One of the reasons I don't watch TV (infact the main reason) is cause it's OVERWHELMINGLY white!

I mean, I wonder sometimes. Black people enjoy this shyt as entertainment, but how is it entertaining is something when you can't see yourself in any of the characters?
:dwillhuh:
Growing up I watched Family Matters with my family...I got called "Urkel" cause I was black and wear glasses.
:mjlol:
but atleast that was a character that I looked like that I could relate to.
How can black people enjoy looking at shows and commercials filled with people that don't look like you?
:patrice:
Representation matters.
I mean, with all this talk about Black Panther we finally have a superhero movie that black families can take their kids to see and they can see themselves as heros! I hope to see more of that.
Cause let's face it...when you're black in America, representation matters. Seeing a black man/woman that looks like you do something you want to do inspires you to do the same cause then you can see people looking like you making it. Seeing black families in lead television shows gives humanity to blackness and depth. We can see these characters not only as black people, but as people with multifaceted interests, dreams, hopes, emotions, triumphs, tribulations, etc.


Roseanne saying that stuff is "insignificant" not only speaks to her privilege but her disdain towards people of color.
She can look at any TV show or commercial at any time and see people that look like her.
She can go to any TV station or network and the people running the show look like her.
She can do a comedy show and the majority of the crowd will look like her.
She can go to a sporting event and the majority of the people look like her.
She can go to any city, any neighborhood, any other damn place in this country and be SURROUNDED by people who look like her!
So who the fukk is she to shyt on the experiences of black people in television?
:why:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, as they say. :yeshrug:

People think and say a lot of foul shyt day in and day out.

White people or any other group are not obligated to give a shyt about our feelings or how we’re represented or whether there is any representation at all.

Don't watch TV then if you say that.
Have fun with having zero representation on TV other than the occasional supporting character designed to boost the white lead's morale or as an extra in the background that has less than two speaking lines. Or as criminals on the nightly news or crime victims. Or as basketball players, football players, baseball players, and maybe one or two hockey players. you obviously happy with you and your kids (if you have any) having zero people that look like them on TV doing something positive and constructive that they can relate to and see themselves in...cause those are people who gonna be hurting the most...the black children of the world.
Some of y'all really don't get it. At all.
:mjlol:
There's nothing I can say to you other than turn that idiot box off. It just peddles propaganda and is only there for social engineering.

I'm gonna assume this is your white side saying this.
:mjpls:

I’m sorry, breh, I actually have to check myself on this. I realized I should have used “black people” in place of “our” because I really have been bound to neutrality by default (no sarcasm).
:hubie:

I agree with you about turning the television off. That other shyt is unfortunately a result of a racially “diverse nation” (an oxymoron, IMO).

I can’t be bothered to be bothered by human nature anymore.

Blacks, however, do have a considerable degree of positive representation in this day and age (thanks in part to American Jews).

It ain’t SO bad.:manny:

nikkaz my age and older watched Rosanne, married with children and shyt like that cause these muthafukaz was like regular folks. Just like alot of white ppl ive seen in my life.
nikkaz out here thinking all these white muthafukaz is somewhere colluding, and conspiring against them. When some of these white ppl is broker than a muthafuka and dnt give a shyt about race. They just tryna make it thru like everybody else
And then this dusty fat white bytch basically says that all families are alike, so theres no reason to watch those other shows, as a joke... and here nikkaz come with the Fake Frederick Douglass shyt.
Yo, sit the fukk down wit that ol' bullshyt

Thank you for that bro. shyt is getting ridiculous, it's hilarious but sad.

Actually that is what it sounded like.

This also shows a really weird thing now a days. We can have serious shows that throw around incredibly racist shyt.....yet folks will do....:yeshrug:.

Yet in comedy if someone says something controversial or even hints at something controversial....folks lose their freaking minds.

I just don't understand the shyt. Dave chapelle can make a joke about women and folks want to kill him.

Yet them same folks will watch a movie or tv show about a man who is raping and killing women and these idiots will sit in front of the tv like...:popcorn::cheers: this is great entertainment....:mindblown:

We are truely living amoungst a country of idiots.

Truth.....intelligence on this planet is dwindling
