I’m a pro-black revolutionary and the author is tripping. Stories like Lucious’ do exist in Hip-Hop. Sean Combs and Shawn Carter immediately pop into mind. Everything can’t be a history lesson or some Horatio Alger story. Get over it. I haven’t seen a stitch of cooning yet. Just powerful black people taking no crap from no one. This is America. No one gets rich without killing or stealing. No one.

Hollywood is doing what it always does, cashing in on what their target audience wants. In this case the hip hop/rap industry which has made millions on “gangsta” stereotypes. The season finale of Empire drew some 16.5 million viewers and according to Variety two thirds of that audience is African-American.

Whether anyone wants to recognize it or not, a lot of characters on television really do exist in real life. Yes, within the black community, there are actual murderers, con artists, and every other type of criminal. No one really watches a tv show and become what they see because it will mean that they are nuts anyway. Black have to realize that sometimes television is what it is: ENTERTAINMENT. Truth be told, if it wasn’t for so many blacks being hired to play these characters, the unemployment rate would be very much higher. Yet, I don’t see groups of black men giving jobs to the jobless.

Empire is the latest show in a long line of black coonery, minstrel show, glorification of thug life and homosexual culture garbage week minded Negroes love to see on TV. Blacks have Maury Povich, Bill Cunningham show, Hip-hop wives, Sorority Sistas, Scandal, but still we can’t get enough. So now it’s Empire, I don’t blame Fox for showing this mess, cause they know Negros will coming running to watch it.

It’s easy to blame FOX for the train wreck that is Empire, yet we overlook the fact that Hollywood is run by white liberals. The Sony execs who made resist comments where longtime Democratic donors.

Brothers and sisters it’s time to stop giving white Democrats a pass, and start holding their asses accountable too. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing to the black community.

Your analysis of Empire is right on. Denzel never received his highest honor until he played a rogue cop which is ironic in light of Ferguson etc. Halle Berry never received her highest honor until she played a woman who lowered herself to sleep with the character played by Billy Bob Thornton. And now a 2015 version of New Jack City called Empire is getting a lot of attention. It seems the powers that be are dead set on emasculating African-American men by placing them in a dress (Tyler Perry, Martin, Jamie Foxx)or casting us as killers, hustlers and thugs. Our people really need to wake up before this next election. If not, we may wake up to slavery all over again.

@ Adam

The reason is because Black people didn’t create our problems. What you see are symptoms of the original problems. All that Tyler Perry is doing isn’t bad. He’s creating jobs and opportunities for a lot of people who wouldn’t normally get them.

Black Unity is the solution, 3ufirst.com is the plan.

Lee Daniels……..is PROBLEMATIC……I DID NOT like ‘Monster’s Ball’… I DID NOT like ‘Precious’……………I attempted to watch the 1st showing of ’empire’…….and I don’t like it either. It is obvious to me that media/movies/television have ulterior motives and intrinsic purposes in projecting very NEGATIVE images of my people….the progenitors of the real Afrakan Egyptians ( nubians, kemetians, bantu….people). This is disgusting and I will NOT cosign for this in ANY WAY………………
