BM/WW IR sightings on TV

[darkcurry]

As for Cassie I can barely go to some of my favorite spots on reddit without dudes uploading her latest new nude scenes from the show. Without having much context in regards to the storylines of this character, it would seem that Cassie's sole purpose is to get naked and arouse the male viewership. And you can't have a sexual character like that be the exclusive squeeze of a black guy. Just the opposite. One must have this white lady throw herself at every other white guy to make up for the fact that she had been sullied by a black man.

Algee Smith comes across as very diplomatic or very naive so far as Levinson is concerned. Then again maybe he is being coy and doesn't want to give away secrets. Gonna be interesting to see what is in store for that Levinson show starring The Weeknd.

There is a well articulated article I seen a few years ago that describes this very thing. I can't think of it right now but maybe you know what I'm talking about. Interesting enough her movie The Vouyeurs played out similarly.

The key thing about the Weeknd's show is that it is a black male lead show so it is very interesting how this show will play out.

Speaking of which, a pro-black YouTuber I'm subscribed to did 2-3 whole videos last month about how big name actresses won't have a BM love interest until they hit a certain age when they're considered "washed" or no longer a "sex symbol". I think we've actually had this conversation in the IR movie thread a few year ago. @JamalSpunky Do you agree with this theory?

What spurred dude to do those videos is because of that Melissa Joan Hart Lifetime Christmas film that aired last month. He really feels some type of way that she didn't have a BM love interest back in the 90's-2000's during the prime of her career. LOL.

Stella Stevens, Jacqueline Bisset, Margot Robbie, AnnaLynne McCord, Elizabeth Olsen, Phoebe Dynevor, Hilary Duff are some of the exceptions I can think of right now.

But Melissa Joan Hart DID have a black love interest on her show Sabrina The Teenage Witch

As far as I'm concerned they did Algee Smith a favor. The thought of those writers writing for a strait Black male character scares the daylights out of me. No wonder Astro who was originally supposed to portray Mckay left the show, he already saw the writing on the wall.

Melissa Joan Hart kiss Donald Faison on teenaged witch, the relationship didn't last long but it happened. And it's funny because she just recently said in a interview that Faison is who she would want as a love interest in one of these Christmas movies.

I was not on Twitter back then but based on message boards and YouTube stuff, I would say that while Dolls was liked, the white guy still got more love. But he still may have come i second place to folk's #1 wish of having Wynonna end up gay. Dolls came up as choice #3. But it wasn't as if I was privy to all of the fans' opinions so I may be wrong. However in my initial post I never claimed there weren't any examples of audiences favoring the black guy; just that such a scenario was the rarity.

We all know it's a rarity I just thought it was important to point out that it happens.

Haley Atwell, Anna Paquin, Sarah Hyland, Alexandra Daddario, Olivia Wilde, Kristen Bell, Tiffani Theisen, Krysten Ritter, Jessica Lowndes, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kate Walsh, Nina Dorbrev, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Johnson, Kate Hudson, Julia Stiles, Ellen Barkin to name a few.

Well Anna Paquin was one considered "past her prime" and waited til she was old. But some of those other names are ones I can remember now as well. Including Ms Atwell. Did you see All Is By My Side?

I would also suggest that often white female celebs, or non-black female celebs, won't have a real life black boyfriend/lover until they are past their "prime" too.

Is it all intentional so far as being cast alongside black men? hard to say. certainly we know of a couple examples in which a white actress turned down a part when a black man was cast or chosen as a replacement to the previous slotted white male star. But we can't prove that was because of race, only suspect. Also let us not forget that more often than not the casting decisions aren't being made by actors. There could have been dozens of white actresses who would have never had any issue having a black male love interest but it never happened because Hollywood tends to not put black men in the proximity of white women on screen. Not to mention that there have been white actresses who did have clout who personally requested or went to bat for a black actor whom they wanted as a co-lead.

I think more often than not White actresses are down with having a Black male love interest but sometimes it's out of their control.

Did you guys catch the quick elevator intimate scene between her and another doctor? I don't think Edwin is going to have much of a role if something between her and the other doctor will be starting. It could be a tease like what New Amsterdam did.

CBS finally dropped a 2nd trailer for "Good Sam" with Edwin Hodge in a couple scenes that confirms our speculation:

I sorta agree with @darkcurry that this is too good to be true & they might "New Amsterdam" that 'ship.

Y'all still think they gonna New Amsterdam this 'ship on "Good Sam"?

On last week's episode (Season 1, Episode 3), they established Edwin Hodge's Father, who is both a big money donor & the chairman of the board of the hospital, is not feelin' Edwin's 'ship with Sophia Bush. Fortunately Edwin stood up for their 'ship to his father at the end of the episode:

& on this week's episode (Season 1, Episode 4) despite Edwin Hodge & Sophia Bush's characters having their 1st bedroom scene, the episode heavily played up the triangle involving Sophia Bush's ex & subordinate colleague:

They do make it feel pretty clear that she tells Edwin he has no reason to be threatened, and the white guy is made to look pretty insecure and unthreatening. But it is TV and the fact that they are even teasing a triangle means there will be one. But I think Edwin should be in good shape.

Yeah I got a feeling Edwin gonna come out on top in this one. Sophia character has made it pretty clear she don't want the ex. Actually the White ex come off a little like somebody who can't take a hint.

Yeah this is one of the rare times where they made you felt good about the black guy involved in the love triangle.

But here we are once again with the IR between the black man and the white woman having great chemistry! Sam & Malcom is what we hoped out of David & Kristen(EVIL). No need to ruin this. I'm enjoying Sophia and Edwin's chemistry with their characters.

Didn't know my boy Sam Richardson was in this.

Yo....When Malcolm's Father had that disapproval look on his face earlier in last week's episode, was I the only person worried that the show was gonna pull a "series premiere of New Amsterdam" & make his disapproval of Malcolm & Sam's 'ship be about race?

LOL! I can't get over that series premiere & 1st season of "New Amsterdam". You know how fans of TV shows will talk about how a 'ship on a TV show is "forced"? Well "New Amsterdam" is probably the 1st tv show where I seen 'ship not happening was "forced".

Speaking of David and Kristen I'm looking forward to what they do with them in season 3. Where do they go from the kiss?
