Yes and as a white person I’m also sick of the “blacksplaining era” that’s defined Blackish and now Mixedish. The only good thing about those shows are the actors playing the youngest daughters and they need better outlets to showcase their talent.

I’ve been thinking the same thing about Blackish and Mixedish of late. I stopped watching Grownish when they made Zoey a selfish, irresponsible person and I’m about two steps away from removing the other two shows from my season pass if they get renewed. Kenya’s shows are very surface-level and as a white person I…

Yeah, all of those excuses are very flimsy. But I suppose if that’s the way you want to believe it, you won’t care and you’ll just go lalalallaahe’sblacknoonecancriticizehim. To me, that’s a different kind of racism - to not allow people to learn and be critiqued by locking their horrible behaviors under the category…

Maybe it’s the expression of HIS blackness and the community that he comes out of. Whether or not we agree with his views or think that he should be putting them out in movies (personally, I don’t), he’s certainly made it pretty clear who HE is and where he’s coming from.

They make me cringe. Lots of second hand embarrassment there.

I thought that when I first saw the scene, thinking, I know Tyler Perry isn’t gonna serve as an expert on quality black cinema, but Tyler addressed it himself by saying he didn’t give a fuck about what white folks and white critics want. IMO, it’s an exercise in unapologetic blackness.

I really liked Blackish at first, but slowly I grew uncomfortable with some of the storylines and episodes (I remember there was an ‘only black people believe in God’ episode.) The show is sometimes heavy handed I wondered who the audience was supposed to be - I figured, not people of colour.

That’s what I was getting from the trailer so thanks for confirming.

“Barris depicts himself as a man who essentially hates his family. He is at once striving for their recognition and approval and also resentful that he cares to have it.”

Maybe he’s not making this for white audiences, maybe he’s making it for money? damn let a brother be successful and can it with the uncle tom shit

Yikes, this was tough medicine. Very fair, very tough.

This show has as much nuance as people who think black people are all rappers with sagging pants. 

You don’t seem to have the attitude toward a LEGO set that one would expect from someone writing for Kotaku.  

I laughed a horrified, velvety-dark laugh when I saw this article originally.

What evidence do you have of that? Provide a link to a reputable source showing the connection that you’re claiming.

Replace “republicans” with “politicians”. We the sheeple of America get the leaders we deserve. People aren’t shooting people because guns are suddenly more available. It’s because hate is stoked on every side. Being a peacemaker is seen as weak and until we glorify peacemaking and collaboration over divisive thinking…

You thank a person for watching a movie so you don’t have to, but have a pre-existing problem with the man and his movies, so why would you watch in the first place?

This wasn’t even a review, it was a attempted re-hash of something that was revealed months ago. “Oh noes an actress I like didn’t get enough lines the move should be rewritten to accomodate that “big name”,or some bullshit like that.

Be careful, his fan boys will come out swing at you in a minute. I also enjoyed some of his work but that report made me so sick to my stomach. I can’t watch any of his movies anymore. He seems like a terrible human being.

I used to really like his films also. I bought the 20th anniversary box set of all of his movies on Blu-ray.  But something clicked in the theater while watching Hateful Eight that I felt like I had enough of his whole thing.
