I'll never understand Black folk who complain about white supremacy and white people but watch white TV and movies

[Unknown Poster]

I don't get it at all.
thank to youtube, I can now watch all black entertainment all the time on my TV. I even pay extra so I don't have to see them on my Tv with commercials...
My apartment is literally the LAST place I want to see white people...especially considering I live in white Denver and they're everywhere. It's been a year.
This must be how white people feel when they see people who look like them on TV all the time.

I don't want white people on my TV, and I don't care how racist it sounds.

when I go to my family's place in Pittsburgh, they watching these white people on TV and I don't get it.
It feels like the sunken place.

Imagine complaining about white folks all day then clamoring to watch them on your TV...getting involved in watching stories featuring people that 1. DON'T look like you and 2. HATE YOU.

Isn't there a funny meme about this type of argument? Hol, up let me see if i can find it.

Right I started Boycotting Friends when I read a piece by Stuart Hall that pointed out in all their years of friendship it took them until the final series to cast in any form of significant relationship with a non white.

for some people entertainment is just entertainment

Unfortunately a good chunk of Black entertainment is either too on the nose or bottom of the barrel

Plus like another poster said, entertainment is just entertainment, what are you doing to stop white supremacy?

Honestly most black people don't read about black history if they did we would have more black "supremacist"

If you go around the average black person and tell him what op is talking they will just take u as a joke or worse.... They will call u racist lol

i think we need to be a little careful here & always acknowledge the nuances homie. for instance, most of us here love the iconic black show good times but it was the white man normal lear who was the controlling hand behind that show, all black cast or not. same with the jeffersons which is yet another norman lear show we all love. more recently, the early 2000's all black show girlfriends was given to us by the white dude kelsey grammer from cheers & frazier

we were born into an unavoidable global system of white supremacy that controls all 10 areas of human activity and interaction: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex, war, and health. so naturally once you delve into area #3 you are already seeing white supremacy's agenda to varying degrees

as a pro black person who discusses and yes also complains about white supremacy i can also enjoy seinfeld, hall & oates, & watching luka doncic play for a white owned league while still wanting to replace the system of white supremacy with a system of justice. now sure, if you gotta black person who is obsessed with white image driven entertainment over black image driven entertainment obviously you give that a curious eye n/h. but that's an extreme situation that doesn't have anything to do with simply liking it's always sunny in philadelphia and cracking up at the d.e.n.n.i.s. system

Of all the things we should be rejecting from the European. We wanna talk like big shots for rejecting Stranger Things?

Damn my mom used to say this all the time to my pops. "The white man's tv" It would annoyed the shyt out of him.

Some of yall try way to hard to be militant

 

[PortCityProphet]

Are yall weirdos really like this off this board or is it all an act?

 

[Peachstate]

I like being entertained. If a white show happens to activate the pleasure center in my brain, so be it.

 

[Carlton Banks]

I thought of making a thread like this before... Decided not to lol.

Btw a lot of these "black entertainment" forms are white owned. So...

 

[Wubzy]

What does this even mean? Imagine being too militant to watch the Simpsons or something
