Since even before Day 1, the issue of race has factored heavily into discourse regarding Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. To hear many tell it, Chad Ochocinco is a race traitor who couldn’t be bothered to host a racially diverse cast on his dating show (black women are in the minority of the 17 women he picked for his show). Essence.com cut right to the chase and asked him about the brewing controversy. Here’s part of Chad’s response: “I deal with all types of women. My mind set is that I think outside the box. I’m all over the place and I want to experience everything. There’s nothing wrong with [Black women] at all. If I did it the way they wanted though, there still would have been something to fuss about. It’s a lose-lose for me because no matter how I do it, there’s going to be an argument. I did Wendy Williams yesterday and I said for those who are offended about it, I apologize. But if you ever run into me, you’d date me…I’ve never heard other races complaining about their men dating outside of their race besides Black people. I hate that we continue to pull that race card.” “Pulling the race card” isn’t exactly the same thing as forming a dialogue when one sees fit, but OK! The important thing is that we’re talking about this. We’re all trying to get through this reality show together.

He's cool (everyone over at Bourgy hates him) but his catchphrases, "child please" and "kiss the baby" are so dumb. Like does he not realize how gay that makes him sound?

lol^^He said it's like saying it's over (or something like that) :/
I like what he said about the race thing though. When I saw only a few black girls on the show there would be peeps talking crap. If this was the vh1 board every other thread woukd have been about it.........so annoying.

It really is tiring and boring. Especially when there is clearly no racism. I can't stand Ocho though, he is dull, dumb and a douche.

Yup, show sucks. And I thought Frank's Love show was bad.....
This is low on my list but it's a first...the lighting! I have never seen a show where it was so wrong...and to think a professional got paid to do that.

^^AMEN. I think it's so stupid for people to have the nerve to question one's preference just because of race (or even gender for that matter) Shame on Wendy because she acted like she was truly offended there for a minute. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
