What does this have to do with her making a show about bisexual black men?

Everything. Imagine Lena Dunham making a show for HBO about young black males that sell dope in Mississippi, dodging bullets and dealing with racism

Would her coffee shop bistro hipster suburban white audience tune in? Would it be for them?

Same thing here. It’s just a bizarre turn for her and her core audience.

Issa has said that her core audience isn't black men, and most black women don't have problems with homosexual or bisexual people. Not wanting to date one doesn't really mean anything.

If they don't have no problem with them why don't they date them when they are known bisexuals then? Seems to be a problem somewhere and or doing like most folks nowadays saying whatever sounds good but when put to the test shyt looking funny in the light

You can not have a problem with a lot of things people do and are, and still not want to date them.

Yeah if they are unattractive, don't vibe, yeah otherwise nah fam. Folks aren't passing up on folks they find attractive and vibe with like that if they are single as the norm.

:stopitslime: are you trolling? so if 50 cent did a POWER spinoff about gay men you would watch it?

I'm assuming you don't have an issue w/gay cats, but does that mean you could relate to the subject matter? you'd comfortably watch those love scenes?

same thing here - sistas are not about to watch a show about a man going back and forth between men and women

I don't see the issue. There are millions of us(black men) and we come from different walks of life and are into different things. I'm open to anything that showcases different perspectives whether gay, bi, straight, otherwise.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

When I win I bring we with me
I've come to the position:
Feminist are one of the many enemies of the black community. They are simply internal enemies. I put feminist in the same category with other community degenerates.

In no particular order -
(some are obviously more of a prob than others)
  • c00ns
  • Drug dealers
  • Street Gangs
  • Pimps & Prostitutes
  • Black Feminist
  • Delinquent parents
  • Pedophiles
  • Serial abortionist
  • Abusive spouses
