Every episode of that "#blackAF" show (Netflix) is titled "because of slavery"

The Coli hated Black-ish as well before it premiered :russ:

Then most did a 180...

I think Kenya has earned some benefit of the doubt by now.

* With that being said, If he doesnt have black writers, thats wack as fukk

I got to the second episode where she’s being “black” and it was absurdly cringe.

They should have gone with a different actress. I understand Kenya had a biracial wife, but there are other actresses who could have made it look more natural.


I'll take your word because I refuse to watch it.

Y'all remind me of the beginning of To Live and Die in LA.

"Yes, but he said I want to have sex with your wife, but not in those words"

:pachaha:

"I love that nikka"

@phillycavsfan & @FlyRy Y’all are industry execs & experts on television. Why do “ black”shows have so many white writers? Is that the only way a show can be green lit?

If a creator has cache and makes hiring black a priority, then it can be done. Everybody Hates Chris had mostly black writers because Chris Rock (and his writing partner Ali LeRoi) had cache. Same goes for Issa Rae. But if you don't have cache or you don't make it a priority, then the producers or studios will do the hiring. They will hire "capable" writers, and because of education and racial discrimination, most capable writers are white.
