Such a Lez

I don't claim ownership of any of the images posted on this page. I'm just a lez that likes to look at sexy butch bois, beautiful black bodies and occasionally ponder some real shit.

no one thinks T.I. nor Gabrielle are anti-social though. They're always giving their corny ass opinions.

So living single was basically a black version of Friends?

OR Friends was the white NBC rip-off of Living Single that premiered a year after Living Single’s first season.

IT LITERALLY CAME ON ON THE SAME NIGHT! Come on. I love Friends but…lbr.

[christel-thoughts]

White people still acting like Friends came first even though facts say otherwise…

[thundergrace]

And I didn’t even get into the similarities like the relationship dynamics. And oh even a couple of the characters on Friends have the same fucking job as characters on Living Single. Not common stuff either: Rachel was a buyer, Regine was a buyer. Joey was an aspiring actor, Synclaire was an aspiring actress.

I mean….

[christel-thoughts]

GIRL.

two related people the show is built around (Synclair & Khadijah, Monica & Ross)  

with childhood friends living nearby if not with them (Regine for Khadijah, Chandler for Ross or Rachel for Monica)

and a school friend that’s always there or moves in (Maxine for Khadijah, and again Chandler for Ross or Rachel for Monica)

the two dudes across the hall/in the building, one of which is hella sarcastic with a much more “grown man” profession and the other kinda goofy (Kyle and Overton, Chandler and Joey)

a character who used to be really fat as a child and adolescent… and became almost obsessed with thinness in adulthood (Kyle, Monica)

Phoebe = clearly Synclair

Joey = clearly Overton

Chandler = clearly Kyle

Rachel = clearly Regine

Monica = slightly modified Khadijah to make her more traditionally (read, eurocentrically) feminine, but still incredibly competitive with a nontraditional job where she’s her own boss in a field that caters to the tastes of others.

Ross = modified Maxine to make him less “alpha male”-ish (he’s supposed to be a more refined man in eurocentric and elitist terms), but still highly educated and competitive, fiercely loyal… and a protracted on again off again relationship with one of the other characters.

the only thing they didn’t do was put Synclair and Overton together on their show (even though everyone pushed for Phoebe and Joey to be together).

and the craziest thing is you’d think it took years for Living Single to establish all of these relationships so that Friends stans could say some of it just happened to co-develop, but nah. I have the entire first season of Living Single and all of this was established in that first season.

all. of. it.

So yeah girl… just like you said…  Friends, even though it is one of my favorite shows ever, really is just a blatant ripoff and whitewashing of Living Single.

Omg I never caught on to this

And friends is known all around the world but i heard of living single for the first time here

[christel-thoughts]

now think about what that means in terms of so much other popular media, inventions, movements, and theories even. Living Single was a pretty popular show, but nothing compared to its whitewashed ripoff. Friends actors, writers, and producers got Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG recognition for being a copy of show that didn’t get any of that (the only nominations for Living Single were from the Emmys for lighting… the NAACP tried to pick up the slack and say “we see you” with their Image Award nominations, but it’s demoralizing as hell to see someone basically steal your concept and get the top accolades for it while you’re treated as though you were copying them). Here we are 20 years after the beginning of the theft…. 10 years after the show ended, Friends is considered a classic and people are really asking if Living Single was the “Black version of Friends” as if Friends came first.

What else have you been led to believe was some genius move by a white person that was actually completely lifted from people of color who were actually doing pretty damn well with it but being ignored by whites because racism?

[thundergrace]

Apparently that Jay-Z video woke a lot of young black folks up who didn’t know about Living Single. If only it were on some streaming service like its white duplicate so people could catch up. Also, I wonder how that reunion/reboot is coming along.

[screengeniuz]

[stayingwoke]

I NEVER watched friends because I grew up with the original. Living Single was everything.

[theryanproject]

[fluffgawd]

Just to add, Kyle & Overton grew up together too..

[bellahadidsnosejob]

every person i know who hates beyonce is not a likable person. they are either insecure or pretentious as fuck. there has to be a correlation between not liking her and having a shitty personality.

[sheabutterbitch]

emphasis on pretentious as fuck, she’s someone who is aggressively liked or loved by so so many people and individuals who get off on separating themselves from mainstream society love to be vocal about disliking her… it’s really transparent and sad that there are folks who can’t stand seeing people having so much fun giving praise to a woman, a black woman nonetheless, who deserves all the love she gets

most of them don’t even really dislike her that much, if anything they’re indifferent but what they hate most is how much people love her

[suchalezbian]

I agree with this. post-beyonce hate, I definitely love myself more.

white standards of beauty are mad weird like i be seeing white women and be thinking she not all that like not ugly but not all that but like white ppl near me will be like “wow shes so gorg” but the girl will be hella average and its like….what an amazing privilege to be white bc you can look like a bread stick and still be considered amazingly gorgeous and i have to have my hair on fleek, face BEAT to the gawds, nicely dressed etc. etc. to get ppl to fawn over me like that

Obama did the exact same thing...used black ppl for votes and then spent 8 yrs ingratiating himself to the white power structure... and y'all still worship him.

A hair care brand said they “f-ed up” on this ad:

Critics say Shea Moisture alienated its core clientele: BLACK WOMEN.

Darker women with coily or kinky hair were notably absent from the video, though the campaign’s slogan was:

Some defended the ad’s attempt to diversify its base. Bit critics are boycotting the products and tweeting #NoMoreSheaMoisture.

Black customers have an estimated buying power of $1.7 trillion. 

It was very reckless on their part to not take us into account…

[sirblazebot]

1.7 trillion dollars in buying power🙃

[suchalezbian]

but what do y'all think that means? 1.7 trillion in buying power.
