yea, am a bit tired of the "black folks don't wanna see other black folks succeed" bit
we're not obligated to support everything another black person does...
I see points made on both sides of the fence...
on one hand it's like...everyone's entitled to an opinion. being black doesn't mean we must agree with every black politician, like all black shows, etc.
but on the other hand .... many of us often complain about lack of opportunities and recognition, but when we see it before our eyes, we don't support.
I think a happy mean between the two would be simply switching your TV to the channel for that hour. Just to show Nielsen ratings that you have tuned in, which in turn would show that black shows are pulling in viewers, and consequently more ad revenue....which ultimately would provide more opportunity for black writers and actors to create shows which you may actually enjoy a bit more.
that's just my idea. for those who really are tired of the lack of options for us and opportunity for our people, but don't necessarily like the show itself. just turn it on and then go do something else.
