WTF happened to our shows?? Soul Train, Showtime at the Apollo, Comicview, Def Comedy Jam, etc

[Lannister]

You may see a few shows on standard cable especially on the networks catered to Blacks like TVOne, Centric,.etc, but on the Major networks? Nah, breh. NBC/FOX/CBS/ABC all had Cosby, Different World, Living Single, Martin, Fresh Prince, Family Matters.etc going strong, and a lot of them barely had any White characters.

You probably never see a show like Living Single, for instance, on these major networks again. A show lead by 4 Black women? The studio heads will look at you like you lost your damn mind.

We have the boondocks, and Real housewives of ATL.

This poster is real close to being negged on spot. One more wreckless post and I am sending the goons.

We know this is the truth. Who is our leader? Al Sharpton LMAO. This dude is busy getting checks and smoking blunts on the side.

Mandela's gone now. Who's going to be the face of the modern african revolution now? Crooked ass mobutu SMH.

shyt's baffling how in just 15 years, everything we knew just fell off the world. We don't have black leaders or community building anymore. Everyone wants to be a damn low-skilled entertainer that parties and fukks hoes all day and not think of getting anything done as a group.

Ew,
Imagine all the nikkas and bytches twerking down the soul train line to trap music and emo/thug R&B

There's not enough "black" soul musically out there to bring back that show in its proper essence.

Let's face,
Black culture is beyond garbage right now, shyt been wack since the early 00's.

Gay nikkas probably dancing. Just a lot of fukkery. I stopped watching it with Shemar Moore when it was getting

For Soul Train to work, it needs good music and right now, the industry is terrible.

Think about this. People will talk with friends 20 years from now and say, do you remember when Elton John, Earth, Wind and Fire, Keith Sweat, Michael Jackson came to Soul Train. Who today is that good for anyone to remember. That was the main reason it died in the first place. No transcendent talent.

Yep. NWO has fukked us up in so many ways. You would think that America is 95% white, but that shyt is false. Even have some shows saying that the likes of NYC and LA are CAC heaven.

They trying to use white faces as black sounding music. Like Timberlake, Robin Thicke, and so on. Black people are now marginalized as trend hoppers with no skill and want easy money for sex.

 

[T-K-G]

fukk a sitcom, they need to shoot straight for hbo,showtime, amc type shyt

sit back and look at most of the shows on those stations right now, their stories dont even call for the entire cast to be white like they are, but they are

it just comes down to black actors not really gettin looks for real roles, they finally found a format that they could send all of the black people to (reality tv bullshyt)

so you gonna be hard pressed to get a quality show going on a major network with people of color cast as the leads

 

[???]

Can you imagine back in the day we had two black dwarfs/midgets being the stars of sitcoms, that will never ever happen again in our lifetime LMAO.

I can't hate on Robin Thicke, for the most part of R&B, we have had Blue eye soul artists and at least Robin hangs, is married, and relates to general Black culture. Justin on the other hand

The problem is, R&B has been marginalized by the industry. No more Dru Hill's Jodeci's, etc. I thought I was crazy but the Soul Train 2013 awards were the best award show we have seen in 10 years. Charlie Wilson might be the best entertainer in the game at 60. The game is The young nikkas need to fall back till we learn what good music is again.

Don't forget bedwrench TV. Or having an all white show with a Black lead. That tends to be popular these days.

I blame the fact that some people shyt on the young talented people like Cole and Kendrick as being "boring" and "lame" but the want something like 2 Chainz to keep us immature. Not to help, but you got older dudes chasing bullshyt music to keep up with trends, which is sickening.

Groups don't exist anymore because people too selfish and arrogant to work together. Especially R&B, where people think that slow music is boring and lame and for old people.

ever since i watched Cloud Atlas i haven't been able to enjoy most movies because of this very reason, in that movie you had blacks, asians, and whites, male and female, playing equally major roles and it was piff

then i gotta go and watch all this shyt afterwards were the cast is 99% white and it put me off of alot of movies, even those last two movies, american hustle and wolf of wall street, just felt like cacs bein cacs

People just have to accept that things aren't the same anymore. Heavyweight boxing isn't coming back, wrestling will never be the same after all the steroid allegations and suspect deaths, all athletic sports now has an asterix.

Nothing is really the same anymore.

I can understand Wolf of Wall Street. It was the 80s and Wall Street is like over 95% white. That made sense. Plus those roles were mostly negative. I don't want black folks in that type of shyt.

Sci Fi needs a major lesson on getting diverse content.

Yeah, its all over for the old way of thinking
