[release]GLAAD, the Black AIDS Institute and the National Black Justice Coalition are really not happy with the ladies of "The View," taking out a full page ad in Variety blasting them for their ignorance. On the June 22 episode, Sherri Sheperd and co-host D.L. Hughley said that closeted black men are to blame for increased HIV rates among straight black women. Hughley said, "When you look at the prevalence of HIV in the African American community, it's primarily young women who are getting it from men who are on the down low." But GLAAD and, you know, science disagree.
Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, said, "We have looked to see what proportion of infections [among African American women] is coming from male partners who are bisexual and found there are actually relatively few." He notes that the infections more often come from unsafe drug use. GLAAD demanded an on-air apology after the show aired, but since that has yet to be issued, they've taken their outrage to the press.
The ad, published yesterday, says, "When 'The View' talks about these kinds of issues, people listen. And there's a responsibility that comes with that." It calls for the show to correct their record, and provide sources of accurate information for all their viewers. Then again, if you're taking your health information from "The View", it might already be too late for you.

"The View" is retarded shitpile which is only making television worse, and now this gave me even more reason to call it that. I mean, seriously, they're blaming Bis/Gays for most HIV cases in black women...
So I don't even have to sleep around, I get AIDS as soon as I think about dicks?
Oh wait, I'm white, I'm fine.
Holy shit why do people even believe these things?

The ladies on The View are idiots and generally so are the people that regularly tune into them
You would think the whole BC/AD thing would be a hint.

At least the women on the British equivalent ("Loose Women") stay away from politics and seem to be reasonably pleasant. Although they are still dry, cackling cantankerous she-devils.

It was just that one chick who I'm guessing only believes in the Bible.
You could probably ask her about evolution and she'd start throwing holy water on you.

It's not that great being white. After all, you have to hang around with other white people. :v:

I dunno I have friends from different races.
Am I doing it wrong?
Saddest thing about shit like this, is that there is obviously a demand for the show else they wouldn't put it out anymore.
Makes you wonder who watches that kind of shit on a regular basis and comes back for more. Then you realise those people have the power to vote...

Actually, no. Mesopotamia is the area that encompass modern day Iraq and Iran, and was around before Jesus or even Israel I believe.
On topic: What do you expect from a group of the dumbest cunts in America?

Does anyone trust a bunch of fat old ladies for scientific advice?
