I found out about archetypes, stereotypes, media engineering that eventually plays into social engineering and the social hierarchy in America. How certain characters are placed above others, subtexts, all of that stuff. It really turned me off to television.

Learned a lot in regards to race and the media too and that was it for me. I didn't want to waste my time with the shytz anymore.

I remember all of those years watching these shows, having my favorite characters and heroes and having to perform all of these mental gymnastics to relate to the roles. I remember for a little bit thinking to myself when I was young how much I wanted to be white just to be like Spider-Man, just to be like those super heroes. I just really got sick and tired of the criminal lack of representation when it came to black people on Television to the point I don't care about it anymore.

I was that black kid that wore glasses in my school...so eventually (especially growing up in the early 90s when Family Matters was popular) I was just called Urkle mercilessly. Then Jacquese from the Real World...then whatever black guy had glasses that was on a popular TV show. Not even like Basketball players (I got ridiculed mercilessly as well for not being some uber athletic basketball player, got called "white boy" by other black kids for doing good in school, and was shunned by everyone else).

Bottom line, TV feeds into America's love for convience and ignorance. Rather than draw their own conclusions about people and things, they'd rather let a magazine, TV show, or article written by someone else decide how they should feel about something without putting any thought into it.

Thread title should read "After not gettin p*ssy for 6 years, actually Im still a virgin so I feel out of the loop - Free daps for anyone that can convince me that my life has a purpose...no matter how small"

And now your rep has disappeared!!! :gladbron:

Wow...can't even try to have an intelligent discussion on this board without some troll trying to start some sh!t. Sometimes this board pisses me off more than it helps me to relax and rewind.

I know this is a Free Daps 4 All thread, but am I supposed to dap this?

You and winb can compete for the most insufferable, pedantic, suicidal-sounding, depressing, "woe-is-me, but please come look at my misery and empathize with me"---people on this site. Goodness. A lot of people don't have cable and many people don't watch many popular shows...they all cater to different demographics.

I'll dap anyone that can get you to therapy.

I can't even watch news like that anymore. I used to watch TV heavily and I noticed how each decade, standards and writing get lower and lower. Thank God for the internet because the idiot box ain't cutting it anymore.

This dumb b*stard is disregarding an art form because he thinks it makes him look cultured. Are you going to stop looking at oil paintings, too?
