Delilah

Why is it that shows (e.g. Opra's) that shout aloud about equal representation produce shows that are far from it? The cast is 95% black and what white people there are, are obviously in need of being told how to be and/or privileged in power and wealth to be taken down.

It is filled with confused tropes which supposedly show how it is and what strong black people look and feel like in a realistic manner - whilst breezing over black people being constrained by other black people living to the stereotypes. Yeah. OK. There I was thinking that stereotyping is bad but apparently if it's aimed at the privileged and all of those with presumed power (white people) to spotlight past your own community's it's fine.

A definite do as I assume and not like I do.

This show is entertaining. Opposing lawyers sharing info in a case they are on opposing sides is hard to believe. However, the characters are strong and you have suspend belief in most shows anyway.

I really enjoy this show! I can't believe people are on here complaining that 95% of the cast on this show is Black. So what! 95% of the people on the vast majority of other networks are white. Do you complain about that? Of course not! Yes, this show does count as equal representation because there are so few shows with a majority Black cast. And even fewer where the Black people aren't portrayed as lower class, broke, and always struggling, or loud and obnoxious for no reason (ie, most Tyler Perry shows). I was never a fan of Oprah's talk show, but I applaud her for finally producing shows that portray educated, gainfully employed, cultured, middle to upper middle class Black Americans. We do exist, and it's nice to see people who look and live like us being represented. I also like that the show does not shy away from showing some of the nonsense we have to put up with when being "the only" at certain higher levels in the workplace. I could do without all the god/religion references, but I can understand why that's in there. Lastly, if you don't want to see a show with mostly Black people, why are you even watching OWN original programming? Go watch one of the countless other networks where it's pretty much all white folks all the time, with the occasional minority sidekick.

Enjoying it. Delilah's life is full of happenings. Good story.

Anyone rating this with 10 stars (or even 2) is lying.
