Empire had been on a downward spiral well before.

I love the music.
The music is okay but I stopped following the show early on.

Tyler Perry was mentioned. HAHN and If Loving You Is Wrong are both pretty crappy, yet people LOVE both of those shows.

My research seems to indicate who was doing J some dirty work with an attorney but he doesn’t appear to have been working directly for the US Secret Service.

How about this? As the discussion head/OP, how about I see what I can find so that we can settle this once and for all?

Default Interracial dating/marriage agenda

It’s no secret that we see more interracial couples on prime time TV (mainly BM/WW and WM/BW). Do you think that there is an attempt to perpetuate an idea that black men and women are not compatible together? That those couples don’t last? How do you feel about IR dating and marriage I’m general. Let’s talk.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No! They are normalizing inter-racial dating to make it easier for the many many real life people dating that way. Same with showing gay and TG and so forth. It's easier to break a taboo when you see it on TV not being a taboo. Or if you're feeling like no one is like you, BOOM, there they are on prime time.

It was taboo for me. The way I was raised, where I went to school, work. No one did that. I can't be sure, but I think TV and movies helped me expand.

It coincides with where I live that gets blacker by the day, so it's hard to tell.

A different taboo used to be that for a time,inter-racial dating was almost always black man/white female. Hardly ever the other way around. Which made black women really angry. They would say we are already limited on good men and white women taking them made them furious. I was actually physically beaten over this many years ago.

Anyway now there is more of the other way around and I have found black women to be VERY accepting of me now. I don't know what all went into that change besides black women starting to date white men.

There are still some that get mad. I forget his name, a football player, his wife is white and he gets flak for it.

Will Smith, until the movie Focus, would not be with a white woman onscreen out of respect for black women.

IIRC, until Flight, Denzel would not either.

In no way shape or form are they trying to say that black men and women are not compatible. They are trying to model a world where race has no meaning. And it's like AA to have 17 out of 24 Drs. be black. That is not real life but it's a good model for people to see.

IMO you aren’t celebrating black excellence when you have the same nominees and winners.
On a Google search, there seem to only about about 20 active black shows . So idk, it's hard to argue with top 5 or so when there is so little to choose from .

I also forgot about Insecure on HBO and Dear White people on Netflix .

Both a atleast in my top 10, although I will say Dear White people isn't as good as the first season . Grown-ish works better overall in the college setting
