I get a real kick out of watching a movie set in like 12th century Britain and seeing black knights. That shite cracks me up it’s so ludicrous.

I sure miss the idea of having predominantly black shows like a Martin/Fresh Prince and then predominantly white shows that still included side black characters like a Married With Children/King of Queens. Best friend is black, etc. I also miss just having a Seinfeld where they don't force any main characters to be nonwhite. Basically, if a pilot or concept is great then I miss it being okay without forcing things.

Hopefully all these good scripts are picked up by channels that just want ratings and these woke stations lose their arse with shite programming

Just started their new show "Home economics" and they really are pushing the mixed race lesbians as much as they can.

can't watch a commercial without a mixed race couple or queers



I was watching a documentary on the manipulation of social media and they had this clip where they had a white woman with 3 white kids but a black husband. Why could they keep it simple and focus on the subject and used a white dude?

I mean if the Cosby show had a white dad, wouldn’t people say wtf?!

Good for you. Now enjoy your lower ratings and fewer advertising dollars because you are pushing an agenda rather than airing your best content. Bold business decision, and I wish you luck.

Every TV show these days on major networks is heavily SJW/progressive.


It’s the same with children’s cartoons. I was watching a cartoon on Nick with my nephew recently. It’s called “The Loud Family”. Group of kids doing kid things, basically. Thing is, this “family” has two dads, one white and one black.

These people are slowly normalizing everything they choose.

Considering Yellowstone, one of the most popular TV shows currently running, employs an Asian for the lead Indian role then me thinks your looks matter much more than your actual blood.

The audience loves shoehorned characters and stories. Please give us more.

Oh he bout to find out what his audience wants when the wokeness causes a big ratings dump.

I am pretty sure they will still get ad dollars. These marketing/PR companies will force companies to use them or they will destroy them like they did with Papa John Founder.

If they wanted to accurately depict interracial marriages it would be white guys with Asian women and latina women.

Well, yeah, but most of them are just bitter, used up, white women getting revenge on their dads, so we all know that's not going to happen.

Keep in mind that anything Disney will push the gay stuff way harder than the racism.

When all of these companies run out of money because no one is buying their products....and nobody is watching their terrible TV shows....they'll come running back to the whites to get our money. Everybody knows who keeps this country afloat.

I disagree.

Ratings are not the driver anymore.

With cable vanishing in lieu of streaming services, ratings are becoming more and more irrelevant.

Will then the majority be under-represented on the new shows?
