2015 Fall Television Drama & Its Dig at the Black Traditional Values
It’s with great concern for the black community that I write this, and I am simply reporting on what anybody can clearly observe in this fall’s television shows. In addition, I am one of the least to cry racism; it’s not what I am doing here at all. But it is distortion and extreme bias against our traditional values that have carried us thus far. I also know that in reality, of which a different one has been painted for us, we are not our skin color, but are actually our ethnicity. What’s in our blood and in our spirits actually defines who we are and where we came from. For example, most people in Africa are varying shades of “black,” but they are not of the same (immediate) tribes/people-groups. Also for example, in the Bible, nations are never described by their skin color (there was no need to; side note, the region is a big hint to their color), only their characteristics, culture, and spiritual practices are. Now, this issue I’m writing on does have to do a bit with skin color since blacks have been put at the forefront of it, but it has much more to do with culture, heritage, and especially traditions. Therefore, you will see me mention “black man,” “black woman,” “white people,” and “Europeans” (encompassing all who would be deemed “white,” including most importantly Jews who own all industries) simply as identifiers instead of just “man” or “woman,” etc., not to be demeaning or pridefully esteem blackness above any other race. I do have high respect for what blacks have always stood for in general, so if there is harsh speech against the destruction of these values, I do not apologize. One reason we are falling rapidly as a people is because we have disintegrating values, partly due to infiltration of impairing values that are not—or at least have not been—our own.
We could also discuss the other issues in these shows, such as violence, drugs, etc, but that is not the main point of this post. So, to anyone who disagrees with this blog and uses that as an argument, know that it is of no effect. In fact, I don’t care if anyone disagrees—that’s a part of life, as we’re all individuals. We are, or at least should be, free to express our differing opinions without children in adult bodies being all in their feelings and being offended. If you think that any of this is remotely fine, then you have a serious problem. The first thing to do is admit it. Furthermore, I actually typically like watching music competitions and food and home shows. But guess what? I can’t even watch those these days either without, for example, a food contestant or construction metal worker being applauded for being a drag queen.
Not many have discussed this matter of TV’s war on the black family, particularly as it pertains to 2015′s fall TV dramas. I’ve recently come across this article http://www.africanglobe.net/headlines/stopping-emasculation-african-american-men/ at African Globe about the emasculation of African American men on television. There are delusional black people in the comments. Thankfully, one man in the comments expresses how disturbed he was at reading a lot of them; there are a handful of people among us that gives me hope. You see, pictures and examples were included—examples that can easily be researched and verified. But it didn’t matter to these people. There was also an article shared on social media earlier this year about the increasing mixed-race couples on television the past few years in comparison to black couples– a topic also relevant to this post. My only issue with the previous is that it is being used as a tool to further an anti-black agenda, and one that specifically targets black women. Further, the people who fund this propaganda do not even push interracial dating & marriage in their community; in fact, if someone marries outside of their faith, it is imperative that the other individual convert or the marriage will not be allowed to take place.
I don’t know what your traditions are, but as a black American, I do not separate myself from the rest of my community; when the image of black men and women are being denigrated, I hurt for them. It has made my heart heavy as what I’ve observed isn’t just something that is simply being perpetrated against blacks, but blacks are willing participants in their destruction. I hold the black actors/actresses who take on these roles responsible, because they do not have to– and if they sit and think about what they’re doing, they shouldn’t want to. Granted, some black actors/actresses may not be fully aware of what is going on. It would just be nice not to look at all of this decades later wishing we’d noticed it all, behind the smoke and mirrors, and after we’re completely ruined for good.
I’ve sat on these observations for a while, but after a series of ‘are you kidding me’s,’ I couldn’t any longer as show after show kept portraying black men as gays and black women as distraught and reviled (unless they’re someone’s mistress.) It amped up in this new fall season more than before. I will begin by giving an outline (in note-like form) of what I’ve seen in season openers (episodes 1-3) for a few dramas, mysteries, and action shows that I’ve regularly watched (minus one, which I will explain why I haven’t). Contains spoilers.
1) Chicago PD
Opens its season with gay message:
-Show opens with a black guy’s girlfriend– she is black– who’s been cheated on and is so distraught that she is about to jump to her death. (We don’t know the full situation just yet; she is rescued).
-The cheater is also a drug dealer and violent thug. Rough & tough character. He gets caught in a bust lying in bed and a partner we’d assume should be another woman (however yet disgusting) is actually another black guy who comes out of the bathroom half naked.
-The writers make the half-naked guy of sound mind (in comparison to the girlfriend).
-Drug dealer gets questioned and during questioning is told by one of the cops ‘he didn’t care if he decided to cheat on the girl with another guy.’
-Drug dealer makes a deal where he and his gay partner get off the charges (or at least decrease them) by coming clean, aka coming out, in salvific form
-Even though he helps the cops like a “hero,” he gets shot by his own brother (who is at the head of the operation).
-His ex-girlfriend is still so distraught and out of the loop that she can’t mourn his death, and isn’t told of it for us viewers to know; however, the black gay guy is shown bawling after he learns of the news (on screen for us to see).
-The gay theme was completely unnecessary to the plot. Anything else could’ve been made the deciding factor for the drug dealer to provide the cops with intel.
2) Marvel’s Agents of Shield
Opens its new season with gay overtones and message:
-The entire episode included overtones about ‘being who you are,’ ‘the laws of nature changing to accommodate the “alien” uprising,’ ‘that life is just beginning and just getting better,’ that ‘the “powers” are a “gift”,’ and as if we hadn’t already gotten the overtones, the Hispanic (brown) guy who is the semi-focus of the episode ends the episode by saying, “it’s not the first secret I’ve kept; I felt much better when I came out, from within.”
-We first learn that he is gay because the character Bobbi (sp) nonchalantly threw in “…your ex-boyfriend is a health freak…” (A point also made because the Hispanic guy gained his superpowers by consuming too much fish oil.)
-Another overtone is the fact that Skye now goes by Daisy, which is her birth name, but also serves as an awakening, acknowledgment, and acceptance of her new self. I’m still calling her Skye.
-Mack, the black guy, is brought in with Skye to debrief the new inhuman (as they’re called). She tells the guy, who we now know as a gay guy that Mack is a teddy bear– a point they also interjected later in a comical way. Here, a black guy is being used to get a gay joke across to a brown guy.
3) Law & Order: SVU
Episode three opens up their season with yet another gay theme for this fall. An entire episode dedicated to that movement, and it uses children– black children– for the message.
-I purposely didn’t watch this episode, only the trailer tacked at the end of episode two.
-Young black boy was made the whipping post for the gay agenda. I heard thru the grapevine that he was tried as an adult.
-The scenario was that several black kids were hazing this young black boy and pushed him onto a white boy dressed as a girl. The black boy pushes the white boy off of him hard enough that he falls over a bridge and dies. Time is spent where the black boy is explaining he did what he did because he didn’t want his friends to think he was gay. It would be difficult not to think about black traditions and the “need” to change them while watching this episode.
4) How to Get Away with Murder
Long story I will make short:
-In its first season, I was beginning to watch the first episode and refused to finish after being disgusted and outdone. I only wanted to see an awesome mystery with an amazing actress– not her being “gone down on” by a black man (husband or not I can’t remember anyhow) and minutes later quickly turning the show off within seconds due to a gay sex scene. Yes, on primetime network television. I have not watched this ridiculous show since.
-I did hear about this season’s opener and even without having seen it was disgusted once more, saddened, and upset. Viola Davis is now involved in a lesbian relationship and there were two sex scenes.
-The irony is that when she was with the black man in season one, it was an animal-like encounter, but with the woman this current season (interesting note is that the person is white), she’s in not one but two scenes.
-Another take-away I will address here briefly is that there’s a desperate need for these shows to include sex scenes, period! As if the viewers are too stupid to know what’s coming next. It turns talented actors and actresses into porn stars and is insulting and degrading to both the viewers and on-screen participants. They and their spouses should be offended to say the least; it takes a seared conscious and hardened heart not to be. In addition, actors are not pretenders; it is impossible for a person to separate themselves from the roles they take on. You must become the character you portray in order to be effective! Putting myself in an actor’s shoes, I know that this is what I’d have to do. Johnny Depp, one of my favorite actors, has mentioned this very thing in describing how he becomes the characters he amazingly portrays:
With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it’s just not acting. It’s lying.
5) Arrow
Opened its new season with gay agenda in episode two:
-Feminine-acting black man we later learn is indeed gay plays second fiddle to white Jewish female, Felicity Smoak. I realize that he is now more than likely a regular, especially since in episode three, Felicity told him her secret. He acts/speaks like a white female. Again, I remind you that this can all easily be observed, and this is my clear observation.
-We learn he is gay while he’s being fired (noting that Felicity was having to do this against her will). His character throws in this line: “…now, my husband and I could take the trip we’ve always wanted to…” No, not a wife, but a husband. This line was truly pointless, as well as him being gay.
-Technically, he was being fake-fired. It was just a very clever way for the writers and producers to interject the above pointless line.
-In episode three—and this is in relation to my first Arrow observation—it is written in where Felicity shows the guts to use a heavy machine gun (of which she’s never used a gun) against a criminal inhuman; however, the black gay guy runs around the secret lab weak, defenseless, and in Felicity’s own noted words, hysterical. Question: it would’ve appeared just as comical and dangerous for the black guy to use a big gun as it did Felicity, so why not have him stumble upon it and haphazardly shoot it? Unrealistic?
6) The Flash
Now, some of these are totally different issues that are from last season, but are yet relevant to this blog:
-Iris, young black woman on the show, gets asked to move in together by her then boyfriend, Eddie (white guy). As anyone should be, I’d be insulted by such a question; however, Iris is enamored by him asking—hair-blowing fan, sun rays, and all—as if she were actually receiving a marriage proposal.
-As most TV parents these days, her father, Joe, doesn’t do anything or care that his daughter is about to dishonorably move in with a man she isn’t married to, giving herself to him with no solid commitment.
- Joe plays second fiddle to who we discover is a gay police chief.
-We learn in this new season’s episode 3 that Iris’ mother (black woman) didn’t pass away years ago as Joe previously states. No… She was (written in as) a horrible mother hooked on drugs, refused help, nearly (accidentally) killed Iris, and ran away from her family while in rehab. She makes a couple of appearances so far, and need I say that Joe hates her and rightfully, as the script would dictate, treats her like scum as she begs to be in Iris’ life.
I will also add that another one of my favorite shows, or at least used to be, Once Upon A Time, announced that they are exploring gay characters this season. Interesting also because these sick writers also are aware that kids will watch these shows– shows that are based on children’s fairy tales! I might also add here that Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) is adding to the fall cast a black man who changed himself into a woman. This has not been done on any other Real Housewives franchise show aside from this one with a cast significantly comprising of black women. Gay presence overall is highest on RHOA. These are all shows and episodes that I have watched, or attempted to. I can only imagine what else is out there on shows I don’t watch.
Homosexuality is the liberal’s last, final moral blow to the black family as the rhetoric it entails conceptually obliterates the natural familial environment, replacing it with a wholly generic, unrealistic, unstable, and unhealthy system. It isn’t the only, but it is the final blow and the kicked cane out from under an already fragile and lost people. This movement has taken a flawed, confused people within the black community and provided them with European philosophies contrary to our African traditions and placed them under the guise of “liberalism,” “progressivism,” and “feminism.” Individuals, including blacks, under those banners consider themselves intellectuals of the highest and most superior form. The best way to destroy a people is by infiltration and willing participants. Let’s take the Black Lives Matter movement for example: it is financially backed by white liberals. Same thing with the NAACP, the Civil Rights Movement, and even the Black Panthers who partnered with the liberal SNCC. This is why the NAACP backs the LGBT agenda and why “Civil Rights” has been hijacked and disrespected for their cause without question. (Only a small group of blacks have spoken out about the gay affront to blacks’ fight for civil rights.) Just like the supremacist system they advocate for, they mock black traditional values and seek to destroy them. The blacks are fully aware that these views are contrary to their ancestors, but they do not care. In fact, I have even seen in posts and heard some say ‘black people need to progress and evolve.’ To where? How far? And at what expense? Popular voice is given to the loudest ones among blacks, but with the worst worldviews, sense of morality & goodwill, and common sense.
Writers and producers of such shows as I’ve listed do not expect viewers to point out things like what I have above. They underestimate us and believe that we are already hooked into their agendas. I also believe that they write certain things into scripts in such a manner that it is often difficult to criticize, like interracial dating & marriage, as well as the culture of homosexuality they’ve urged along. However, I urge you all to look across the board and at the bigger picture. It is difficult not to notice the prevalence of these in shows with regards to black actors and actresses.
The gay agenda is directly tied to European supremacy; follow the money because it is money helping to drive this movement. Follow the money to also see the names behind these shows and networks. It takes money and assumed power to put forth advertisements and shows with specific content. This is both common sense and provable. We all know that in this fallen world, homosexuality exists– big deal (so, to speak), okay…and? So, it begs the questions/concerns: 1) why media is taking such an oppressive, tyrannical role in going well out of their way to place gay characters in all shows, period and 2) why blacks have been used overwhelmingly as tools in the media to get these destructive messages out.
We’re supposed to believe that for blacks to embrace the many faces of supremacy is all a part of natural “human evolution” and that we’re more enlightened than previous generations. The very things we need as black people, and as human beings, we’re told they’re of no importance. We then look around and wonder why so many of our sisters are without husbands; why the black woman is so devalued; and why so many children are raised without their biological fathers. Generation after generation of children cry out for their fathers and crying out to know who they are.
But, we’re supposed to believe that money, power, prestige, secret knowledge, reserved knowledge (i.e. scholarship), etc. is what gives these superiority-complexed people justifiable reason to tell us what we should(n’t) do or how we should be as a people. They believe that a combination of these things gives them the right to use a type of force to push their agendas in our lives. I say to these evil people that both your deception and overt force gives you all away: that your plan for our health and benefit is destruction.
We’re supposed to believe that individuals whose worldviews breed evil aren’t using their money and power to carry out conspiratorial agendas.
We’re supposed to believe that these shows and networks that are given budgets for research and development are clueless as to what they’re putting in shows.
We’re supposed to believe that a writer, who makes sure that every word fits well in a sentence, and who makes sure that their content is completely accurate—like, not writing in that grass is blue when it’s actually green—hasn’t deliberately constructed representations of people.
We’re supposed to believe that when an actor cries, laughs, expresses anger, sadness, feelings of love, and more, that viewers essentially shouldn’t feel any of those right along with them.
We’re supposed to believe that when actors/actresses are engaged in intimate moments on screen for the world to see, that we’re not actually joining them in the privacy of their bedrooms.
These networks know exactly how they’re affecting the public and how much they influence viewers.
What this umbrella of supremacists do not want you all to realize is that behind the philosophies, speeches, and Hollywood-backed glamour lies very simple life fundamentals called right & wrong; good & bad; benevolence & evil; obedience & sin; virtue & dishonor; purity & defilement; decency & corruption... Considering these building blocks would mean they’d have to uphold them in all decisions made, never to alter or disregard their definitions, as well as their fruits. With these fundamentals as mirrors, it would mean that they’re held responsible if they fall in any of those categories. Moreover, it would take a moral public to help hold them accountable for their actions. Unfortunately, partly thanks to the goal of these supremacists, the public has generally become defiled and unfit for sound judgment. Fundamental values and morals, by the way, are why that the Christian church must be destroyed (words that have been used), which will also serve as a double attack on the black community because the black church has been a huge pillar for centuries. I have also heard two white guys firsthand after one of my seminary classes talking with each other where I could hear saying, ‘…the black church is a lot of the problem…’ as the performance of gay weddings came up in this worship class that day and I voiced my opinion in the discussion. If they want to ruin their own churches, then go right ahead; they already have. But, they have no right and no say in what goes on in our churches and community, whatsoever, especially when it is truly of no benefit to us. There is a takeover spirit among those in the perceived majority to impose their way of life on the black community as a whole.
I am fully aware of any and all arguments against what’s been said—all of the above is my general response to them. I am not against any other ethnicity; I am against the destruction of mine, the umbrella of black people. The same tired old arguments with newfound false concepts, such as “homophobia,” and the shear dismissal of what is plainly seen with our two eyes are not only nonsensical but are extremely disturbing outcomes of the hell-on-earth artificial reality that the supremacist powers that be have long taken their time to create. I know the scholarly jargon and pseudo-science created to instill fear in people not to speak out on these matters. I know that leftists, under their many names, are actually adherents of supremacist European agendas. Instead of physical plantations to put us on, they are committing religious, psychological, and sociological warfare. We are living in a time where darkness is considered light and light is considered dark, and there is every rhetoric and philosophy in the book to back the madness up. I recognize all of this for what it is—fear-mongering and tyranny. I also recognize what it is that would make a person fit words and sentences together to back any of this insanity—simply the wicked hearts of a fallen creation. While we are still living on somewhat of a free planet, I have a God-given right to say what I want to say. We all do. If you don’t believe this is true, then you’ve only proven what is evident—the existence and backing of tyranny. Healthy black relationships between males and females are nearly nonexistent in television and movies; I really don’t know of any today. When black relationships are featured in these shows, they’re either broken from the beginning or end up broken. This is magnified by the fact that there are fewer black actresses and actors with major TV roles. We notice a pattern here: Black men are more than often portrayed wooing women of other ethnicities and the black women are often depicted as angry, confused, happily single, or being abused at the black man’s hand. Think Meagan Good’s Law and Order: SVU role last season of being abused by her black football player husband, or Olivia’s speech from Scandal (no, I don’t watch that mess; only saw the clip) where she says, [paraphrased]
I don’t want normal and easy and simple…I’m not built for it…I want painful, difficult, devastating, life-changing, extraordinary love…
A statement she makes, by the way, as she’s turning down a second marriage proposal from a decent (at least seemed to be in that moment), handsome black man in favor of remaining the white president’s mistress. Again, I can give many examples of all of what I described. I was recently watching a Tiny House Nation episode where the host made it a point to note that the future tiny homeowner, a young black/Hispanic-looking woman, was a single mother by choice. Listen, I just want to see a cool home being built, not have mini psycho-social commentary. My only fear is that we’ve gone way too far beyond repair.
Solutions: Individually and as a Group
1) It all begins by first knowing what it is that makes us African. (The irony is even that term, “African,” is a misnomer due to European colonization.) A great majority of us do not know and thus do not regard any sort of cultural tradition. What we’ve even developed here in America has been largely disregarded. Also, colonization of the African continent has threatened, and in some areas succeeded, in watering down traditional values and importance of spirituality and the reality of God. Please know that it isn’t due to ignorance or gullibility that our ancestors developed such strong Christian roots in America. African people were always a spiritual, God-fearing people who believed wholeheartedly in the supernatural and experienced the supernatural. There was never a question to any of this. Africans of various religious backgrounds have always believed that the supernatural is simply an extension of the natural order, and that God is the Creator of it all. The black religious experience seeks harmony with, not dominance over, nature and takes the supernatural and afterlife seriously. It is for these reasons that homosexuality is opposed and why I, for one, speak against such images in the media that continue to lead us astray.
2) Self-sufficiency is a necessity. The major “black” media outlets today are European-funded and distributed companies or are owned by blacks who have adopted destructive leftist views. Sources such as Jet (now defunct) changed their black marriage announcement section to “black love” and included gay couples in it. Its sister mag, Ebony, has only praise for Obama when he’s included in its pages, despite the fact that our state has gotten worse, particularly in his single-minded plight for pro-gay legislation. I remember when BET was sold to Viacom and even as a kid thinking that it was unwise. How could a European-owned company best represent us? What could it offer us? The very next day, late night programming included those weird, glossy 1-900 girl chat commercials. A virus fights against the body. It weakens the immune system. A community with sound individuals at the head would not promote things that would mean our downfall. We need to circulate more resources among ourselves and behave as a community. Produce content for ourselves—not relying on these major networks to do so—that promotes healthy black male-black female relationships and family-building.
Take note of this passage from Deut 17:14-20 (KJV):
14 When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
These are the words of the Lord to the Hebrews about who should reign over them, who shouldn’t, and what the king(s) chosen by God should and shouldn’t do. There are two key points from this passage I’d like to briefly highlight. First, a stranger, that is, a non-Hebrew-born person couldn’t sit in a place of authority over them because it would breed confusion for the head to be of another culture. It is important to note that customary law among Africans is to choose Elders, following the hereditary line of succession (or people from the same tribe/clan), for corporate guidance and wise counsel. (Europeans who colonized Africa had no regard for tribal boundaries or laws.) Second, a non-Hebrew-born king would contaminate/threaten the faith and purity of the people (due to the influence of pagan religion), and in verses 16 and 17, examples are given of what would contaminate the people if the Hebrew-born king were to lead Israel astray. In verse 16 in particular, the king is essentially warned not to do business with Egypt because it would bring the people back into the bondage they were delivered from. All of the kings of Israel, beginning with David and epitomized by his son Solomon, broke this covenant. Solomon, also the writer of Ecclesiastes, wrote of the wealth and women he amassed as nothing but folly and vanity. Meaningless. Also, we see repeatedly in biblical scripture what happened to the Israelites due to their disobedience. There are stark parallels between this passage and its significance today with what I’ve already described. All in all, it is an illustration of human unwillingness to obey God’s ideal standards.
3) Do not financially support harmful shows/networks with your cable views. That is how they make their money—by us watching and tweeting “Cookie” to popularity.
4) Demonstrate self-respect. Alongside this, demonstrate strong will not to follow behind shows simply because they’re popular. These companies are providing us with content they think we want to see. If they continue to feed us garbage, then it says a lot about how they view us. They know that many will continue to tune in to these shows to be entertained, despite the fact that television isn’t just for our entertainment. Television provides us with (mis)information at a time when our guards are down. Entertainment is only the first layer. By the end of any show, even comedies, we’re left with messages.
5) Guard you hearts and minds. Art is only art to a certain extent; there is indeed a point where it becomes perverse and profane. It is extremely unfortunate that the average show these days throw in things that really shouldn’t be there.
