BM/WW IR sightings on TV

And I'm saying that feeling is wrong and poorly misguided because what proof that makes you think when you see women with black men that they are only with them because they don't have other options? Is that how you go into the dating world thinking that women are only talking to you because no white man or other non-black man would want them? One of the ways racism wins is when brothas begin to think less of themselves, have insecurities and what not. Where do you see that? If that is the general feeling then please explain to me how recent IR on shows could be so popular in the US, Fans WANTING the producers of Cloak and Dagger to hurry up and make them a couple and shoots down any naysayers online, please explain how the women I listed and the women in the Celebrity IR couples forum don't have any other option but to be with a black man. There is a lot of racism against black men and our IR dating life, but there is also a lot of pushback or you wouldn't get most of the positive things we have posted on this site. I think you guys want that to be the general feeling more than it actually is. I think you guys see successful shows with IR in them, an audience for IR, happy IR couples and women like a Lindsey Vonn actually interested in black men and don't think it's real and must be something wrong with it and becomes suspicious and paranoid and look for something negative because you don't think a pushback of Mainstream AmeriKKKa's values has actually done what we seen so far. That's the FEELING I'm getting.

Sounds like you are blending it in with the real world too. These are your quotes.

Remember the difference is marriage. Black men have always been the fun hook up story but as far as a life long partner to build a life with black men are dead last in terms of marriage material. Shit even black women when given the choice will choose almost anyone else the bachelorette(don't think a black guy made it into her top 3) showed us that. The popular narrative is still black men don't commit and won't take care of their kids. White men are the fairytale ending because they magically never cheat never abandon their families and always have the money to make dreams come true.

The common feeling is no one would choose to spend their life with a black man if they had other options. Its rampant.

But that is what Im mainly talking about. Show me where it isn't getting better and didn't take a big jump the past year on television alone. Aubrey Joseph, Sterling K. Brown, Omari Hardwick, Donald Glover, Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan, Mike Colter, Percelle Ascott are all female favorite black male stars. A couple of black actors have been made the main LOVE interest of white women on multiple occasions such as Common and David Oyelowo. Most "shipped" onscreen couple of the summer has been Tyrone and Tandy on Cloak and Dagger.
Little Boxes, CandyJar, The Week Of, The Innocents are all Netflix hits.

(I agree with some of what you said in terms of black women's dating options in this country.)

There's a new entry to put with Cloak and Dagger, The Innocents, Little boxes, Candy Jar, and The Week Of, it's called "Sacred Lies" where there's not 1, but 2 IR bm/wf couples. The main IR couple are teenage lovers Jude(black) and Minnow(white) the 2nd couple are adults, a forensic psychologist (bm) and a teacher(wf) at a juvenile detention center for females. It's a Facebook TV show so you'll have to go on Facebook and watch it I binge watched the first 8 episodes. It's pretty good, its about a cult that Minnow escaped from and they did an extremely horrible thing to her that I won't give away. But the 2 fall in love have sex, everything that normal teenagers do.

Cult follower Minnow (Elena Kampouris) risks danger when she falls for outsider Jude (Shane Paul McGhie) on Facebook Watch's new melodrama, Sacred Lies. I rate this 10-part series binge-worthy. A new 30 min episode airs each Friday.

My dude, I respect your opinions and enjoy your contribution to this site. But could you PLEASE start breaking stuff up into paragraphs? This stuff is getting difficult to read lol.

All in good fun, my man! :D

The execs have made their feelings known when they got sued by black men a few years ago if you remember that. If that is the audience they have attracted then that's just it. It is the audience they attracted, they didn't change the minds of women in America and the world on black men like some want to think. lol. Even the female fans last year and this year were all over social media asking for a black bachelor. This year It's a mix bag of viewers wanting some brotha named Wills and other wanting some other white guy if folks truly been paying attention. Even these lily white women who they main audience are are starting to look at black men. lol.

My take is that the execs are generally lazy. So when their blind spots lead them to simply cast what THEY want to see, that's what goes.

And of course their preferences are impacted by their environment (ie, America and its effed up racial history).

Representation really really matters.

When positive representations of black men and IRs are put on display, it will inevitably impact culture. Yes, there will be pushback. But ultimately the public will adapt, and we'll all be better off.

This goes for everyone. There need to be better representations of several other groups too (Asian men, Muslims, non-insane Christians, the poor.... I could go on).
 
Watched it last night:
New girl told him to come correct or get lost. Didn't want any part of him if he had a current girl.
Sooo...Dude ditched his current girl and gave the new girl the rose.

Which had old girl in tears as she left the Resort for good.

Speaking of tears, next week's preview has dude crying buckets (actually sobbing), so not sure if it's over new girl or his dog died.

And I think we are in the right direction on the right road with that right now. Asian male actor Henry Gold is making big waves. The only thing we really have to worry about is not letting that pushback drive it off road. Cloak and Dagger's fan base is an example of that. They're strong against haters. I love it!

I'm probably too old to join that shipping fan base, but they along with June and Harry of The Innocents are right now my favorite on screen couples.
 
AYTO Seasons 1-4!!!! I have seen Ugandan immigrants with ebola get more romantic activity than the brothas and sistas from the non-black contestants. They deliberately cast people with no history via Facebook, instagram or Twitter of even casually dating blacks!!

That's a terrible, depressing, brainwashed and inaccurate way of thinking about black men. You can't believe in the narrative that racism paints. There are women out there that are the opposite it's just that racism attempts to silence that which leads to people thinking like you. It's one of the ways of how we get black women having their "reasons" why black men shouldn't date white women. You think Lindsey Vonn, Doutzen Kroes, Kim Kardashian, Shanina Shaik, Nicole Trunfio, Lauren Jauregui, Bella Hadid are all with black men because they don't have other options? So they're with black men by default? Because white men don't want them? Is that what you think of the white women on this board? Do those girls with black men on BiP ALSO don't have options?

Common sense; If the producers of the show would NOT choose a black bachelor then odds are they are making SURE they're bachelorette don't have much interest in black men or none at all. You guys are completely ignoring that fact that connects with the bachelorette and giving the producers a pass and blaming it on the women they never choose to be the bachelorette instead of the producers and the women THEY DO CHOOSE!

Yeah, it is VERY easy especially if she has a social media account to tell whether a female is into black men very much or at all. Just takes a little digging.

Missed this one. Love button.
 
Noticed when going into my netflix account to add BP to my list that The Innocents is trending number 1 again. That's good news for us who have seen that season finale.
