Blackish: the new aged model minority Black family

[Will Ross]

This thread isn't about the show...

It's about the media white washing Black families.... Making them Blackish

How is the Media white washing black families when
It's not odd to see a couple like this in real life?

Also the guy in the ad looks African

Here in lies the difference... My perspective is not the same...

It is odd to see this kind of "Black" family.
Statistically these kind of mixed Black households represent a marginal section of the Black population. Especially if you control for married and can vacation Black households.
Which means they aren't marketing in order to corner the "new normal" market.

I guess that lightskinned/intercial shyt sells! Idk , I'm not in advertising...

It's amazing how some black men are so stupid that they are letting insecure dark skin black women bait them into attacking light skin black women. NEWSFLASH them chicks don't give a fukk about the black community that is an excuse they use. It's all about ego and feeling inferior to light skin/bir-racial women. They want to be praised and have their asses kissed, they dont give a damn about keeping full bloodlines.

The same chicks complaining about lightskin/bi-racial women are the same ones who would jump at the chance of having kids with a white man if presented the option. Then they will have a daughter the same color as the ones they claim to hate

I peep them "dark-skin activist" militant black women that be hard as fukk on light skinned chicks and straight up venomous towards bi-racial chicks be the first to thirst over white men

How long are y'all going to be upset about how Cacs portray black folks and not be up set about how black folks portray black folks?

Word, are people trying to say Denise Huxtable is not black?

Lady in the advertisement in OP is definitely black as are her children. Not sure what the argument is here to be honest. Thats a black family.

Folks have a limited scope if they think only dark, dark skinned people can be considered black though. Cut out the divisiveness. Next thing redbones ain't gonna be considered "black enough" smfh. We need to stick together!!!!

ok, but dark skinned people are the standard for blackness

As I said earlier, you wouldn't know this without looking in their background (other than traci of course)

They all are brown skinned people. It's not like they picked a bunch of Mariah Carey types and threw them on the show.

The family is black. Smh at this bait thread. "Ambiguous" race? Tracee Ellis Ross is a black woman that's been in the spotlight for years and IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW she identifies as a black woman. The kids are obviously black. If you watched the show you'd know this too. Stop trying to create drama out of random shyt. Some of yall take shyt to the next level for things that don't need to be bothered about.

Tracy Ellis Ross is biracial. Her father is a White Jew.

whites are on a negative birth rate, specifically in europe. more of them are dying than being born...i wonder if one reason they're promoting IR is a way to preserve themselves. clearly whites alone cannot function/reproduce the way humans were intended...

Queen predicted it.

Tracy Ellis Ross is biracial. Her father is a White Jew.

In the UK, every tv advert with a black man or woman is almost always in a IR relationship. I peeped it a couple years ago and ever since it's been prominent. The conditioning is real brehs.

Notice that they will never show a prominent famous black couple either.

In America the average skin tone for black people is something like Anthony Anderson, not Wesley snipes.

How does the ad show self hate? Our Familes have been made up of diffrent complexions for years.

Our families are varied, But the ads aren't. dark women and children are being left out.
