Part of me cannot bring myself to understand what seems to be a clear case of colorism that Lee Daniel has.
Every dark skinned person is a criminal, ghetto assistant, and now they're just skipping to dessert in the recent episode by straight up calling us "ugly".
I addressed this a couple weeks ago, and this recent episode just brought it back to mind.
But part of me is asking.....is he really the person who suffers from colorism, or is he simply portraying the TRUTH of what goes on in our community? Many of us dark skinned black people are referred to as soot, ugly, burnt...look at what Azaeila Banks goes through on a regular basis...nearly every insult hurled at her is in regard to her skin complexion, or that she's "ugly". When she clearly isn't.
So are we getting in Lee's ass for good reason or are we just upset that he's putting the TRUTH out there? :uhh:
Fantasia Loaf didn't really strike me as the "dark skin" rapper... If anything she is a "dyke" rapper. Maybe that is why she got called ugly, cause she is butchy.
I noticed that too. It was so random too, like... Um how did you get by security to shout these things :dead:
I definitely think it's a bit of both scenarios, but more so him and how he views it tbh
That girl is pretty to me :dead:

I was disgusted. It's becoming a trend in this show.
But I had to think, maybe it sucks when someone puts up a mirror to the community sometimes. This is actually real mess. Which is why we can kind of pinpoint the root of a lot of these "random insults", as well as the casting.
Well lee daniels i dont think is the head writer hes ep
Just like shonda rhimes doesnt write htgawwm but shes the ep
But yeah
Yea that didn't sit well with me either. Just felt unnecessary to say and out of place. He could've kept the insults focused on her being a wack rapper.
There is a fine line between depicting something just to do it, or criticize it. The context is key.
I don't watch Empire but based on yalls critique earlier, I think he is colorist.
Yeah shes not ugly but her attitude and dykness is horrible
What makes her voice so deep?
I don't think he's colorist
none of the characters are perfect even the light skin ppl
the only one that he's biased with IMO is Jamal

None of them are flat out called UGLY though
this isn't really about the hardships and struggles of each character or their personality traits. Thats usually what Tyler perry gets lashed for (Light skin man saving the damsel in distress from dark evil man) but Lee's thing is a bit different.
Does the Loaf really give DARK skinned though. Gaboury, Malcolm, Naomi, DMX turned Lecrae give me dark skin.
As far as the rapper, her gimmick is being a butch with no manners or style.
Fucking Fantasia Loaf :plzstop:

we can take this outside faggot
N
how dare you call a dark skinned man a faggot
:stressed:
I do think he has some internal color issues
i dont know
but the show is god awful....from the script to the acting...im still trying to support.....its only a matter of time before the ratings plummet...... taraji, hakeem and the 'funny' ghetto assistant need to be replaced if they want this show to last more than two seasons
and jussie too...

I'm sure he sanctions all this light skinned nigger exalting, while bringing down the darker skinned bvys in some way. If it continues, I hope more people point it out so that they can hopefully put a stop to it. :ermm:
I don't think he is
The family just happens to be casted as lighter mainly because of the parents. And they look believable as a family.
But he's made sure he has all type of colors of Blacks on the show

Not true
Look at Anika
It's not about perfection, just how they are depicted physically
Tho I will say I think he favors and adores Jussie
Like Gabby being the comedic slave reflief.

But they look believable. And TBH the sons aren't even that light.
To whites I'm sure they're still dark. They aren't high yellow or anything.

For a TV show where the actors aren't related in the first place it would make it harder to make it believable that they are a family. In real life you already have chemistry and resemblance beyond skin color, it also allows more complex scenarios. In fiction the more you have to explain the more does it hinder the plot. Having Jussie with Akon's complexion would have been difficult to integrate seemlessly into the show.
And Anika is a dummy ho, had she been dark, people would have called it colorist too.
I mean empire the label is gheto fabulous as well as legit i think thats why they have some of these weird characters

But I think that's the other side of it
She's used and abused because of her looks and light skin.
They made her sleep with a white lesbian :dead:
Lee definitely views life a certain way, a plantation type of way :dead:

Cookie is an ex-con
Luscious is a drug dealer

And what I can't stand is how we have blacks winning and our community is the first to try and tear them down. Tyler is a fag, Lee hates himself, Shonda is a White mans whore. It's like, STOP! We're winning right now and they doing great things for our community. Shut up; worried about some damn skin color differences. We create the division ourselves sometimes.

The thread alone proves it.
Yawl stay talking About the show and actors
And name another Black Show breaking these kinds of records
And it has singles/soundtracks selling on iTunes
Empire is killing
Just look at how fast all the celebs tried to hop on it
Whether u like it or not; empire is the show everyone's talking about

Just because a show breaks records with viewership and mess
Doesn't make it iconic
Ah mean.. Is Susan Boyle an icon?
Y'all really don't know the definition of iconic
James brown is ICONIC and doesn't have a fourth of Michaels success..
Okay and Michael is Iconic too

Numbers don't lie love
Empire is going to book for years to come
Sorry Hun but Empire only has one more season left inside of them
PLEA' empire will be around for years

I think sometimes we get too fckn sensitive
And what I can't stand is how we have blacks winning and our community is the first to try and tear them down. Tyler is a fag, Lee hates himself, Shonda is a White mans whore. It's like, STOP! We're winning right now and they doing great things for our community. Shut up; worried about some damn skin color differences. We create the division ourselves sometimes.

Its that crabs in a barrel bullshit
but when these shows get cancelled
and they put white ppl back on these prime time shows
it's gonna be "oh whitey keeping us down!"
It's a mess
Exactly.
I'm not surprised. The girls in here hating are the same ones buying Justin Bieber singles and albums. Go somewhere and find your pride with your whore bed wench selves.

But I think that's the other side of it
She's used and abused because of her looks and light skin.
They made her sleep with a white lesbian :dead:
Lee definitely views life a certain way, a plantation type of way :dead:

Then you have Naomi, Derek Luke, Jennifer Hudson, Tyra Farrell, Kelly Rowland who have serious dramatic roles
Black ppl just can't let others succeed

Im sorry but I have to agree this time.
He's brought so many celebs in, especially dark ones TBH .
In addition to the ones you named: Chris Rock, Estelle, Snoop, Mary, Tasha Smith etc...
If anything the non blacks are the ones being shitted on
Look at Anika and the White girl
NONE of them are being called ugly soot Niggers though

Exactly, and we all know the underlying shade to the whole getup and story behind "Becky" is that it's very unlikely that someone that dark of a hue would have fully white parents.

I don't want my concern to be taken as a jab to the show itself.
I ALWAYS tune in and I think it's an awesome show overall.
There's just specks here and there...
the way they cast and make jokes of us. That gave me a bit of pause. That's all
yeah
I don't think it's fair to act like we have to like and accept everything about these shows cause they're black.
