They got the Black characters on "Orange is the new black" sounding like 1997 sitcom clowns

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Exactly. You go to any hood or any jail...and thats how nikkas talk.

mane gtfoh

I think season 1 was better , I think they tried to change the show too much for season 2 . hopefully season 3 would be better. Thats if they make a season 3.

 

[Box Cutta]

I'm a fan, but there is certainly TONS of racial content that is ultra-problematic.

As black people, we know that all content not created by us, for us (And even the shyt that is) is going to be problematic though....

I have no idea what prison women are supposed to sound like so accuracy is not a priority for me...

I am quiting season 2 though...I can't mess with it any more... too much focus on lesbian sex...

Season 1 was funny... I lived for Pennsakentucky .... I know too many white girls like that

 

[Colicat]

You arent paying attention.

The emphasis on lesbianism is throwing me off...

[Strapped]

why were the dominicans not riding with the blacks

I finished watching season 2 like 10 minutes ago.

Season 1 was better but for both seasons, you can REALLY tell the creator is only writing situations and characters she heard about or only saw on TV.

mane i watched some of season 2

andthe black broads on here are sounding like extras on "Family Matters"

I think the lingo is suppose to reflect the early 2000s (when the real Piper was actually in jail).

 

[Neil Tyson]

I think Lilyhammer is better.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

I think Lilyhammer is better.

season 1 is cool

but season 2


i stopped waching

is there a season 3?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

I think the lingo is suppose to reflect the early 2000s (when the real Piper was actually in jail).

but some of the flashback scenes go back to that time

so i thought the show was at the current period

You stick to your race.

Blacks are the most hated group of people, especially in prison

 

[Still Benefited]

wtf are you talkingabout


the point of the thread is

they have the black characters acting using slang from 1997 and shyt


noting to do with the storyline



you can tell some corny white guy wrote the dialogue



he prolly just watched Homeboys from Outerspace and assumed that was the way negros speak

Instead of just hiring some black actress from the hood they probably got some white washed black women and told them "Can you do it more ghetto"....just cuz they black don't mean they wont be akward as shyt tryna sound hood

The flashback go back to the early 1990s. All that drug stuff was 1992/3ish. She was indicted in 1997 or 98.
