This is the kind of hyperbole which just makes you look ridiculous. So white audiences are "suffering" because there is a show on a network which they don't have to watch. Holy shite...we are fricked.

Wrong

I work in television and used to work at a FOX Affliate in a market that was only 3% black. We had inventory in the Monday Night 8p-9p block on FOX we could not sell because Empire did 0 ratings in our market. When I said suffer I said it was our station suffering since we got no money for that inventory. We could not sell it.

Aren't you the same guy who said the NBA has a literal script that they follow?

The only reason to post this crap is to start a fight. I grew up in rural Louisiana and we watched Porter Waggoner, Hee_Haw and the Lawrence Welk so on Saturday nights not once did anyone in my family complain that we had to watch a bunch of shows with no black people on them.

Why would Fox TV cater to the "urban" audience you lament about if it didn't make them money? I'm not a fan of shows that reinforce black stereotypes so I don't watch Empire. On the other hand, if you can't watch a show simply because the people are brown you have a serious problem.
