It sounds intriguing and considerably more like life as I know it than "Girls". Thanks for the tip. I wonder, however, when I read your claim that it "gets no network pickup precisely because it's not 'poor ghetto black girl' or 'Huxtable black girl'". Do you think that shows on either of those themes would get much network attention? I doubt they would.Jules Aiméhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262535377454858987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696956101824934089.post-54479587395075231092012-04-21T22:13:55.906-04:002012-04-21T22:13:55.906-04:00But they do only see two things, that is why they ...But they do only see two things, that is why they whine so much about "being yelled at for getting it wrong". They refuse to think of other options, or accept that there could be other options. It's irritating because it's so silly and dishonest. <br /><br />Meanwhile Awkward Black Girl, a very popular web series similar in some ways to 'Girls', gets no network pickup precisely because it's not 'poor ghetto black girl' or 'Huxtable black girl'.Marie Everingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714654939843724939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696956101824934089.post-24556482249676992092012-04-20T22:53:55.022-04:002012-04-20T22:53:55.022-04:00Thanks for commenting.

But then, displaying (or realizing there would logically be) multitudes of black experiences is beyond the scope of any whites, apparently.Marie Everingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714654939843724939noreply@blogger.com
