Are you watching Scandal and did you watch Addicted to support black actresses?

Dudes, on here, will talk all the crap about Scandal and say that they don't wanna watch a bedwench appreciation show but get mad at black women for not wanting to support this?

I'm buying a ticket because I really enjoy Ryan Coogler (The Director).

Black women have the right to put their money behind actors who they feel support and appreciate them.

Lmao let Eve drop an album / movie and ask for support from the Coli and let's see how the Coli would react.

I watch Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder.

I'm not a bitter person who attacks celebrities online. I just hate the hypocrisy though. Scandal is prime time TV (a good show too sometimes) and these same bitter black women watch it religiously but, let the president have been based off Obama and had him cheating with a white woman...basically the gender and race reversed and all hell would have broke loose.

Hypocrites.

All this to say that anyone "boycotting" this movie due to the main actor's dating preference is silly. Black women would never bw able to enjpy any form of entertainment if we boycotted all black male celebs who date out (which is why it rarely if ever happens). The number of black women doing that though is incredibly minute. I'd say that more aren't seeing it because it looks like a boring ass movie about boxing.

Hypocrites.

The racial makeup of the main coupling is not the reason why black women tune into Scandal. It's probably not even a factor. Black women watch Scandal because it features a black woman in a lead role in a Primetime television show (something that hasn't happened for 20+ prior).

I was talking to an actor, light skinned brother with light blue eyes. He was telling me how he lost out on a role for this ABC show to a brown skinned dude an I was just like "I can see that".

If he'd been a woman, though, I would have been like . It's fukked up, but yes, that's how it is. My mother acts, too, and 90% of casting calls she sees are calling for white/Asian/ethnically ambiguous

I know about it because she shows me the emails. Mind, we're both light, but very sensitive to this shyt. It's always been there to a degree, but it's more blatant now. Look at black movies in the 90s compared to now....

Black women have every right to say 98% of Hollywood movies and the men who don't use their platform to look out for their supposed sisters.

The first movie casting was gross. Gugu is great, but how are you going to be a black American female director, and cast a biracial British woman along side an unambiguous American black male? Especially considering that your core audience is black American women.

 

[MalikReloaded]

Whatever....hypocrites.

Your heads would blow up seeing a black president leave his black wife for a white political social climber but, you tune in to watch the reverse every week.

If yall werent hypocrites it would be cool...except yall are....got a nerve to get mad at black men for not "supporting you" when you "support that". Give a break. Hypocrite

 

[IWunD3r]

Who cares if you don't like it? We're supposed to support each other? You're actively not supporting a black actress when you don't watch the show.

What's the difference? You're doing it because you're uninterested, black women are doing it for their own reasons, etc.

And who cares that some black men supported Serena too? There are plenty of black women who are gonna support this movie too but the ones that don't have every right not to.

You can't say that it's bad to boycott because we need to support each other even if we mess up and then say "Well, Scandal / Addicted just doesn't ring with me so I don't support it".

Hell, you got nikkas who won't go see Tyler Perry movies and talked shyt about that nikka all the time. Do you make sure to see every TP movie?

Let's be fair here, @IWunD3r

There's a difference between having no intrest, and boycotting...
U know that.

I dont have anything against Kerry Washington. if her fine ass is in a good movie i have interest in, im watching.
I just have no intrest in scandal.

And That's the difference between, not being interested and boycotting.
The same women who will boycott Creed, will STILL watch it any ways, FOR FREE.
they just refuse to pay out the pocket, and refuse 2 support it, Behind pitty pat Hypocritical childish reasons.

Also blk men are not the only ones, who pan Tyler Perry movies. Everybody does. Most blk women in my age group 18-25 , Don't really fukk with dude either.

Scandal really got you feeling some type of way, huh?
Meanwhile, I've never seen an episode, imagine that

Gina is closer to being ethnically ambigious herself, so her casting Gugu is actually exactly what I'd suspect

Its why I will continue to not believe anybody who says we're all the same and nobody can tell the difference. Because everybody suddenly seems to be able to tell the difference once it comes to casting.

 

[GunRanger]

He's not c00ning though

If he chooses to date out, that's his choice breh. As long as he's not saying disparaging things about black people or acting like Clarence Thomas out here, black women really have no leg to stand on. And frankly, I cant stand hypocrites seeing as these same simple minded bytches tune in every week to watch bedwenching on prime tv with Scandal and HTGAWM. c00ning is not dating other races. c00ning is exactly what it is.....being a c00n. You don't see white women boycotting Robert De Niro because he married a beautiful chocolate sister and had half breed kids. Or Matthew McConaughey for having half Hispanic kids. Or George Lucas for sharing his billion dollar wealth with a black woman. Or Mark Zuckerberg for sharing his with an Asian woman. Hell, Heidi Klum had kids with the absolute blackest nikka on Earth and she's still famous and making big money, and you KNOW how upset white men get seeing pretty white women with black men. A bunch of insecure black women man. He don't owe them nothing. As long as he don't fix his lips to say anything foul, get over it.

The reason her movie flopped was because she alienated her core audience. Casting an American black woman who looked similar for Gugu would have served her so much better. Sanaa Lathan is very light (but she's also a black American woman not a biracial British one), and we all know how successful Love & Basketball was.

I didn't see it, but I've been meaning to. That one is actually more understandable to me. I feel like that was the first time Gina Prince-Bythewood really put a woman in a film that's more representative of who she is (pretty sure she's also half white and self-identifies as a black woman) and the type of relationship she has in real life.

Prior to that she was directing Nia Long and Sanaa in movies that represented black women very well. Maybe next time she can do something subversive. Jessie Williams and Teyonah Parris?

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Why the fukk does he want BW support for?
Cause he is Black?

He will be okay though cause BW never boycott shyt

Love talking that talk though

Blk Women need to speak up, y'all the loudest ones on the planet......

Y'all need to aim that energy, at the hollywood big wigs.

There's no movement on y'all behalf, on this issue.
That's what ppl fail to understand, How can ppl support causes, when they're given nothing to support?

Once y'all make a movement outta this, like ya did in tearing down Micheal B, then the support will come.

The movie is good. It's on Netflix. Explained like that it is definitely understandable why she chose Gugu, but I believe that casting caused the movie's dismal numbers. It's a shame because we definitely don't get many big screen black romance dramas.

Lol@choosing to date out not being c00ning

U c00ns sure love riding for other c00ns

A nikka who dated every color on the rainbow and ended up with a non-black wife may not be a c00n

But a muthafukka who dates nothing but white bytches?? How the fukk is that not c00ning??

fukk this lil nikka and everybody defending him

I only know him for playing gay ass Wallace..never been a fan
