New HBO black male dating comedy...

[newworldafro]

They can count me out as a viewer.

Being a straight, single African male isn’t enough. Nope! Make him a double dipper to spice things up.

You know HBOs producers gone tell her to shake things up Issa....throw a transformer and sex doll in there...you'll win an Emmy



Keep in mind, this an American television show, but it will have an international audience.

Da Genda is on a warpath.

I'm not even one of these "hate gays and fakkits" guys. I'm fairly progressive on the issue, but who is the market for this show?

A large segment of Black women love bisexual men, breh.

This thread makes way more sense in this context : are black women really lettin they gay male friends hit?

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

I not sure if this collective of creatives really realizes what they're doing.

They really might be blinded by the fact they're getting opportunities to produce what they feel needs representation..... or they might just not give a fukk and taking advantage of the fact aint nobody finna tell them no.

It's becoming increasingly clear that most of the prominent media out there, is either not intended for...or targeting straight black men. straight black men may consume the content, but it's truly not for them.

just talking with my black male co workers about the image of today's black man on tv , film and radio

outside of anthony anderson show blackish where a black man and woman is married happily and he is in his kids life you have no other shows out there like it...

you see these other shows where black men are drug dealers( power), crooked business men ( empire) cheating on their wives, gay ( reality tv shows and power and anything where it's dealing with a black woman and her hair salon) and the agenda of getting rid of positive black men anywhere in the media unless he committing a crime

go look at these commercials now where black women and white men are couples or they show a single black mom taking care of her kid

I’m here for it, I’m supporting all the black shoes that I can. They wasn’t giving us shyt, so we went out and made our own. Next award season we taking it all.

This isn't new there have been very few positive images of black men in the media, that's why the Cosby show was revolutionary.

Considering that bisexual Black men are responsible for the HIV rate in our community, I'm smh at the premise of the show. Issa sold her soul for that HBO deal. Wench.

 

[Karb]

Is @Markeith going to make an appearance?

 

[The Fade]

Trust white supremacist media to make quality black entertainment that gives a positive and edifying depiction of black men in America, brehs.

They dont want black straight young men to feel good about themselves, cause then it creates a generation of confidence instead of apathical anti-heroism most of us carry.

Then that creates inspiration for eventual usurption. If there was more media depicting Asians in a better light, they definitely would be beefing with cacs more cause they'd be partly conditioned to do it

Selling her soul would imply she had one to begin with

Just look at her face in the op

What do you mean our own?

These shows aren't being aired on a black owned network..... they're on HBO.

They gave you exactly what they wanted you to have, nothing more.

You really out here looking for white acceptance over black opportunity

 

[Thebadguy]

This should be boycotted like that Confederate show.


HBO has been on some bs lately.

No I’m not looking for white acceptance, do bi sexual black men not exisit at all? Issa problem only because they show centers around black men who straddle the fence? Maybe it’s show that may focus on men who are DL. Y’all are shytting on a show without even knowing more than a few details. I’m willing to believe this was the reason Travon posted it the way he did, just to see the reaction. Hell with y’all who ain’t here for it. Imma take my Rupaul’s Drag Race (who prefers it on Logo, not Vh1) and watch it with or without the coli’s watch thread.

I told yaw nikkas Issa Rae is a wolf in sheep clothing. Never trust a suburban black girl who was made fun of growing up.

Yaw wanna be coo with white folk when they make shyt like this.
