Black drug king pin shows are played out.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Seems like the only shows with strong wealthy black leads/casts require them to be drug dealers.

like there has to be more ways to make it than selling drugs or doing illegal shyt

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I agree. Been saying this for years. It's a damn shame how we let our community be portrayed.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I agree
I haven’t even bothered with the BMF or Godfather of Harlem shows
I only watched the finale of Tariq’s show
Just not interested

god father of Harlem wasn’t that bad. The acting was good.

 

[SupaVillain]

Yeah, I was thinking the same shyt, it seems like this whole cocaine empire 80's schick is what's popular nowadays, for example, Power, BMF, Snowfall. ATP, we get it

Stop watching and giving them ratings and they'll go away when they see that our community isn't interested in them.

 

[General Mills]

I was just thinking of this. 50 is releasing cookie cutter shows like this all the time and it’s overkill. It’s like the overkill with the slave movies. At some point it just gets numb and I don’t care

This is something I definitely notice with how tv/film portrays black leads these days. A breh always gotta be a criminal in some way, shape or form.

Compared with the plethora of white shows where the premise is about a white agent, doctor, lawyer, detective etc. Hell, they even make the techys and autistic genius characters strong, charismatic, dominant leads that are seemingly unflawed.

Billions is a perfect example. How dope would it have been if Axe Capital was an all black company, and David Axlerod was a breh. Those type of companies do exist, but they don’t fit with the culture in this country.


Instead the two main people of color are subordinates. One is a bedwench thot, and the other is a gay bedwench thot.

 

[Neuromancer]

Yeah they are.

 

[RawDogBandit]

I agree, though I enjoy black actors getting opportunities. It’s time for more.


We need more black spy films, action, corporate dramas, ancient war shows, etc. Well written, not the average BS that is spout out that are aunties watch.

Hell I would take a black vampire show that isn't too corny. Idc, just need more variety
