LOL. Based on this IG comment reply, I'm sure Jeannie Mai is gonna be accused of fetishizing Young Jeezy & BM:

Jeannie really got Jeezy feeling himself in that IG video clip.














Anyways, looks like Young Jeezy & Jeannie Mai are frfr. Snowman took her home to meet the family over Thanksgiving:
https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jeezy-...anksgiving-to-meet-the-family-news.96918.html
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai have reportedly been dating for a year but they decided to share their love with the world this past summer. Since the floodgates opened we've been treated to sweet photos of the happy couple and Jeannie has, at times, gotten quite emotional when discussing her love for Jeezy.

While we assume Jeannie has already met some of Jeezy's family members, this Thanksgiving marked a public affair since the "Put On" rapper shared an image of his lovely family to Instagram wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving and Jeannie is seen right next to him smiling wide. "Family over everything.. Happy Thanksgiving, from ours to yours," he captioned the image.

Jeannie recently opened up about her relationship with Jeezy and how she appreciates the mutual understanding they have to make each other feel safe.

"I would say being responsible about making each other feel safe," she explained. "We both went through enough in our life to connect on the understanding that love should feel safe, honest, and pure. Immediately that was a magnetic attraction. We are very attracted to each other’s passions to serve. So because we have a mutual joy of having purpose, we’re going to find a way to do that together."

@darkcurry @glt1980 I thought Adele looked just about perfect when she attended Drake's birthday party back in late October. But maybe she went a little too far?

She's a little too covered in the photos to actually tell. Would have to see her in a bikini or tighter clothes. If we didn't know who she was and seen these pics for the first time how many people would actually be wondering that?

And those people in that TMZ room are dumb. Most skinny people's collar bone shows. Doesn't mean anything negative.

@darkcurry @The Dark King I just watched BGS IBMOR's latest video:


In the 1st half of the video he's giving his thoughts on the black male characters on the new NBC show "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" starring Jane Levy that premiered this week. Based on what BGS is saying I had go look up the cast info of the show because I watched a trailer for this show a month or 2 ago & don't remember seeing a straight BM character let alone a potential BM love interest for Jane Levy's character Zoey. Skylar Astin (The dude who played Anna Kendrick's main love interest in the "Pitch Perfect" movies) seemed to be the main love interest based on the trailer I saw.

That girl in the beginning of BGS's video. LOL! Heck of an opening.

The clip in the beginning is from the social media app TikTok. That seems to be the place where the young snowbunny chicks show their love for BM, which is why some people on black twitter likes to post video clips from TikTok as an example of "stop fEtIshIzing black men". TikTok is also where the young swirler chicks show their love for WM, but black Twitter don't have a problem with that.

NBC’s Streaming Service Peacock Will Have Free Version & Two Subscription Tiers


NBCUniversal unveiled its Peacock streaming services to investors Thursday, highlighted by a free-for-all version that stands out in an increasingly crowded online video market. It launches in the U.S. on July 15.

Peacock Free will consist of 7,500 hours of programming, including next-day access to current seasons of first-year NBC shows, complete seasons of classic series, Universal movies and curated content such as “SNL Vault” and “Family Movie Night.”

There will also be two paid tiers of Peacock called Peacock Premium.

There will be a $4.99-per-month version of Peacock Premium with advertisements and a $9.99-per-month option with no ads.

Both paid tiers will include live sports and early access to late night shows. Peacock Premium will include non-televised Premier League soccer games beginning in August and Ryder Cup matches in September. The inclusion of sports is another differentiator for Peacock from rivals such as Disney+, HBO Max and Netflix, which don’t include live games.

Peacock Premium will give NBC fans an early look at its Late Night lineup, a first for any broadcast network. Late Night fans with earlier bedtimes will be able to watch “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” at 8 p.m. ET each day instead of its normal TV time of 11:35 p.m. ET and “Late Night with Seth Meyers” at 9 p.m. ET instead of waiting until 12:35 a.m. ET.

Peacock will also feature live breaking news coverage and access to “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.” Full episodes of news magazine show “Dateline” will also be available for Peacock subscribers.

I wonder if I'm the only one here that fancy true stories? I get that reality can be boring, but I doubt it was boring back when men were men. That just means people minded their own business and showed respect unless they were willing to go toe to toe unlike the cesspool of fuckery that we have now. Technology and medicine are the only things better about the modern era.

Ooops spoke too soon. Less religious influence and control is something else we can appreciate about the modern era, but still.....
 
Here are two examples of TV diversity, one example of how to do it right and one example of how to do it wrong.

I've been catching up on my TV watching now that I don't work nights anymore, there is a series on CBS called All Rise about a newly appointed black female judge, the storylines are standard fare but what is unusual is the diverse casting, first of all, the show features 5 women and two men, two black characters, two Latinas, two whites, and one Asian, there is also a lesbian (she's gay but the show doesn't try to become The L Word) and an IR relationship between the black male bailiff and the Latina public defender. The cast of the show seems so natural that I didn't even notice the diversity until the third episode. The show doesn't go out of its way to point out the diversity it just exists. I also like that the black female lead isn't a drama-filled basketcase like so many other black women are portrayed as on TV.

911-lonestar-cast-slice.jpg


Now, on the other hand, we have a newer show that just premiered last week call 911:Lonestar. This show is the silliest and most ham-fisted attempt at diversity I've seen in a really long time. The show stars Rob Lowe as a 9/11 firefighter who relocates to Texas, when he gets there he begins to assemble the "woke-ist" crew in the world. First, there is his gay son (who is getting over his black boyfriend dumping him), then there is the sassy female Muslim who plays by her own rules, then we have the transgender black "man" who is trying to prove something, next we have the Latino immigrant who just wants to be given a chance, a gay Latino cop (who has explicit scenes the lead's son) and finally, we have the other leads a middle-aged white woman and a mental-case white man who has a black wife (The devil's IR). The ham-fisted diversity is bad enough but the show doesn't actually care because the leads are all white people.

It goes to show that diversity can be natural on tv when people don't try to hit the audience over the head with it.

LOL, that "9-1-1: Lone Star" spinoff show is a Ryan Murphy-produced show. So that should tell all you need to know why the show has heavy-handed diversity & wokeness.

Do any of y'all watch the original "9-1-1" show? Is that show as heavy-handed as this new spinoff?

Ryan Murphy is one of the worst. Can't cast a straight black male lead to save his life. If there's a black male in any of his fictional shows, he's gay. Period. Or being cheated on.

Obviously the 1st season of "American Crime Story" doesn't count because that was about the O.J. case, but "American Horror Story: Roanoke" (Season 6 of AHS) had Cuban Gooding Jr. as the male lead married to Sarah Paulson's character.
