BM/WW IR sightings on TV

^ It just goes to show that I believe they somehow purposely don't want the female bachelorettes with black men on their main show. Because IR happened and happens faster here than on the bachelorette.

I randomly had on the "Quantico" series finale that aired last night on in the background & it looks like Blair Underwood's character, Owen Hall, has a love interest this season with with a deaf character named Jocelyn Turner played by Marlee Matlin:

That hookup only started within the last few episodes. After the first kiss he was shot in a later episode. I was like oh no! Not again! But he survived all the way to the finale.

^^ She's really turned into such a beautiful mature woman. She kind of has a thing for black guys as well, I remember a report came out when she hit on Taye Diggs when he was still married.

That's interesting seeing as how Evan Ross still gets acting work. He was either part of the main cast or a major recurring character on this past season 2 of Fox's "Star".




Speaking of which, I forgot to mention in this thread during the season that Evan Ross' character Angel is involved in a IR (sorta*) with Star's younger half-sister Simone (played by Brittany O'Grady) throughout the season:

The reason I said "sorta" is because the character Simone is a Half-black/Half-white biracial, but the actress that plays her Brittany O'Grady is white/native american mix. Evan Ross' character Angel is a black dominican from Miami.

^^ Isn't the actress that's the star of the show a half black/half white biracial woman playing a white woman?

Yeah, Lee Daniels casting decisions for the 2 main sister characters on "Star" are weird AF. The lead character Star is white, but the actress that plays her, Jude Demorest, is a Half-black/Half-white biracial. And as I mentioned in my previous post, Star's younger half-sister Simone is Half-black/Half-white biracial, but the actress that plays her, Brittany O'Grady, is a white/native american mix.
 
^^ I was reading that some of the fans didn't like that they were doing this. I understand them wanting to see Carol and Daryl together, but on the other side this is BIG for IR on television because now two of the main characters are BOTH in a IR relationship on a VERY popular TV show. Rick and now Carol.
 
Enthusiasts of The Walking Dead have just two alternatives with respect to the IR romantic relationships being "shoved down their throats" (lol): (1) leave in large numbers or (2) grudgingly acknowledge the direction in which the series is going. As for me, I'm tuning in.
 
Isn't the pattern of The Walking Dead that as soon as a couple finds happiness, a tragedy for one (or both) of them is just around the corner?

I'm so glad I didn't waste my time getting into this show. From what I understand, most of the BM who watch "Insecure" only watch it to root for the character Lawrence.

Like I said I'm done. Its predictable bs I don't get anything from. I choose not to support media that openly doesn't support me. For this bullshit I'm better off supporting shows that ignore us at least its not this active hate campaign

Like I said above, any media created by BW will end up pissing you off if you're any kind of heterosexual black man. Keep in mind these are the women we're supposed to "build" with, steady using Jew media to spread their misandry. Get your white or Asian girl and keep it moving

Look do black men especially in America have issues to work out? Of course we do. But the way these kind of black women in the media chooses to go about it is through degradation and bigotry because as she said "toxic male black masculinity as it relates to black women." We have seen where they like to go when it comes to these discussions and a lot of it be exaggerations, false narratives and stereotypes. Consisting very little truth to them. This is one of the reasons why I say black men unfortunately can't cater to to certain parts of Black Entertainment, America and damn near ALL of Black Media. Because as soon as you do you are in a way voluntarily becoming slaves/property to these black women that run these things. They're using their position of power as we see with Issa Rae on her show to get black women to harness control over black men and to get black men to surrender it. This isn't about speaking on toxic masculinity, this is about psychologically demasculating black men. Issa Rae already let us know how she felt about black men in her book.

Imagine if Donald Glover said that the next season of Atlanta would deal a lot with black women's emasculation of black men? The reactions from Woke Twitter would be one to behold.

I just saw this video that BGS IBMOR put out yesterday discussing how the ratings for the new season 3 of "Insecure" has fallen off a cliff because of Lawrence being written off the show:

Meh.

First of all it can be argued that Richonne is part of the reason for the downturn in ratings. I personally never saw any chemistry between the two performers and they hadn't even shared many scenes together before TPTB decided to kill off Andrea. It also irked me that Rick and Michonne never hooked up in comics nor did the comic book fans ever want them to. Richonne in the comics is far sexier, less moody and pretty much only hooked up with black guys. After the death of his wife in the comics, Rick moved on to Andrea and they have been the most stable, long-standing couple in the comic books. Now just think of that, TPTB decided to toss out that relationship and pair Rick on the show with the black chick instead. That's the type of privilege that WM/BW relationships get in gene TV/movie these days. Could you imagine a scenario in which it was a white female lead who had a relationship with a white male in the source material and the writers/producers deciding to throw out their romance and pair the white female with a black male co-star instead? On the most popular show on TV no less? I can't.

Because Rick is the lead that means his relationship with Michonne is often front and center. The same can't be said about Carol and Ezekiel. I like those two but their "romance", while clearly building over time, will have become official off screen; because of a time jump we will not be getting a chance to see when it truly bloomed. We will be thrust into a time in which their romance has already started. And who knows just how much attention it will get or how long Carol or Ezekiel will last before an untimely death. I can't say anything about the relationship until I know those answers.

The show still pisses me off because if it stayed true to the comics we would have been given a lady's man in Tyresse who also would have been an alpha male who could challenge Rick in authority. But that's not the Tyreese we got; instead that type of role went to Shane. Tyreese was given a sister who on the show lasted far longer than he did and her most important romantic relationship was with a white guy ultimately.

A far better representation of IR was Maggie and Glen who probably take the award for the best couple of the TV version of Walking Dead. Their relationship was a faithful adaption of the comic and I admit I'm envious that an Asian guy got arguably the hottest chick on the show who happened to be white and that their relationship may be the most popular pairing. No relationship involving a black man and a white woman ever got such a platform as Glen and Maggie did on America's most popular show.

Anyway I pretty much stopped watching regularly a couple of years ago.
