Roland: Black TV Networks Harm Our Youth By Only Airing Entertainment, Reality, Award & Crime Shows

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

He's right. Don't get caught up with the messenger and forget the message. Whoever starts positive black owned programming for children will not only eat and eat well, but have a profound impact on a lot of youth. I'm on record saying that'll be Tariq's final form, but I never considered it from the implicationa Roland is speaking on

fukk all that, when he's roasting he can be hilarious but this puppet shyt is just tired and weird His final form will be a Jim Henson/Sesame Street type of programfor kids. Wait on it.

Anybody seriously entertained by these puppets it just....


Mark my words, Tariq's final form WILL be that of a Jim Henson type with Afrocentric Sesame Street programming. Gon have you muhfukkas more excited than your damn kids like


"fukk out the way!! Tariq is on "

"Shut uuuuuuupppp!!! I can't hear "

You hear that Tariq? I know you be reading. Put them corny ass puppets to good use before someone else catches on.


IT'S TIIIIIIIIMMME!!

he buys a lot of views thats why he's mad. nobody watches his show like that except it's something serious going on.

Proof?

He has alot of subscribers, no reason to think he's buying views

boule bird...

 

[Originalman]

But he worked for TV One
Propped up Amber Philips(her rhetoric alone)on his own show..
Dude really outchea trying to get the bag anyway he can

He actually called out TVOne when working there about the reality tv shows.

As far as Amber and the rest IMO that was more so Tvone call because the folks and the issues he talks about now aren't as mainstream as they were on Tvone.

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

media conditioning humans? wow
...try not having reality TV shows, gossip shows and crime shows. Will people celebrate or complain talmbowt we need variety
in other words, don't make it seem like the same reasoning used to cape for degenerate rap music won't be used for these shows

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Whenever BET ran news shows (Ed Gordon, Jacquie Reid, TJ Holmes, Tavis Smiley) their ratings
were in the toilet.

When TV One ran news in the morning (Roland Martin) his ratings were in the toilet.

Meanwhile, the VH1 Love and Hip Hop franchise shows are among the highest-rated programming
on all of cable tv.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

He's right though if bet and other networks cut back a little and started showing more aspects of the black community that doesn't involve music, sports or reality dating it would help. I'm not saying you gotta CSPAN but switch it up a little.

Maybe I'm just getting older, but its noticeable to me that you can't have as much stimulating conversation with some folks on a variety of subjects because of their entertainment bubble. I blame that on not just Black TV networks, but on content producers and the entertainers that participate. Roland talked about this affecting the youth, but try having a conversation about politics, history, or nature, with a lot of Black women and see how you'll be doing all the talking. If the conversation revolves around Love and Hip Hop or R Kelly though........

Not just Black women though. Use this board for example. Even in threads discussing serious topics...count how many posts are made before grown men start using slurs, insults and smilies. I've counted, and the average number is 7. Seven posts before the childishness creeps into the convo.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

I can see how people may, feel some type of way, about Roland. No one can dispute that what he is saying is the truth though.

He's 100% right. Look at all the L&HH shows, BBall wives even though only like 3 of those broads have been married. Black television is poison.

 

[Tom Foolery]

We have more Celebrity Gossip outlets than News outlets.

shyt, most of them aint even Celebrities.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

He ain’t told one lie. That’s why I do get mad when BET go out and bring in whatever black CNN or msnbc contributors and rappers they can find to have ONE town-hall when some shyt happens then get right back to the bullshyt when it goes off. They can run news but they don’t want to because they’re worried about ratings smh. One of those networks should easily be able to run a news program

 

[valet]

Sure but ratings wise it’s obviously not a need of the viewing public. Your best bet is edutainment like the Breakfast Club does. 2ndly his mistake with his show was he was way too Trump focused. Borderline obsessed with Trump lies. Instead of focusing on black issues mainly.

 

[hashmander]

i think they're giving the people what they want.

 

[Dorian Breh]

Yea you are a cac or a c00n agent

You’re a well known fakkit around these parts

Hope your mama gets titty cancer

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Proof?

He has alot of subscribers, no reason to think he's buying views

His live streams average a few hundred viewers if that. Tariq and yvette dwarf him.

He needs to pre-record them.
