So why are we pretending that watching Empire and Scandal are a bad thing?

[Stay Seeking]

That is a futile effort

He's gone bro...they got him.

So what's your excuse for our ancestors? They were "prejudged, shot, harassed, searched & arrested everyday" decades and even centuries BEFORE those "negative perceptions".

.

thats not true
the whole point of white supremacy and the way it was brought into power was brainwashing other groups into believing blacks were inferior whether it be through made up diseases based on skin color or just plain lies and destroying of history and at this point alot of us have just taken over for them so they dont have to do it anymore

defend your c00n show all you want but get the facts straight

You're supportin' the white man's agenda but they got me?

How is Empire the "white man's agenda"? It's a television show, but you'd rather us watch the Cosby's though right?

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I haven't seen more than 3 episodes of Scandal... Emopire has its :comeon; moments but I watch weekly.

It's a show pushin' exclusively negative images of Black folks. Got you wantin' to be like Lucious when you grow up.

Cosby Show? The one starrin' a self employed doctor & his lawyer wife, livin' in a million dollar home? Yup! As if this rape story didn't surface 20+ years after the fact.

But keep writin' your little script.

So every black character on tv has to be positive is what you're saying?

Edit: also at these fukking nerds bringing up Game of Thrones, a poor mans Lord of the Rings. Jesus Christ.

you know exactly what is being said, but you keep playing dumb
also yikes at game of thrones being anything like lord of the rings, no wonder you like empire, you have garbage taste

I'm not playing dumb at all. I wouldn't even call the main characters stereotypes, nor the plot stereotypical at all. Their an affluent black family that's bettered themselves trying to make it work for the most part. Hell I applaud them for evening adding the unspokeness of having a black female character with bi-polar disorder.

And yes, GMOT is still fukking garbage.

Are you serious? The father is painted as an evil homophobe, he cant be faithful to cookie or his other black woman. Cookie is a sassy black woman who went to jail for drugs. One son is dating a white woman he tries to sell out to old men. Another son is all swag and shyt with mommy issues who i also think was caught cheating.

The only righteous character on the show is the gay son and that's because of the obvious agenda from the self hating man who created the show. The man himself said the show is to uncover the homophobia in the black community, this is what I mean when I say you're playing dumb "Oh there just a normal black family trying to make it work" get the fukk out of here.

Obviously not every black person on tv has to be an angel, the point is there needs to be diversity and there absolutely is none. You're addicted to ratchet shyt and you make floaty deflection excuses like "well i guess every black person on tv has to be great"

And GOT is still nothing like LOTR. Seriously diversify your palette. You sound like you've watched 5 shows in your life.

edit: oh but dont let forget. how amazing it is they gave a black woman a mental illness. fantastic.

I seriously can't fathom how you get this angry of a TV show. My god.

 

[hotbeezie]

Positive would be a show not centered around crime, deception, revenge, etc.

Yes, we make mistakes too, but I won't support a show focused on those mistakes when that's all we seem to get. Last thing we need is another source of negative perception. Maybe I'll watch when non-Blacks have more positive examples to judge us by.

I am from the hood. I can relate to the show. Cookie is stong, but in a negative way... the same way non-Blacks (and some Black men) view Black women as a whole. TV/media provides a very narrow, very negative perception of us. I choose not to contribute.

But I don't understand the problem. I'm not tryin' to convince you to not watch the show. Enjoy. I'm simply tellin' you why I don't watch.

Did you support Let's stay together????
