So now everyone is suppose to be upset because black folks didn't win shit at the Emmy Awards.
Well let me let you in on a secret.
WE DIDN'T DESERVE ANY FUCKING EMMYS THIS YEAR.
Don't get me wrong, I like Scandal (not love) and I like Kerry Washington.
But for every half decent Scandal you get bullshit like anything from Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry's shows are just shitty. I mean each and every one of them deserve the garbage pile. House of Payne=Garbage, For Better or For Worse=Garbage, Love Thy Neighbor=Garbage. Why the Mighty Oprah allowed him to put garbage on her OWN network is incredible.
Now, I am not just hating on Tyler Perry to just hate on him. I admire the brother and I am pleased that he gives back to the community. But with all his goodwill, that doesn't mean he gets a pass to give us low class entertainment.
Now back to the Emmys.
This year's nominations were poor pickings for blacks and we need to acknowledge that.
Years past, like when HBO's The Wire was on, that show should have walked away with Emmy Gold but its been off the air for years and it was not only snubbed but competed with arguably the best show on tv at time and history The Sopranos.
It's time to stop complaining and either put up or shut up. We have too many talented directors, writers, actors, and producers to constantly be putting out bullshit like The Haves and the Have Nots.
Until then, expect the Emmy Desert.
