Erika Alexander breaks down how Living Single got screwed over
- Thread starter Hugs
- Start date
Breh, entertainment has NEVER worked like that
Wayans Brother got cancelled because as they got more poppin', they wanted a raise and WB was like
Larry Wilmore (Writer on the show) said Bernie Mac was critically acclaimed and popular and they tried to shut it down while Arrested Development had horrible ratings and they rebooted that bullshyt
Most of all the black movies made in the 80's and 90's were low low budget and had high returns and even if they didn't do big in the box office, because the music industry was still poppin', the soundtrack probaly went platinum or gold
I'm not sayin' it's not racism
Because white people do not value black audiences
But, it's more complex than old white gathered in a dark room to ruin black TV--we didn't own shyt. And that's why I hate that "We are the coolest people in the world--every one follows us"
No, we're exploited very well and if we ask for power we get squash
Seth Rogan, Will Ferrall and Adam Sandler keep pumping out bullshyt because they have friends in high places
Nah i'm talking about that decade or more long gap between respectable black television until shonda rhimes popped up
you mean to tell me you get why they just said "nah, we don't need black programming like before"
again, just going by what Erika Alexander SAID in this interview...surely you aren't suggesting you know better that HER and this is her career
Formerly Black Trash
Philosopher, Connoisseur, Future Legend
Ugly white men have it made
Why didnt she hook up with Kyle Barker
He look confused in all his pictures
Even the broke ones

She was in an Off Broadway show my cousin wrote a few years back got to meet her and Felicia Rashad at once backstage. Great experience. She was a real cool sister.
How she got finer as she got older..... 
Determined look on her face tells me she knows she guilty. And she looks well in check like that white boy will go upside her head.
Disgusting
Brehs, her husband (ex husband as indicated in the interview) was biracial, she mentioned the conversation he had with an executive and said "WE" when referring to black people indicating he claimed to be black himself.
Eh, Not buying it.
I know there was a media consolidation that took place in the early 2000’s that affected music and television
but why not replace them with what we (black folks) were accustom to already?
hire the same writers again? keep the formula going?
seriously. somebody higher up either said they weren't interested in this, they didn't get it, or they were tired of the positive imagery <<< it's one of these three.
and I posted on here years ago about that dj that felt the Telecommunications act of 1995 was enacted to counter the million man march
we organized like that without any mainstream support or endorsements - it was all through black radio and that scared white people in power.
think about it: the system was working just fine before, SOMETHING happened to make them want to change
This
Exactly dude has said who he was tons of times. I don't know why people keep saying this shyt.
Folks acting like this dude just popped on the scene yesterday.....
.
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
Lmaoooo you serious? Dude 100% looks like a cac.
You sure he isn't 10% black or some shyt like that?
