C'mon, breh, don't play me thaaattt.

Like you said; like 3 giants own all media

I admitted they don't respect black audiences

Hell, I don't think Black Panther will change much

You misunderstanding me; it's racism, but, it's more complex than white people not wanting to see more positive black images

Even Rap music is basically every one doing sing songy pop shyt

I'm not saying anything more than what erika alexander said; she said herself and others just simply weren't working

ironically Bokeem Woodbine said the exact same thing a few weeks ago on the breakfast club too

your argument is that it's "just business" okay, fine. so again, if something isn't broke, why fix it?

Living Single, Steve Harvey show, The Parkers etc etc....these shows clearly weren't doing Seinfeld numbers
but any show that runs longer than 2 seasons and has commercials running during it is doing pretty good

so why would they just throw away something that advertisers were still spending money on?

and this definitely happened in the music business - when was the meeting among black folks where we said we didn't want to hear any more gospel and R&B on our radio stations?

that all we wanted to listen to 24/7/365 was hip hop and nothing else :comeon:

:stopitslime: she literally just said the only role they wanted comedic actresses to be fat loud and black. Literally the same thing monique said they wanted to put her in a Box- and these clowns on the breakfast club was shyttin on Monique

Monique played up that role though in her own stand up.

Above the fray.
Listen to this segment of an interview with the late Jim Kelly from 1996.



I'm guessing that EA's interview echoes some of the sentiments expressed by JK.

No one disagrees with Mo Nique about the cism....but the bottom line is...she's just not that good.

Thank you. Kats on here don't do their research and instead your start talking.

As I said before on here many times. Dude has said he is black, married black and has talked about black issues for years.

Same as a kat like Rock Newman. Folks on social media swear these folks just showed up.


^ was just about to say this
