gay black people have more than enough representation in media despite being such a small percentage of the black community.

empire, star, moonlight, pariah, etc.

the problem isn't gay black shows. the problem is how hard it is to get black shows green lit nowadays if it doesn't feature a gay black angle.

straight black men who are not thugs, drug dealers, rappers, athletes, or c00ns are underrepresented in media.

All stories should be told. With that said, this could be my personal biases but I don’t think black male heterosexually has been addressed with intellectual honesty in media yet.

Straight black men are generally depicted as womanizing stereotypes (in a positive or negative context) if not villains to women. No stories about the struggles of black male heterosexuality has ever been greenlit in Hollywood. No black version of ‘Californication’ or ‘American Pie’ anywhere that I can see. But this is ultimately the fault of us. We gotta write complicated stories about ourselves.

Would HBO green light a story like that? Well, my guess is no but until we push the envelope ourselves there’s no way to know.

A lot of people :cape: for booty pirates in here. It's fairly obvious that white America feels threatened by masculine, conscious black men who are not submissive. They want either outright flaming homosexuals or quiet and docile nerds who might as well suck dikk. And who is Amanda Seales? Another black woman siding with white supremacists against black men.

Gay people do exist and their experiences deserve to be represented on TV and in film.

Agreed. Let the gay white, asian and spanish community tell their story and promote their experiences to their people so that the future of their community can deal with the consequences that will inevitably come to fruition.

Black folk on the other hand shouldn't be doing shyt and instead should be on the sidelines laughing at those people's hilarious need to destroy themselves. Because that's exactly what media like this does. It destroys. Slowly and torturously destroys.

:troll:

nikkas be gay as fukk bro. I’ve learned that recently. I learned about a few gay nikkas I grew up with and og’s. That shyt hurt my heart.

But u right.

We only get a tv show when we are Thugs, or Tupac in a Business suit.

:dwillhuh:

The fukk are you talking about? Atlanta, Blackish, The Flash/Arrow, Queen Sugar, Luke Cage, and such. There are plenty of black men in current shows that aren't thugs or Tupac in a business suit. :gucci:

She's on Insecure. She's been in Hollywood since she was a child on some Disney or Nickelodeon show I think.

The way she's just running her fukking mouth like she has all the answers... As if she can even speak for Black men. :camby:

Thecoli has this idea that unless the black man is a strong leader it’s not a good character :yeshrug:
