BM/WW IR sightings on TV

I was with you until that last line LOL. I'll go back and binge if they actually get together. And I'm talking real relationship, not just a one-time smash and go lol!

 

Oh for real? @SilverSmith are you keeping up with "Station 19"? When I would have "Station 19" on in the background during it's 1st season last year, Jaina Lee Ortiz's lead character was romantically involved with another dude.


EDIT:

LOL, Sounds about right. I'm with @qaz1, if they get together I'll tune in.

 

Watching episode 4 of "The Enemy Within" that aired a couple weeks ago right now. Jennifer Carpenter's character trolled Kelli Garner's character by implying another female character in the office might be comforting Morris Chestnut's character by letting him smash. Kelli Garner definitely felt some way about the troll & had Jennifer Carpenter escorted out of the office by the guards.




Since nobody posted the trailers, I'm posting it now:

 

Sherman Augustus (Nathaniel) and Orla Brady (Lydia) in AMC's Into The Badlands season 3, currently airing.

 

Didn’t he take her from the old crazy guy from the earlier seasons? Lol.

 

Epix dropped the first teaser trailer for "Godfather of Harlem" a couple weeks ago:

 

Baby Girl Orla Brady looks amazing for 58!

 

She’s a fine mother flower.

 

I just read up on Bumpy. This dude had an affair with the editor of Vanity Fair back in the 30s. Her name was Helen Lawrenson. And she was the one going around telling it! Sometimes history is wild lol

I couldn't find a pic of them together, but here's one of her with her boss, Condé Nast, in 1937.


And here's an article she wrote about Bumpy. She was not shy about hers.

https://classic.esquire.com/article/1972/12/1/the-first-of-the-big-time-harlem-hustlers

This is probably the most interesting sentence of the article, as far as this board is concerned:

"I don’t want anyone to think that I used to sneak up to Harlem for assignations in the manner of many white women of that era, from Hollywood stars to anonymous New York socialites. There was nothing clandestine about my friendship with Bumpy."

Just to save some of you a trip to Google, an assignation is a secret lovers' meeting. You're welcome lol

 

I knew what assignations meant but I didn't know from what she is basically describing a club for famous white women to meet with black men? I would like to know more about that and were these affairs or relationships these white women were having.

 

Epix is a new channel, right?

 

Facts! expand on that please

 

I get you. I put that definition there because I had to look it up myself lol.

I'm interested to know more about that myself. My thinking is that Lawrenson was a women super connected to the "scene" in that era. She was a taste maker; it was her business to know what was going on. If anyone knew the real score for something like that, I imagine it would be her. So when she says there were lots of stars and socialites sneaking up to Harlem for a walk on the wild side, I'm inclined to believe.

I get the sense they were more short term flings and one night stands, because they wouldn't be sneaking if they were long-term relationships. Though I assume some of them would've had longer term situations if it wasn't so taboo.

 

I don't really know much more. But my educated guess is that these women were coming to Harlem in general. They probably (as Hollywood stars and rich socialites) hit up the latest hot spots and met the black men at those spots. I assume (and Lawrenson all but says) the reason they went there was because of the men who also went there.

It's like in college when you hit up white sorority parties because you knew the type of women you'd meet there lol.

Of course if a couple hit it off they could make whatever other arrangements worked for them (like you and that sorority girl lol).

 

Read the autobiography of Malcolm X as well as the unotherized version, they both touch on the subject of wealthy white women going looking for black men in Harlem in the 30's and 40's.

 

Epix is a premium cable channel owned by MGM that launched back in 2009.

 

Wow,that's a relationship.l look forward to a flick soon.

 

@qaz1 I completely forgot their is also a major IR on "The 100" between Marie Avgeropoulos & Ricky Whittle's characters in the first 3 seasons:

SMH & LOL. Dude bumped the thread today & is being da fucc out of "Legacies"

 

^^ How has blacked fuel IR in mainstream hollywood? How did they come to these conclusions? lol.

 

LOL. If you read the thread, nobody agrees with him. @Young Herschel is on his own with his wild opinions in that thread.
