Black and White TV

While I do experience a great deal of anxiety concerning past and current programming, I think it should also be noted that I am very pleased to see African-Americans working and look forward to continued progress both in front of and behind the camera.

I realize the struggle inherent in simply bringing a project to air, and I am extremely proud of those who have persevered.

As stated in the article, some situation comedies featuring mostly white cast members suffer the same ailments as the programs being examined. What we require, as African-Americans, are more balanced portrayals of our lives and living situations.
