Media...and Colored people
So this is pissing me off a bit. We have tons of great actors of color. There are enough of them that have the money to be movers and shakers in some places. So why is it that only Tyler Perry is the only person to bring a show about a black family to tv. Wait....I'm sorry he should not count cause he just reuse the same thing they have done for the past 20 years. Only thing that is different is that he is dressed up as some fat black lady.
I mean come on give me some thing good and new. Take Ugly Betty. For the most part the show is about fasion and a girl trying to make it in a world that says she is ugly and can not be there. It has a heavy Latin and Hispanic parts to the show. And has a Latin family as a backdrop. But where is this for say blacks or asian people. All I'm asking is it so wrong to show a family of color on a tv show that are not just same over worked dad, worried mom, smart older kid 1, warm- hearted kid 2 and the others. Or if you are going to do that. Then at least make them a bit more. Give them some thing really to deal with. I mean the writers are there. They all work on every other major show.
Sorry I just had to vent.
