Just like Tyler Perry before him, Kenya clearly has issues with black women that he keeps working out on film instead of in his therapist's office.

Sir, we’ve supported three separate iterations of your paper bag test black families. That shows we are accepting but at some point critiques will happen when the majority of black ppl are not represented on these “black shows”

lol

He has issues. And the Strong Black Lead twitter account is choosing to be obtuse in why people are criticizing his show and his casting. Yeah it's about his family, but he's done it before. And a dark skinned dad with a light skinned wife with mixed looking kids is not new.

It's so ridiculous that it really does deserve its own post.

I know it's 'write what you know', but how long until you start repeating yourself.

If someone wrote a family based on what my parents look like, I'd be written out. He talks about genetics when he obviously doesn't know shit about it.

Just admit you like light skinned black people. He probably gets nervous when us darkies are around.
