We have to admit, this new woman makes some pretty valid points. Was the original petition because we didn’t want others to see what goes on in the black community or because WE didn’t want to see it? You can sign the new petition to get Shawty Lo’s show back on the air here.
Oxygen Network: Put Shawty Lo and Baby Mamas back 
on the air!
Shawty Lo, is in fact a father figure that most young black men today coming from a similar past lifestyle and environment, should mimic in his parental role. With 11 children, which are all clothed, fed, housed and loved in everyway that a parent should love, protect and provide for their child. As well as being a supportive and active partner in the co-parenting of his children with their mothers.
Everyone has a past, especially in hip-hop, however how many take the reins and put their life in motion for change?
Rap music came from the streets of Black culture, songs of struggle and strength. Before the masses came in with their auto tunes and pop divas, hip-hop was the voice of Black America, allowing young men and women in the concrete jungle a poetic voice, that allowed others into their world. Artists such as Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC and Public Enemy paved the way for today’s chart toppers. Rhymes about what their daily life endured, with everything from teen pregnancy, racism to political movements.
A man is supposed to take care of his children, and the mother (s), weather it be singular or plural.
So here’s the question, would you rather see 11 children struggle with mothers on welfare? Or watch a man support his children? Does it come down to the race card?
Other networks that currently showcase polygamy, promiscuity, and alcoholism, are on the air, with multiple mothers and magnitudes of children. So what’s the difference? Because Shawty Lo is black and a rapper? Yes, I said it he’s black, ( just in case you didn’t already know ).
Shows in comparison such as Sister Wives, show 4 mothers and I can’t even count how many kids, one could make the argument that TLC promotes “polygamy “, one could argue that shows such as “Bad Girls Club” promotes “violence” amongst women, or how about the infamous “Jersey Shore” for 5 seasons we watch young men and women drink til they puke and have a magnitude of sexual whoring behavior, making the argument that MTV promotes “alcoholism and unhealthy sexual behavior” , but the difference is their white! Come on America!
Support Shawty Lo!

Very WEAK argument, and anyone who supports this (of any race) is an idiot.
