And those shows have been criticized just as harshly and rightfully so, which is why I'm not understanding the offense taken over the justified denunciation of Girls.

In regards to Girls, I take it personally that a whitewashed and hipsterized version of my hometown is being depicted as the real Brooklyn - especially when said hipsters/yuppies have contributed to the gentification (or as I prefer to call it, the attempt to destroy its ethnic culture).

This, in a nutshell - especially the young Black actors and actresses.

1. Mumbles McGee has some damn nerve shitting on the show that actually provided her the platform to promote herself into an undeserved movie 'actress'.

How in the world is a late pop icon's daughter changing her name in any way comparable to the reasons behind a fallen Black rights advocate's decision to do so?

Exactly.

How so?

Hmm, I'm very vocal about my disdain for infidelity and have never and have zero intention of going so and I'd hardly consider myself a closeted infidel...

Considering that this some on this site have a tendency to blindly coddle every woman in spite of some being undeserving of it, I am not surprised at all.

A Republicon woman being hypocritical while pretending that the klan that she shills for is on a higher moral ground?

This sums up that plotline in a nutshell.

I agree with you. I guess a part of me always hopes that the one person that pulls you out of the darkness is the one that you end up with for an eternity.

I'm confused as to what him doing his job in acting in a role has to do with his intolerance for abusive assholes, that is unless we're to believe that all actors play themselves...?

Although I know nothing about either actor or their past projects, it warms my heart to hear Mr. Monaghan call another male out for being the woman-beating asshole that he is instead of trying to cover for his ass out of some misguided male loyalty.

I'd like to think that as disappointing as this divorce is for him, he's at a more peaceful place than he was during his tumultuous childhood/young adulthood.

I also appreciate that his primary focus is making sure that their son can handle the transition well.

It sucks to hear about Todd Bridges and his wife splitting up, as she seemed to be the calming force in his life that helped him overcome his post-Diff'rent Strokes troubles.

I'm sorry (not really), but I am not going to denigrate Nas (or Will Smith, for that matter) for being a concerned Black father that wants to protect his daughter, considering how society (in general) could give two shits about protecting Black girls.

But, we are cool.

By the time D'Angelo blew up as a solo artist, he'd be in the game as a songwriter for a minute so I hardly believe that he had no idea of the industry's trickery. I'm also sure that Angie provided him with enough insight from her own experiences in the industry to know how this business rolls when it comes to…
