The purpose of this thread is to keep track of the number of Y/A projects that don’t have a black actress as a lead. Will be updating as we get more casting news. #Wherearetheblackgirls

I think celebrities who dislike social media due to its toxicity should start blogging. A way to connect with fans without having to see interactions/comments. Plus we are in a literacy crisis so we need to get people to read. I think Zendaya would be a great blogger.

Disney is not promoting this show like they should. Marsai Martin is an executive producer for Saturdays. It’s a coming of age comedy about a 14 year old girl who loves to skate with her friends. You can stream Saturdays on Disney+.

Apple TV+- can’t lift a finger to promote
HBO Max/Max- hates teen dramas
Hulu- why are you raising the price again?
Prime- I can’t put my finger on my issue with you.

When the writing for a black female character is strong. She’s not a token, she’s loved and she’s the best character in the series.

I do think young actors are getting cheated out of certain experiences such as multi cam comedies and teen soap opera shows. As ridiculous as Riverdale was, what Charles Melton said about the show being his Juilliard really stuck with me.

The “she fell first but he fell harder” trope is so delicious. Something about the woman moving on and the guy screaming and throwing up because she’s paying him no mind always gives me a buzz.

There’s a reason why All American has 7 seasons. There’s a reason why Bel-Air is one of Peacock’s best performing shows. There’s a reason why Forever is performing well and why Swagger is getting a resurgence. Yet, executives will still ignore the obvious.

Romcoms need new faces. It needs actors of different colors and not just pairing an actor of color with a white person. It needs to feature different sexualities. It needs to feature different body types. The rom com genre isn’t reaching its full potential.

Doesn’t matter if the black female character has the most chemistry with the male lead. It doesn’t matter if their love story was planned from the beginning/canon. #They will always find some random white character to ship instead even if doesn’t make sense.

I believe people tend to reduce the significance of what Kenny did because they see Jana has moved on. What he did can really mess with a person, especially with how they navigate new relationships. I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain on anyone not even my worst enemy.

Black kids have always been hungry to see themselves on screen. Jump In was the highest rated DCOM until HSM2. Let it Shine did better than some DCOMs that starred people who had their own shows on the network. So imagine how hungry black kids are today.

I remember when Tati revealed Jaz “raised hell” and told those producers that the black cast mates had to arrive several hours earlier in order to do their own hair. They got a black hairstylist later but they should have had one in the beginning.
Jaz having a black hairstylist on set… we really have come a long way from her and Tati having to do their own hair for CAOS 🥹

I’m not understanding this trend of replacing actors of color with white ones after a successful season 1. Why not give opportunities to more actors of color. They act like we don’t notice these things.

Black girls have the right to be sensitive about how we are portrayed. We have to fight to be the lead, have to fight against colorism, have to fight for decent storylines, etc. On top of that deal with an industry that disrespects black women. We are exhausted.
