More so white males. They will make white males sexy and the object of affection more than they will make him gay.

I have been watching this new scifi show on youtube that I believe @SilverSmith recommended called IMPULSE that centers around sexual assault and the white female character playing the step sister of the main white female character is involved with a black kid who is portrayed as a good kid and she even lost her virginity to him. Her sister the main white female character was sexually assaulted in the first episode by the white male jock... but she has a white boyfriend who is portrayed as her white knight, good kid, ect.
Now even though the girl is interested in the black kid and has had sex with him and everything and he is a good kid like the white boyfriend, here is the thing... SHE'S GAY! She is struggling with her sexual identity and confessed to her step sister that when she lost her virginity to the black kid she didn't really enjoy it. And the real fucked up thing they did to this black kid on this show was the main white female character had a dream where the black kid was about to rape her step sister in the same way the Jock attempted to rape her.

The netflix show Everything Sucks kind of had the same thing happen with the white girl that was moving towards getting involved with the black boy, but she was struggling with her sexual identity and realize that she was gay.

You know what I watched Impulse and really liked it but I didn't catch that point. You're right they did do that whole I may be gay thing again, only difference is she was enthusiastic when she sexually experimented. I give a pass to all things Canada since they get it right far more than they get it wrong.

Although I gave the series a strong recommendation after seeing the pilot, I have yet to see the episode that introduces the Black kid whom you alluded to. Gotta binge-watch my favorite shows soon! YouTube TV doesn't release viewing metrics, so it's going to be interesting to see whether they will renew Impulse for a second season.

Did you catch the attempted rape dream they put the black kid in? It looks like a cool sci-fi story, but all I'll say is be careful with giving anyone passes. The cast is almost all white, they could very well do away with his character.

What Canadian Shows or Movies are you talking about? The only ones I have seen where they aren't screwing over the black male characters were Continuum and Orphan Black. Am I missing some?

My main problem with the premise of Impulse is the whole teleportation powers arch in a teenage drama setting. Cloak and Dagger already has that and is way more popular so they could have trouble finding an audience, especially if people would rather see that arch on Cloak and Dagger.

Other shows like Degrassi Rookies (two of the actors from Impulse were on that show)
I can't think of any others right now but I spent a lot of summers in Toronto growing up its a completely different world fam

I actually like it better on Impulse. Better story but I think they went overboard with wanting that kid dead after him being paralyzed. He got what he deserved but her motivation beyond that was wanting to see him dead. They could have written that better, it could have been the pay off at the end.
She got some poor innocent kid killed and no focus on that. Weird writing but I do want to see the next season.

On Tyler Perry's The Haves And Have Nots there was a lot of gay IR you thought you are watching Logo.

Yeah she got A LOT of fucked up things with her. But what I meant was it is being done already with a more popular, notable character and I don't know if you watch Cloak and Dagger or not, but VERY cool story telling as well. Plus the diversity on Cloak and Dagger is of course 10x better, I'm not giving Impulse a pass with how they doing their one black male of color on the show, and how they did the Interracial relationship story. I stay aware of Hollywood's slick shit and support those out there doing what they don't want to see done with black male characters and them involved in heterosexual Interracial stories. So the edge goes to Cloak and Dagger and any other show with a great story and premise alike.

For instance The New Netflix show The Innocents that's coming soon looks real good!

I saw the flick Tag with homeboy who lives in Oregon has no girlfriend wheras the two WM characters were rivals for that biracial woman played by Racida Jones.

Looks interesting.
You know now that I think about it they had another show on Netflix Inbetween where they killed the one black guy in town who had a short lived IR relationship. His sister was down to kill his killer and suddenly forgives her at the end. Very interesting trend going on.

I know what show you're talking about. They are in their third season now I believe. I haven't seen the show. But yeah The Innocents looks strong judging by the Trailer. And with Cloak and Dagger doing well and already picked up for season 2 we can maybe, MAYBE start to see a different trend. lol.

The Teaser they aired awhile back was also strong, I hope the show is as well.

I don't usually do the whole teen drama thing, but for some reason when they add sci-fi to these Teen dramas they capture my interest.

The network has decided to cancel the beloved time-travel drama from producers Sony Pictures Television Studios. Soures say the studio and network are continuing talks for a potential two-hour movie to wrap up the finale cliffhanger. The drama, which saw NBC stunningly reverse its cancellation after its freshman run, had been in negotiations between producers Sony Pictures Television Studios and NBC.

So looks like there's a chance "Timeless" gets picked-up by Netflix/HULU/Amazon Prime Video or we at least get a 2-hour finale film.

Happy Luke Cage season two day, muddafukkas.

Why do they keep playing with my emotions. Damn

Same, @The Dark King
Now I would rather they just do the movie and get it over with. I understand as @ColiBreh1 pointed out if it was budget constraints, but the show was also making NBC money that they TOTALLY missed on a opportunity in doing. This is a great show that fans and critics have LOVED and didn't deserve these games being played with them.

A movie isn't enough, I'm hopeful a streaming service picks it up as a series.

WAIT, WHAT??!! If you're a fan of the show, you should be rooting for "Timeless" to get picked-up by Netflix. The 2-hr film should be a last resort in case 1 of the streaming servces don't pick-up the show. Netflix shows have different standards & live by different rules than shows airing on Network TV. So moving to Netflix would be a great move for "Timeless".

In fact seeing as how Netflix saved "Lucifer" last week by picking it up for a 4th season, I lowkey wished FOX had cancelled "Gotham" if it meant that Netflix would scoop it up instead of FOX renewing it only for a 10-episode final season.
