Sharpton paid to keep quiet about lack of black TV programming: suit

NoDrama · Feb 25, 2015

Black TV programming only targets 12% of the population. Not enough revenue for a private business to succeed when there are other more well known competitors already in business.

TV programming that is black centric does not appeal to the other 88%, in fact it doesn't even appeal to all of the blacks. It tries too hard to be black instead of grey.

I don't watch much TV, but I will most certainly watch "House of Cards" on Netflix. I see a binge watch coming this Friday

You know it buddy, can't wait to see what Frank and wife do this time.

I didn't know that Francis' wife was played by Princess Buttercup until the second season. I love The Princess Bride movie, its a true classic.

This new Black show is doing quite well.
And it's on Fox.

‘Empire’ strikes back against whitewashed TV

“Empire” — Fox’s surprise hit about hip-hop king Lucious Lyon and his larger-than-life brood — lays these issues bare, with neither sentimentality nor apology.

Unlike the middle-class conformism of “Blackish” or the bougie elites in “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder,” the show’s rap-world royals reign rowdy from the ghetto to the boardroom with little regard for propriety.

But “Empire” is more than mere entertainment. It’s the first truly revolutionary series of the 21st century — the only high-profile TV show with no prominent white protagonists.

Anchored by a strong black woman — and created by a who’s who of African-American writers, directors, guest stars and musical producers — “Empire” is TV about blacks, by blacks and for blacks.

In turn, it’s found a steadily increasing audience. More than 13 million viewers tuned in last week, Nielsen reports, 32 percent over its Jan. 7 debut.

Not surprisingly, black viewers make up 61 percent of that audience.

It was made for blacks, but nearly 40% of the people watching aren't black. Sounds like success.

I bet you don't even realize what is wrong with that graph. You never answered my question in Public Schools.
Did you ever go back and finish high school?

First off, "what makes you think I didn't"? If you read your question real slow you would of noticed that you act like you know something you don't know. Try again.

I'm ashamed to say I have never seen "The Princess Bride". I see it comes very highly rated. I guess I will have to sit down with the kids with that one

It looks like your reading comprehension it lacking. Your lying is getting off track . Why don't you post up the RIU poll that was being talked about?

all of those quotes link back to the original threads where you rpedicted a landslide, then lied repeatedly claiming you didn't predict a landslide.

are all elderly gay racists as dumb as you are?

Thats your opinion. If you throw in the Gruber idiots there are a lot of idiots around I guess.

that's not opinion, that's scientific.

people like you who devour fox news are less informed than those who watch no news at all.

What makes you think I dropped out?

i don't need your permission, latent homosexual elderly racist.

i will continue to listen to NPR, as they have the most informative news out there, and hence the most informed audience.

you can feel free to keep watching lying liars like oreilly at fox news and be less informed than those who watch no news at all.

watching that liar oreilly will also help you with your own lying, since you are kind of known around here as the liar who lies and covers up his lies with more lies. romney landslide, eh?

good luck woth that.
