"Once you start looking at how all the black men are lazy and laid-back and nonassertive and nonaggressive and all the black women are quite the opposite, I think there is a pattern," she said Wednesday.
Manigault-Stallworth said this season continued the manipulation of contestant images. When black contestants don't fit a certain perception, they tend to be ignored, she said.
She's spoken with a black female contestant who's dissatisfied with her treatment, she said. She didn't identify the woman, but a subsequent comment indicated she was referring to Tara, a New York City government manager.
"She was kind of crying, saying, 'They're not showing me at all and I did all the right things,'" Manigault-Stallworth said.
"She's well-behaved, well-spoken, she doesn't argue with anybody," Manigault-Stallworth said, and she is getting "absolutely no air time."
"I think this is more of an extension of what's happening overall in Hollywood," Manigault-Stallworth said. "There's not a whole lot of roads for black women on television, and the roads that are presented don't always seem to be positive."
“What African-American man have we shown to be lazy? None of them. Kwame almost won the whole thing.”
Burnett referred to Kwame Jackson, the runner-up to winner Bill Rancic in the first edition of “The Apprentice.” On the show’s second season, the only black male contestant was among the final four.

"What African-American man have we shown to be lazy? None of them. "
Does Mark Burnett not watch his own show?  lol, OK, I'll try to be brief. Let's see... 
Survivor 1: Borneo
Gervase Peterson-Lazy
Ramona Gray-Lazy
Only 2 minorities cast.
Survivor 2: Australia
Nick Brown-Lazy, stiff, limited air time.
Alicia Calaway-Argumentative, "I will always wave my finger in your face!" 
Only 3 minorities cast.
Survivor 3: Africa
Clarence Black-Lazy, remembered for stealing food because he couldn't take the hunger.
Only 2 minorities cast.
Survivor 4: Marquesas
Sean Rector-Lazy, remembered for some good heated arguments.
Vecepia Towery-Lazy, Very Religious
Only 3 minorities cast.
Survivor 5: Thailand
Ted Rogers-Workaholic, respected.
Ghandia Johnson-Remembered for losing temper in a big way at Ted for allegedly making a sexual advance.
Only 3 minorities cast.
Survivor 6: Amazon
JoAnna Ward-Very religious, remembered for praising the Lord in song after meeting with any success.
Only 3 minorities cast.
Survivor 7: Pearl Islands
Osten Taylor-Quit show. Andrew Savage said they didn't show him to be the workhorse that he was, only focusing on his desire to quit halfway through, and his subsequent slacking.
Tijuana Bradley-Chatterbox
Only 4 minorities cast.
Survivor 8: All-Stars
Alicia Calaway-Argumentative
Only 2 minorities cast. No Sean Rector or Gervase. 
Survivor 9: Vanuatu
Rory Freeman-Hard worker, Hot-head, memorable arguments.
Only 1 minority cast. 1!
Survivor 10: Pulau
Ibrahem-Unknown
Jolanda-Unknown
Only 3 minorities cast.
Watch Survivor Pulau! Tonight at 8pm on CBS!
Maybe you can watch for any continuance of these Burnett casting and editing patterns and see if you agree or disagree 
And a quick recap of The Apprentice:
Omarosa-
Kwame-Good, but stiff, limited air time.
Kevin-Similar to Kwame
Craig-Apparently there is only one African-American guy qualified and interesting enough to put on TV each series
Verna-Quit
Tara-Who? She's on the show?

JOLANDA, JONATHAN & WANDA FIRST OUT
Thirty-nine days, twenty new castaways, a new twist to the game: SURVIVOR: PALAU has begun. On night three, the newly formed Ulong tribe was forced to make their first dreaded paddle to Tribal Council, where they voted out Jolanda Jones, the 39-year-old lawyer from Houston, Texas. Viewed as having a strong personality, Jolanda immediately stood out amongst her tribemates, who thought her attempts to become Ulong's leader were too severe.

Great show otherwise Oh well, I guess the Houston Comets will get no free publicity here
