Thing is, it actually *should* be an agenda. So should positive images of strong black families. And Latinos. And Asians. And all other types of interracial couples. And all other types of images that aren't held up as beautiful and strong but should be (the poor, the disabled, women, I'm sure I'm leaving someone out lol). Representation matters!

Part of the reason folks are put off by it is they're not used to seeing it. It should be an overarching agenda to get them (and perhaps more usefully, their kids) used to seeing it.

Good news for all of you Katherine Heigl fans out there, she has been cast in a family comedy pilot for CBS. Her character's husband is played by Malcolm Barrett.

Maybe CBS will put this show along with Fam, and God Friended Me on the same night and make it a real IR extravaganza.

Like I've said in other threads, IR in tv shows/films is a Hollywood agenda so the online racist white dudes & pro-blacks who whine about it all the time are technically correct. It's an agenda I'm fine with though.

It hasn't reached agenda level in movies though, not when it comes to black men being with white women. At least not with big budget films.

And from my observations the white dudes only cry about agendas when its white women with black men be it movies, TV, commercials, etc. They are noticeably silent on that front when there is a pairing with a white guy with a non-white gal.

Please stop believing that black chicks have some sort of power...THEY DON'T! The only power they have, is the power to annoy.

There power is in their consistent willingness to make it all about them, turn that into a complaint and, most importantly, for no one to give them any pushback (not the media or any on social media).

When you happen to be the only one shouting in a room or the one group playing victim with no one countering, you tend to sway the minds of Hollywood types who are listening. When black chicks can start hashtag campaigns like #KeepIrisBlack and there is not nearly enough of a vice to counter that bullshit you get folks in the media picking up on it as some sort of legit story (which happened) and a black actress getting cast as Iris for the Flash motion picture (which also happened).

I get what you're saying and I absolutely agree with all of your points. However just keep this in mind, SOME black chicks have become the "boy who crys wolf" character. They bitch, whine and complain so much about everything and everyone 24\7 that they have become "white noise" and no one is really paying attention to them. Now, everytime they lose their minds about some perceived slight or disrespect people just roll their eyes and keep moving.
