Troy what that post fails to do is acknowledge the fact that Black people do all of that stuff!!!!!! It's not like Fox is wrong. When I walk out of the house each day I see obese Black women, more than I see healthy Black women. Black men on the downlow is killing off young Black men by suicide and by keeping their behaviors and choices in the closet because of the horrible state of treatment by Black churches. I can't tell you how often I see Black women staring each other down, or the fact that most Black boys grow up without dads and are effeminate without even knowing. (Hell I had to be called out by my boys in the Navy for getting in my car by sitting down and then putting both feet in. I didn't even realize I did this and that it's the way my mom got in the car because she was wearing a dress! I just copied it by default). Educated Black men do date White women. Of the guys I went to college with in my crew, two of them are married to white women and one is not married and I'm the only one who has a Black wife. In other words, this dude is emotional. The show encompasses the Black experience, but it's really the same experience that we all have: White or Black. It's just that Blacks simply aren't allowed to act in these shows. People would rather Black actors sit at home. I mean honestly this dude making this statement has on his News page "beyonce bares baby bump" and hasn't updated his website in years it seems. This dude may just be a hater who works in the industry that was shunned from the show.

Are you 2 talking about the same Dexter???? LOL Troy, I think you can still catch reruns of "Leave it to Beaver" and Mayberry RFD to satisfy your wholesomeness "Jones". Over-dosing on bloody violence can be avoided by not watching the shows that are saturated with this gore. As for me, I don't have much of an appetite for saccharin programs oozing with pap. I like what's edgy and bizarre although I don't dig most reality shows, especially the ones featuring a bunch of bickering ditzy housewives. I like some of the sit-coms that are brilliantly written like "The BIg Bang Theory", too. Laughter is good medicine. I am also a fan of all the true crime shows like Dateline and 48 hours and the ID cable channel series. America, itself, has strayed from its puritanical values. It likes to think of itself as a civilized god-fearing country full of great integrity. Not. This was demonstrated when certain lawmakers tried to shame the CIA for brutally torturing political prisoners. Most Amercans responded with a silent approval of guys like Dick Cheney showing no mercy to our perceived enemies. The current box office blockbuster "American Sniper" portraying the callous Navy Seal who was proud of having picked off hundreds of suspicious Iraqi and Afghanistan civilians during his tour of duty has sparked a controversy with the few who think this guy is really a psychopathic coward, being shouted down by those who think he should be honored for efficiently doing what he was trained to do. Everybody in between is apathetic. At all levels of our society, the "nice guys finish last" mentality prevails. How many sports fans are outraged over the accusations that the Seattle Seahawks may have deflated footballs to give themselves an advantage in the super bowl playoffs? This news elicits little more than cynical chuckles from the vast majority of fans. Internationally, Americans are not the good guys and at home average citizens are prone to do anything they think they can get away with. It's a sign of the times. The Christian pope may have become a super star and is refereeing a fight between Allah and Abraham but Satan is the real winner. Lord have mercy.
