Black people have a way of tuning in and identifying with characters they see on the big and little screen because the characters are played by black people. What's the ultimate effect when those characters aren't written by black people, which they aren't the majority of the time.
I never watch sitcoms. I may be able to catch a glimpse of a commercial of one while I'm watching sports on television. Damon Wayans has a new show out with his son Damon Wayans Jr called "Happy Endings." During the promo of the show Damon Wayans says "Let's just get jiggy with stuff," in a buffoonish manner. It just jumped off the screen as something that no black person would every write and he acted in a way that only a non black person would direct him. A non black person by the name of David Caspe is the creator of the show. Big shock huh? It is sickening that black people in Hollywood portray 100% the imagery that the non black creators, writers, producers, and directors tell them to portray.
Children view that sort of madness. That imagery is ingrained in their heads. It gets further fortified by the fact that the music industry pushes artists that portray even more disastrous imagery, sadly black people are the authors this time around...
