BM/WW IR sightings on TV

1-I'm not going to count any sex scene JC did with some random black male character while playing a druggie as being my view of IR.
2-Sofia Vergara is a non-white Latina so that's no big deal. Growing up in Compton he probably doesn't object to Hispanic women anyway.
3-Still laughing at how John Singleton kept trying to promote Tyrese as the Black Tom Cruise. I mean come on. Let the guy be his own man, and not the "black" anything. Plus Tyrese isn't even that good.
4-Stan Lee had zero control over how Marvel characters were portrayed as on the screen, and the includes casting decisions. Besides he had left Marvel Comics decades way before Jessica Jones was even created.

I'm not going to count it as IR. Just noting that it IS IR though regardless. In the movie Shelter she ALSO played a drug addict and prostitute that was doing things with that security guard that was letting them stay in that building. I'm sure that's coincidence though because that movie was loosely based the homeless couple outside of their NY apartment.

But the main reason I pointed that out was JC was obviously very open with roles. And I think she did have another black love interest in a movie so I don't know what was missed.

I'm with @The Dark King and @ColiBreh1 on this about Sofia's race...BUT she did play up the latina part in the movie. I think John Singleton pander to the Black Gynocracy(lets start calling them that.) but not that much.

Sofia Varga is white passing af. If you didn't hear her speak she could easily pass for Italian or Greek. Her and Catherine Zeta Jones looks like they're from the same family

The first pics I ever saw the of her she had the same complexion of JLo. Is JLo also passing for white even though she has played an Italian on screen?

And excuse the quality of video of this clip but when you first saw this scene did you immediately think "oh, what a hot WHITE chick this is"?


Granted there are Greeks and Italians and Armenians and some Spaniards who have olive skin but are classified as white. But the semi or relative darkness of their complexions allowed them to play non-white Latinos for decades in Hollywood.

Real talk any man who can last more than 15 minutes (no cheating) deserves our utmost respect. That woman is a walking divorce case

So Francia Raisa goes for black men. Or that is her crowd. You would think her crowd would be close to what Selena Gomez's crowd is.

Yeah she had an arc with a few black guys on the other show. She actually ended up with the actor who plays the gangster on Runaways on that show.
Fun tid bit she gave her kidney to best Silena Gomez

Oh she definitely got a type. I"m watching the series premiere of "Grown-ish" right now & there's a series of scenes where they introduce her character Ana. The narrator/Zoey mentions Ana & her family are your typical devout Catholic White Cuban Republicans from Miami, BUT she has a "secret shame". The scene shown onscreen when it mentions her having a "secret shame" is Ana opening up her bible while lighting candles & praying. Hidden inside the bible is a picture of former president Obama with a love heart drawn over his face. She take the pic out of the bible to kiss it, hides the pic back in the bible, closes the bible & looks around to make sure nobody saw her.

Basically what church-going brothas did with Cindy Crawford in the 80s.

Watching the 3rd episode of "Grown-ish". I can't believe they used the word "Dicc" (in the context of bragging about sending dicc pics to females) on a Freeform show. Especially on a show that's a spinoff of network family sitcom.

It's on Freeform and I have heard the word 'shit' being used a lot on Cloak And Dagger so I guess they're trying to embrace the cable side. Not to mention I did see a sex scene on another show. They didn't show anything that would be considered "graphic" nudity but to your point Freeform is a part of Disney/ABC.

I think you can get away with saying a word like "Shit" or "Bitch" once or twice in a PG-13 movie/TV-14 cable show. But the line dude used, "Your dick will bring a woman to tears", is straight-up R-rated movie/TV-MA show content.

Yeah, well like I said at the tail end of that there was a full on sex scene on Freeform. I wish I could remember the name of the show.
 
Watching the 4th episode of "Grown-ish" & I just saw some annoying unnecessary pandering....


There's a scene where they're discussing how college athletes don't get paid despite how much these schools make money from athletic programs & Trevor Jackson's character Aaron, who is the resident woke SJW on this show, says something along the lines of "Once again, the system profits off the backs of the Black Man". After he says that the black female characters look at him to check him, than he cowardly says "or woman".

SMH, EVERY college women's sport is considered a "non-revenue sport". So Aaron had it right the first time.


EDIT:

LMAO, The star basketball player character went just put up a statline of 51 points & 13 assists at the end of the episode. That's so unrealistic because, CBB games are shorter than NBA games and CBB is more team-oriented than the NBA, so IRL star CBB players don't go off like star NBA players putting up 40-50 points in a game.

I’ve not seen the show, so correct me if I’m wrong, but, isn’ this a show about a black girl? If you are looking for shows that do not pander, that is probably the last show you should be watching. I am also willing to bet that the writers room is full of boomqueeshas.

I watched the moderately engaging pilot yesterday. The Rook is based on a novel about a clandestine group of officials and meta-humans working for the UK government. The protagonist is experiencing memory loss intentionally caused by a fellow agent. On the Drama, Action, Mystery Thread there are teasers.

Bruh, I'm watching 10th episode right now & and I had to pause the episode at the 2:13 mark to comment in this thread because of how the plot is shaping up for this episode. The opening segment is about how a certain group of women are the least desired on dating apps especially by non-BM and the scene ends with 9 BW standing in a corner of a club drinking their drinks while they give death stares to a BMWW couple that walks by. The first 43 seconds of the scene after the opening intro before I pressed paused, the twin sisters are obsessing over all the BMWW couples in the club and questioning why don't BM date BW anymore.


EDIT:

Here are couple scenes from the episode:
