Predominantly an all-black soap opera coming soon.


Yes, you heard right! Coming soon on CBS a predominantly black soap opera.
The advertisement stated that blacks need to be portrayed as professionals in their field not maids or cooks like in white soap operas? which is an untrue statement.

Basically, what they are Saying is we need to show that black people are better than whites. they want an all-black Soap fine but don't make up lies and say blacks are the oppressed when it's not true. [What do you expect from the FAKE news media].

The new soap will be aired on CBS and sponsored by the giant corporation Procter and Gamble. Instead of going forward with race relations we are going backward especially liberal Democrat run states like NY, California etc.

2 hundred years of fighting to become "ONE NATION" and the Democrats along with the radicle racist blacks are trying to destroy this Country from within.

So what's it like?? A modern day SANFORD & SON or what??

reply

Sanford and Son was a riot, this will just be more cringe.

reply

Sanford and Son were funny, but the best black comedy show on TV was "Martin". They made fun of everybody, Whites, Blacks Latinos that's what comedy is supposed to be.

But this New Soap will be portraying blacks as superior race and the few white actors will be their stooges. How do I know this is because the NAACP has partnered with CBS which is already a socialist antiwhite Anti Trump news organization. Wait and see.

reply

It’s funny you bring that up, in the 90's while White people were watching Seinfeld, Black people were watching Martin. I even remember this coming up during the O.J. Simpson trial when the jurors had to decide which TV shows they were allowed to watch — there was an actual divide between the White and Black jurors over it. In my house, we watched Fox, so I grew up on Martin and In Living Color, two of the most popular Black shows at the time. I suppose it’s ironic that I ended up becoming a White Nationalist.

reply

Theres nothing wrong with being a White nationalist. Why can't we be proud of our White European ancestry. But unfortunately, that's what America has become thanks to the Liberal Democrats who see everything by the color of your skin. So, we choose sides.

This is black pride month the TV is flooded about black inventions black doctors' black statesmen blk soldiers etc. WHY can't these liberal racist anti-American stations just say instead of Black pride we have AMERICAN pride?

Are we not one nation? It's ok to be proud of your race and ancestry but we all live in America and should be proud to be called Americans. Shouldn't we?

reply

That's what I do here — to advocate for White Nationalism and rehabilitate its image. It’s not about hate; it’s about love for one’s people, pride in their heritage, and recognition of their achievements.

reply

*Snores* Oh, sorry, what? An all black cast in a boring soap drama, you say?

Looks at the dozens that have been shown on TV in the past 50 years.

Oh yeah, like we've totally never seen that before. I give it the average lifetime of a black drama on GayBC (roughly 2 seasons) and will laugh when it gets canceled due to unusually heavy indifference by the black community.

reply

The OP has no problem with the predominantly white soap operas that have dominated TV for decades. What a hypocrite!!!

Anyway, "Beyond the Gates" is the first predominantly black soap opera on TV in 35 years since "Generations" featured two families, one black and the other white.

'Beyond the Gates" is about a very wealthy black family.

I just watched the trailer and laughed my head off. It's acting and storyline appear comparable to old-time soaps when they were trashy, sleazy, over-the-top, campy fun. This show reminds me of the melodramatic Spanish novelas which are a laugh a minute and the very funny "Passions" with Tarzan swinging on a vine to meet Jane sex fantasy scenes.

I'm not quite sure I know what you are talking about, but then again, I don't think you know what you are talking about? If you are referring to my post as being hypocritical then I ask you to go back and read it once more, maybe you will understand it. But I doubt it.

reply

I reread your racist OP and standby my comment.

reply

How do you take
" portrayed as professionals in their field not maids or cook"
and conclude they are saying " black people are better than whites." ?

You sound like some 18thC slave owner beating a slave yelling "You think you equal to us?"

reply

Here we have another liberal that speaks before he thinks.
Turn on American TV to CBS or the BET channel and watch the previews of the new soap then go back and read my post.

If you still don't understand then I suggest you watch other news outlets instead of Socialist anti-American TV like CNN or MSNBC, then maybe you will understand?
But I doubt it.

reply

I'm not going to bother watching previews of the soap i dont give a shit about , and then researching further on whatever far right twatter channel you follow , in order to help you make your inane incorrect point .

The question is the same as every time the "persecuted white male" topic appears, which is daily on this site.

"How do you equate letting black people onto the TV with :
'they are saying blacks are better than whites' " ?


*sometimes this manifests as
"They are taking over"
"we are being hunted"
"they hate white people"
etc etc

Current channels on the Pluto TV app, a popular free streaming service in the United States:

Black Cinema
Black Visionaries
BET Tyler Perry Drama
Ebony Drama
BET
BET Her
Black Throwbacks
BET Tyler Perry Comedy
Black Classics
XITE Gospel

Number of channels that specifically mention whites or are tailored to white audiences? Zero. "Oh, but many other channels feature whites in their programming!" So what? That's not the same as having entertainment that caters overtly to white audiences. Why do we accept this aspect of Jim Snow?

reply

See, this is exactly what I want. I have no problem with channels like BET, just like we used to have. I want Black people to have their own channels, movies, and shows. I just wish White people were given the same privilege — without diversity being forcibly shoehorned into everything.

reply

The only problem is they wouldn't be able to find enough commercials that don't feature the "wise black person shows hapless white person how to do simple task" motif. So, you'd still get a healthy dose of black supremacy.

reply

Yes, you are absolutely right, and I add this we the people of this Country should vote to give blacks their own state/s than put a wire fence or wall around the state and watch how they slowly deteriorate into another Haiti.

reply

One black soap triggers you. You have no problem with the 99% white soaps. Why?

reply

give blacks their own state/s than put a wire fence or wall

wow you and curiousMInd101 are like two peas in a pod!
You two should get a room , then form your own little pointy hat chapter

... assuming you're not the same person

reply

LOL or maybe we could put one of those invisible fences that they have for dogs. :-/
I think there was a movie about that.

reply

BET was bought by a white guy.

reply

It's co-founder was a black media magnate Robert L. Johnson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Johnson
It was then bought by Viacom.

reply

Paramount Global aka white guy(s) owns BET.

reply

You're self-unaware (not your fault) so I'll gladly explain it to you with an example:

Brilliant episode of "All in the Family" when bigot Archie Bunker was in the hospital sharing a room with a French guy. They didn't see each other because a curtain divided the room. They talk and become good friends. Later, Archie asks that the curtain is drawn so he can see his French friend. Archie is in complete shock because the French guy is black.
Archie: "You didn't tell me you was black!"
Pierre: "You didn't tell me you was white!"
Archie: "I didn't have to because I'm regular."

Archie's attitude about being regular is a common attitude among whites. White is considered the default, standard, generic and norm. That's why "flesh-colored" bandages had a white person's skintone.

Basically, terms like white newspaper, white channel, white author, white haircare product aren't used because it's already understood that they're white aka regular.

The OP is a perfect example of this mindset. Majority of soaps have been white soaps, but the OP ignores those (because they're regular) and criticizes the only black soap in 35 years.

Whenever something is not "regular" aka white, then whites react. A movie or TV show without whites starring are criticized since they're not "regular".

White people don't understand that white is a specific cultural group also. White TV shows, movies, books, school courses, etc cater specifically to whites. Whites have experiences, attitudes, beliefs, culture that are specifically white, but whites mistakingly believe everyone including non-whites share them. It's white myopia.

Again white is not mentioned because it's "regular", but the aforementioned are from a specific white cultural experience or viewpoint.

If I buy a newspaper owned by a white guy with 98% white journalists then it is a white newspaper, but it will never be called that. The white part is never mentioned.

You shouldn't expect everything to revolve around only white culture and viewpoint when we're a pluralistic society.

reply

Keelai complains about myopic views while at the same time listing examples of the culture from a half century ago. It's not the Norman Lear age, sweetie. Crayola renamed the "flesh" colored crayon decades ago! We now live in a world of black, black, blackety, black cultural supremacy. If you haven't noticed that, you really don't have much call to comment on it.

reply

Excellent reply!

reply

Flesh-colored = white-skin

The OP topic proves white myopia continues today.

reply

"Flesh-colored = white-skin"

From your lips to God's ears.

Was that a CB4 reference?

Try reading "The Communist Manifesto" for better examples than the one you gave.
Although you probably already read it a few hundred times by now.

reply

If you have something to say, then say it. I'm not going on a wild goose chase trying to guess.

Why are criticizing the only black soap in 35-years but you're fine with all the white ones?

reply

What white ones? Can you name a 2025 soap opera (or really just about any movie or television show) in which every major character is white?

reply

Every soap opera is white. There are only three remaining: The Young and the Restless; General Hospital; The Bold and the Beautiful.

Spanish soap operas are worse. They refuse to hire any black, Indigenous actors or mixed who make up the majority population.

reply

Ok I'll try to make this easy for all to understand. Ever hear of Nat Turner? He was a slave back in 1831who was made into a hero and martyr by the liberal press. Hanged in Virgina by White soldiers for killing his abusive white slave master.

But the real truth is good ole Nat heard voices from God telling him to kill white people, so he and his cohorts went on a killing spree killing all white men, Women and children they encountered they murdered at least 50 mostly children.

Ever hear about the Buffalo Soldiers of 1917. According to the anti-American press at the time members of an all-black unit clashed with racist white police and over a dozen blacks were killed.

But the real story and you can look it up. The Black soldiers thought the Texan townsfolk were coming to rid their town of the blk man, so the buffalos got together with their army rifles and started to pull over all Whites driving down the road and were shot to death. Innocent people Men Women and even children were Murdered. There was no Texas Mob.

So, What the F is your point? The new blk Soap will be nothing more than antiwhite propaganda showing blacks are good and whites are bad. Watch and see.

reply

"The Communist Manifesto" has zero to do with Turner or Buffalo Soldiers so why did you want me to read it?

reply

Turner = slave revolt. Slave-owners deserve to die.

Buffalo Soldiers of 1917 = Defense against Jim Crow, white supremacy, racist attacks, brutal racist assaults from white policemen.

"Almost from their arrival, the presence of black soldiers in strictly-segregated Houston raised tensions. Jim Crow laws were in place, and the soldiers were forced to contend with segregated accommodations, including drinking facilities at the construction site, and repeated racist taunts. Prior to the riot, the soldiers were involved in a number of "clashes" with members of the all-white Houston Police Department (HPD). In several of these incidents, the police assaulted the soldiers, leaving them with lasting injuries."

I never identify with any oppressors. Oppressed people have every right to fight and defend themselves. You identify with oppressors who are white because you're a racist.

"showing blacks are good and whites are bad."
Your racism is not helping.

reply

Archie is correct. He is "regular" — the default — because he knows he lives in a White country. Anyone who isn’t White isn’t truly an American in Archie’s eyes and he's right about that.

reply

The U.S. was never a "white country". Indigenous people were here first. Then Latinos, Asians and Blacks. Whites arrived last.

Anyway, this country is a pluralistic society.

we already have one, its called Empire
