Ellen Pompeo rejects Onscreen Interracial romance

The Dark King said:
To be fair she's married and has a biracial child. Hardly just rolling around having fun.
And remember this was in the infancy of her career in a profession that doesn't give many opportunities. This very well could have been her only shot so like I said I get it. And her decision ultimately led to a flagship show that spawned other shows that support and highlight the very thing we love and support. So in my eyes it was the best play.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything but is it really supporting our love if she can't do it in front of everyone? Wouldn't what she did be kinda equivalent to a woman telling you she loved you, but she's not comfortable introducing you to her parents for fear of losing her inheritance from daddy's will?

Maybe I'm just pissy, who knows, but that's what her attitude feels like to me. Either support it fully or gtfo. Just my opinion.

But that's work and that's totally different than social in my opinion.
It's about career choices for her and her family. Making a stand is all well and good but not at the expense of your kids welfare and future.
Like I said I totally get it and it's totally the same thing as losing a trust fund and I wouldn't blame someone in that situation. This life shit ain't no game and no one needs to be losing job opportunities when they're so few. How else are they suppose to eat.

Seriously

I remember the whole drama in porn with white actresses saying fucking blacks on film would destroy their career and earning potential

If you can't support me in every aspect of life, don't waste your time at all. I hear you, I just see things differently. Agree to disagree my friend.

lol exactly. I'm from Westchester and went to prep school so it would be the latter. Hell might make it to Senator lol.

But real talk I am beginning to have a little sympathy for people in those positions. She's obviously not opposed to IR but she has a career to think about. We aren't the ones who will give her an opportunity when shit flops and apparently she knew what she was doing.

Its kinda like those pornstars like Nikki Benz who date BM for years in real life but made the adult entertainment audience wait over 11 years for her to do that JJV joint she dropped last year: Nikki Benz Jungle Fever.

This is a bullshit world we live in aint it? Nikki Sexx was my girl on ADT and she made us wait over three years (despite her personal proclivity for BM) because that was how the business was run by the powers that be she said

aint this a bitch....im gonna agree with tdk twice in one darn week.

shoot me now.
 
I cannot say that Ellen Pompeo is a contradiction, but when it comes to a career(i.e. money, work on future films and shows),it all becomes a struggle to survive. Like the old Hollywood saying goes; "You're only as good as your last picture."

Actor Eriq LaSalle rejected a onscreen interracial romance with actress Alex Kingston on ER. LaSalle didn't want to reject his black female fans of the show and he said that he wanted to be in shows that show more black love. Eriq LaSalle was trying to survive, too.

No one knows the future of a show; that is determined by the viewers. And if a supporting actor/actress becomes a lead, expectations will be high because all the world is a stage and you have to play your part well.

Or, as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson famously said, "Know your role."
 
I'm actually glad she didn't play the IR role on Greys Anatomy...she was a great match for Dempsey...her mother had an IR with the chief of staff...Meredith just found out this last season that she has a biracial sister ... Meredith also adopt a black baby a few seasons ago...she embraces black enough on the show and in real life

So cut the crap about her not doing enough to be pro black...she probably doesn't drag her brown babies around trying to get cat calls from black men...way more class than a white woman that would stoop to that level just to find a black dick to move into her house

Totally not where I was going. But be careful of hypocrasy for all agreeing with this. Because once you make a case for one racial event, others will follow believing a good way to avoid IR is because of a lot reasons I see of those in defense of ellen's decision. And the progress will go back down.
 
Once again as I said she criticized the emmys for lack of diversity. They could easily go with the defense of "People aren't ready to see diversity on screen" or "We have a diverse crew working on the show that's enough" or "Career choices for money".

It works both ways. That's why the best thing to do is to not play the race game at all. She played it and her critic of the emmy's is now hypocritical, because she played the race game and gave a reason for it, and so did they. Who is right and who is wrong is all just a matter of opinion.
