black guys" whenever I first meet someone. That's just the way it is though. It's not right, but we have to change the way we're shown for others to change the way they think about us. And if you believe people don't group all black people (or any races) together as a whole, you live in a fantasy land. Not saying it's right but it's human nature.
similar website that whites and latinos visit on the regular that shows their people in a negative faction every 4-6 vids...? i cant think of any.
worldstar is undiscriminating in what they display as far as demographics...black folks just tend to do more on camera *shrugs*
and it's black folk that are doing the filming, at least majority of the time. it's not like this white dude owner of WSHH goes around filming these incidents
arent you dominican, famb? you think the higher ups, or the people that are IN CONTROL arent going to lump you in with us? WSHH perpetuates many stereotypes about black people acting a fool. I respect what you are, but you look more like me than like them, and that's all they care about. to be real, a cop's not gonna stop and ask what race... they're just going to go upside your head.
^ Yall give Ninja the blues with the self-hate man. My goodness. But yea, are you dudes really asking for the innanet to be policed? Yea ok, let it happen and how much crying you dudes do. Cut it out.
If you want your internet monitored, download NetNanny or get an AOL 5.0 disc from the Post Office and set your account security level to 13y/o. And I'll admit as much as I hate it and generally wish it didn't exist and don't want to support it, I go for the booty videos, especially the one with Babiicece and that other female. I had to save that one on my phone and tablet and ipod touch so I always have it with me But aside from that, %%*@ them &*[email protected]
