Fox is particularly awful. It appears their goal is to coarsen and debauch anything they touch.

I hate the commercials for the show, so I know I wouldn’t watch it. However from the comercials, it totally looks like black stereotypes from start to finish.

What’s an “African-American?” Many of these people don’t have any connection to the natives of Africa. Hell, many don’t know the FIRST THING about Africa. Would a white South African coming to America be known as an “African-American” too?

hether the Fox hip-hop drama negatively portrays African-American culture. I watched two episodes.
It is certainly a negative portrayal.
The question, really, is whether or not it is accurate.

I think it was Eric Bolling who said Empire is the first show since 1991 to increase viewership in each subsequent episode

I teach in a predominantly Black High School (85% Black, 14% Latino and 1% White and Asian.) and I must say that the above statement is 100% correct. That IS most of this generation of Black America. It’s been “ghetto” for a long time. Now, it is gangsta/thug-ghetto. Fo sho bro.

Though I am not among them, you would be incorrect. For the last 3 weeks, it has been the most watched show in the 18-49 age bracket.

After showing a clip of the knock-down, drag-out, drink-throwing, weave-pulling catfight between Cookie and Anika... You mean sorta like the viral videos we see week in & week out of Black Beastie Girls brawling it out.
To: EnigmaticAnomaly
the whole “African-American” fiasco is just that a FIASCO.
I have known precisely ONE actual African American....Originally.from Nigeria. He didnt refer to himself as an African-American
the headline reads in part....”Black Scholar on CNN “
so whats wrong with that “designation”???

If there is a way, Fox will find it.
