Empire : Lack of white main character troubling

There is absolutely no excuse for a series like Empire to only use ethnic whites in minor and secondary roles.
OK this is purely a black business, and there are very story-driven reasons why thats the case
So for me, there is absolutely no excuse in a show like that why there arent more prominent characters of white persuasion

Seriously, I'm white and I think that argument is ridiculous. For years white shows have been doing the same thing, so why shouldn't a black show be doing it. Tit for tat. White people don't have to be dominant in everything. With the exception of Rhonda, there's no reason for a white character to be prominent in this show.

A white character doesn't make this show; the black characters do. And like black people can watch and enjoy a predominantly white show white people can do the same thing with a predominantly black show.

Thank you my white sister!

Sometimes you gotta put some people in check.

@ive: Amen! Your post should be starred!

Exactly

Some of you try too hard to complain on here lol It's really sad on these boardsDamn just enjoy the show or stop watching for your own sake

Thank you Afflentbates. Very well said. Enjoy the show or watch something else you enjoy. I try to do just that.

Yes, troubling indeed! Especially since there's such a lack of white men on television! Where are all the white males???

All insults will be interpreted as an admission that you cannot contribute to the discussion.

If the blackness of the show offends you, stop watching it. Watch one of the shows with predominately white casts. There are literally hundreds of those.

Literally 95% of television and movies is focused on white people, most specifically white straight males. I find it absolutely hilarious that during the 5% of the time blacks, Latinos, and Asians get some shine some white peoples heads explode. So self obsessed and with an overly sense of self importance. News flash: the world does not revolve around you.

LMFAO!!!!! Just shut up. Now you know how minorities and other marginalized groups feel.

I really hope you're a troll.

I have EXORCISED the demon

Get over yourself. Black peopleproducers, directors and actors have struggled to get where we are and quite frankly still struggling and you come here with some bullsh*t about "no excuse" for a strong white main character.

Get the hell outta here!

There is a thing called black owned businesses where you will seldom see any or very few white faces.

And, it doesn't make them racists either. Black people seem to not be able to have anything of their own before someone start talking some sh*t.

Girl, TELL IT! This isn't the first time someone came here with that bull and I find it hilarious. Minorities and LGBT groups are STILL fighting for recognition in dominantly white hollywoood so it's not they're having any problems being recognized or having tv shows. Sure, there are some minorities in white shows, but notice it's always kept to one or two minorities a show. This person wants to call empire 'racist' when they need to look at the history of TV and cinema where white people were even cast as minorities. This person better go read a book, if it's not too hard for them to do.

And cute kitty by the way

I have EXORCISED the demon

LMFAO! You are the cutest little bigot ever! I just wanna put you in a bubble and roll you around on the freeway into oncoming traffic

Also, I don't watch game of thrones. It's very overrated, generic and basic with the shock value, and really quite boring.

I have EXORCISED the demon

Bubble not required. Just roll his dumbass out and call it a day. A good day!

Oh shut up if you blacks can complain and whine and bitch about changing traditional white characters to black to suit your racist agenda i can bitch about putting white people on Empire! Tit for tat one of you nit wits said! So be happy with the color scheme of GAME OF THRONES or stfu!

No one cares about your rants. Don't like it, don't look at it. It's ridiculous for anyone to pull the race card over a TV show when there are so many more important things going on in society.

Oh, I guess you weren't expecting a backlash. So now you want to call us racist because we and other minorities point out just how ridiculous Hollywood can be for not representing people of color on film and television when we exist in the real world.

You are truly beyond ignorant with your comment concerning traditional white roles. There's nothing traditional about ignorance you moron!

Don't like all the black people on Empire? Change the damn channeldumbass!

Yes! How many old school 1950's or 60's western movies or TV shows have we seen where the Native-American Indians were played by white men and women wearing dark makeup and straight haired black wigs? Really? As if they couldn't find any Native-Americans in their own damn country to play those roles.

Thank you for complimenting my pussy. She is a cutie. :)

You're kidding RIGHT??? I LOVED friends!! But I NEVER complained about them not having ANY black friends. In NEW YORK CITY at that! I enjoyed the show so I watched it. Smh

For you.

Well, I'm white and I never noticed that there are not any whites. I LOVE this show.

Hey i do get what you're saying,but still this IS a good show ,whether black white whatever,it's still a good show that im VERY dedicated to and looking forward to watching every week,have not missed not one episode since day one,maybe right now the storylines just don't call for alot of "White actors" as you put it to be in right now,and like i was hinting at it should not make a difference on the racial makeup of the character's right now,still an awesome show,imo i don't think that make or break the show.

It doesn't matter to me. I don't need to see white characters to enjoy the show.

I think the OP is being sarcastic.
