Always gotta have a catch
Either they're entertainers or athletes (the game)
Black folks on curb were Katrina victims
Or it's just some ignorant shyt like "meet the browns"
Why can't they just have a show with black folks and that's it
No catch
It'll have the exact same story lines as "white shows"
Doesn't make sense
List of Magical Negro occurrences in fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magical Negro is a somewhat mystical supporting stock character in fiction who, by use of special insight or powers, helps the white protagonist get out of trouble. African-American filmmaker Spike Lee popularized the term, deriding the archetype of the "super-duper magical negro" in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University.
