Issue: Black folks are not happy with our people's representation in entertainment.  Who's to Blame? 

You know what?  I realized Black folks are still pretty unhappy with their representation in entertainment.  A few weeks ago when the Oscar contenders were announced, people felt Selma star David Oyelowo was snubbed because he didn't get a nomination for best actor.  Then in some Facebook blogging I learned that the new Fox show Empire, which has a black cast, is dangerous. Also, I've definitely seen folks call the show Blackish, coonery.   

  • Is it because Blacks are under represented in Television and movies?  
  • Do the networks and powers that be, just have a hard time creating Black characters that meet all Black folks' approval? 
  • But seriously, is it even possible to please all black folks?
