I wonder if they get upset about BET stereotyping blacks in the movies and shows they have on?
oh my. our future is looking dimmer every week.
Would a white South African coming to America be known as an “African-American” too?
Teresa Heinz-Kerry says YES!
Blackula....and the other “black” movies of the past several decades were bad enough....now a regular trash weekly...
Hire Spike Lee,he’ll figure it out.
LOL.... that about sums it up.
What is they always say... its just art imitating real life?
“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?”
It’s what I put on my application and resubmit after I am turned down for a position with that company.
More than once I have gone in for an interview and the HR person looks oddly at me. I know what she is thinking and she cannot ask it. Funniest thing to do.
they have nothing to sell but...‘Ghettofied’ ‘Coonery’, and the author eschews the term “african American”.
this is a mystery to me
"After showing a clip of the knock-down, drag-out, drink-throwing, weave-pulling catfight between Cookie and Anika, the conversation turned to whether the Fox hip-hop drama negatively portrays African-American culture."
Just how does one "negatively portray" a sub-culture that has in recent years willingly and deliberately degenerated itself into the most sub-human thuggish behavior on the planet? Okay, maybe the second worst, after the muslim sub-humans; but the point needs to be made.
there seems to be no end of confusion in the mind of the critic.
Charles Manson Negatively Portrayed?
I am so sick of this “race discussion” I could scream....in fact I think I will. :-)
.
If so, “Empire” wouldn’t be the first FOX show to depict African-American culture in a bad light.
Isn’t “COPS” still running on FOX?
its tiresome. indeed.
Im shocked that it still has a draw.
P.T. Barnum must have been correct... re suckers.
So, you’re not down with the “coonery”?
Sounds like fun! I would love to see the reaction myself. Next time I find myself needing a job, I might try that.
bad boys bad boys whatcha gwine do
whatcha gwine do when they come for you....
evidently that was deemed to be RACIST as there weren’t enough white criminals on the show to BALANCE things out
“I would love to see the reaction myself. Next time I find myself needing a job, I might try that.”
Oh, I didn’t need the job. When there is something I am interested in and it fits my profile, I usually put in an app so I can work on interviewing skills.
My daughters High School taught never fill in race.
