You left out my favorite show: The First 48. Every Black person’s favorite TV program. “He could’t have done that–he a good boy.” “The police set him up cause they raciss!” “Hard worker, great with the childrens…He dindu nuffin!”

Coon Shows? Part of this is similar to the fallacy of why republicans say white people can’t say white power, but blacks can say black power.

Every time a White Person is shown acting a fool (Maury, Jerry etc) its only that individual, but when a Black Person is acting a fool its the entire race. (Their are just as many if not more per-portion of whites on there then blacks)

We need context…stop judging our own race as a whole.

White people have thousands of “Empire” like shows…black people have 1 and its this “coon” “race-tratior bull crap”. We can’t have a good-scandalous amoral time without being demeaned by our own race as an outsider?

Bob Johnson?..I don’t blame the him…
He came up with a product to sell that made money, he did.
Doesn’t matter, countless inventions today and in the future will also put millions out of a job, as more people get poor.

Kids dropped out of school, showed no discipline..baby daddy drama bla bla

And I could care less, either you get rode over by the train of capitalism/greed or you can ride atop it. Either way the train of capitalism/greed will move on no matter what your irrelevant-self has anything to say about it.

Dismissed.

These daytime exploitation shows are an abomination to all cultures – and most especially to America’s Black Culture. How they survive is a sad testament to the willing participants and the home viewers alike!

I wish ending their presence in our lives, and the negative stereotyping of mainly Blacks they promote, was as easy as telling people to stop appearing in and viewing this daytime trash-vision (T.V.).

But Whites aren’t the only experts at exploitation – Blacks who prostitute themselves for $$$ by appearing and acting like fools on these shows have clearly mastered the art of self-exploitation!

Somebody smoking Blunts and full is themselves, I’m tempted to cancel Black Doctor, There alway a nigger ready to pull everybody down, and as far as I am concerned, NIGGER (ignorance) think like this and write condescending lies to divide and conquer, Journalism at it worst, totally disgusting. Comedy is comedy! I was going to read the Conyaaaaaya West Whiner article but what every he said or did is minor he no journalist.

Ok, as a Jew married to a black woman (thus I have black children) which means I’m also married to a black family. I can say that some of what you say here is legit and true, but also some of what you say it totally opinionated and out of context. Look, my wife is a Dartmouth/Johns Hopkins educated physician, her mother an economist and a her father a judge. These are smart, educated, successful, black people that like to be “entertained” as anyone else does. As I said before that of what you say that is legit (i.e. Flavor Of Love) should be taken into strong consideration. But Fresh Prince of Bel-Air shouldn’t even be an honorable mention, nonetheless taking swipes at people like Quincy Jones who is a civil rights patriarch in his own right. I think it would be also good if you could write about the accomplishments of someone like Tyler Perry who is the ONLY Black major film studio owner.

At the end of the day, just calm down and chill. Whether Black, White, Mexican, Jewish, Asian, Arab, etc… if there is a buck to be made in it, they’ll exploit it and find many willing participants to partake if the price is right. Believe me, those who know better (like yourself) know it’s bullshit. As for the useful idiots who cares? By the way, I loved that show “Under Covers” I was pissed it got canceled.

Coon shows! Many of the things you mentioned are just that, but shows like the Fresh Prince showed a diverse side of life. Carlton was not the big joke…he was a highlight. He showed that there was another side of life and that you can succeed if you stick your dreams. In the end he got princeton and the best friend in a cousin, and Will until the very last episode was clutching to succeed. Carlton called him the grasshopper to his ant, in reference to the Aesop fable, and in the end Will failed and needed saving, proving to the audience that his way of life isn’t that great. I believe that you missed that lesson when you looked soley at the basics.

In reference to the comments, Girlfriends showed successful black women in all walks of life, the characters that were created were fictional but not unlike women we know. The same goes for Martin. To degrade the shows that show successful black people who still act like people we know is, in the same sense, asking for something fictitious to be displayed on or television sets. Then we would would be upset for not thoroughly being represented.

These shows are a testimony to the power of White supremacy. Dr. Wade Nobles wrote: “Powere is the ability to define reality and to convince other people that it is their definition.” Each of these shows display the behavior of its participants in the name of culture while they manipulate the prideless and/or greedy to act in ways that the world has come to chalk up to Black culture.
