im just genuinely trying to understand...
we're back on primetime TV...something that was missing for years and we complained every bit of the way
now we're back....and we want shows with us axed.
is it lee daniels that rubs the gorls the wrong way?
im just tryna understand....not tryna be shady or start mess but am looking for explanations as to why we chuckle a bit at its slow demise.
because blacks hate seeing other blacks be successful.
i liked empire firs season
tha writin went to shit tho
i hate tht it didnt reach tha potential i think it had
sad to see it goin out like this

I knew this was coming, but lemme break it down for you..
I don't nor have I ever wished on Beyonce's downfall, I don't like her
but I've never outright said I hope that she fails...
that's the difference here.
I never liked him...from the Monique mess..and I didn't start watching until season 2.
But I like the show and Im caught up.
I am at work when it comes on, but I have hulu :sobusyjetsetter:
its just you hags that like to complain about EVERY-DAMN-THING
Because the show is terrible and it is painful to watch.
Because it's awful. It should be more than just being happy being "back on primetime". Happy being "GREAT and on primetime".
self hate
even whites with corny or not very well written material still dont want to remove themselves off of tv

well melendria i agree :dead: :dead: :dead:
Why not?
Flopping is a stretch tho
The show fell off...
Nobody want the show off air they just laugh at the rating drop, just like ppl cackle at an artist decline.
I think a lot of ppl are into power and I don't see them saying they want the show off air.
Also Lee Daniels is problematic.
Never bothered to watch

At the end of the fucking day and there are a lot of poorly written, white trash shows on TV.
bc it fckn sucks
I don't think we should be obligated to support somethin just because we're niggers. Blackish is doing well, right? I don't ever hear anyone drag that.
ohh
Maybe I should've read the OP LMAO

I think the kids are too white washed but its funny

cosbys
my wife and kids
the Bernie mac show
empire is rich but with hood mentality still

i don't think my question was "why aren't you guys supporting/engaged/watching" it was more so questioning why many of us are on the opposite side of that spectrum.
because it's terrible :dead:
White black or brown ..
It's just not good

plus when they released the actors salaries I was hoping this would get axed
And his new show Star should flop too
We've got to stop letting ppl like Lee speak for all of us.

Don't think it's necessarily because they're black
But because of how popular the show is
Most people like to align themselves or completely shun something immensely popular

The fact that it's discussed means we like it enough to even speak its name. Other white shows we couldn't care less for we don't even mention. Just because I drag Ghana or Ciara, doesn't mean that when it comes down to them being compared to a white equivalent I won't prefer them.
I think within our select spectrum of shows we even CONSIDER watching and like enough to potentially chune in, Empire doesn't do fantastically but overall most probably prefer it over 95% of TV shows.

And also because people don't know how to ignore and congratulate the success of things they don't like. In this day and age, you have to either love something or hate it...you can't be in the middle or not care.
