How are they 100% of the guests on all daytime talk shows, 100% of the stories on morning television, damn near 100% of all TV commercial actors.. and on and on and on.. It's bizarre and it has to be a ton of work to find only black actors and guests with them being 10%ish of the population.
Are white folks that boring?

There are pushing a narrative. Black women especially. They make up 7% and they are taking up ALL roles on TV.

Imagine trying to find a gay, trans, black woman. That has to be like finding Amelia Erhardt.

Don’t forget local channel news anchors and reporters. They are at least 50% of those positions.

Anne Boelyn on BBC...with what's called "Blind Casting" where anyone of any race can play any part.



Keep me posted when we have "Blind Casting" for a WWII movie and German soldiers or Hitler shows up looking like a United Colors of Benneton ad from the 80s...

What?

According to this UCLA study, Black people are 18% of actors involved in TV broadcast shows.

But from 1950 to 1990, they were massively underrepresented.

If the gheys are 5% of the population, how are they almost a third of all characters on TV/in movies these days?

The overrepresentation is a feature not a bug.

media shows you the america they want you to see. not the america that is.

Take Maher's point about more than half of dems thinking 25%+ percent of covid patients needed hospitalization. these ideas dont come from nowhere.

The United States is the only country in the world where 12% of the population has the other 88% by the balls.

Who do think the demographic market is these days for television and cable?

I know you already knew this answer but I still appreciate the question being asked.

Come on it's not quite that bad, we have the token white "father" with a black wife and 3 interracial children in the commercials selling butter .

They are considering changing the slogan for " I can't believe it's not butter" to

"Pretty sure that fricking kid ain't mine"

Because the cities are full of black people.

The average American would be shocked to know blacks are 12% of the population.

Black Worship is the American national religion. This has not really changed since 1861.
