The stereotype that black men are attracted to big women is bullshit. There are black men who like all types of women: big, slender, curvy, etc. After all, I’m black and my wife is a red-head, but she’s slim……

This is messed up that black men is their last resort. I hate that
stereotype that black men are attracted to larger women. I’m a tiny
women that married a black guy.

I got around to seeing this show this weekend, and it was sooooooooooooo awful. I think that the writers were trying to poke fun at white people’s attitudes towards blacks in the soul food restaurant scene, but it really just ended up falling flat and seeming like they approved of those attitudes. But apart from all the racial stuff, what really got to me about this show was the complete humiliation and indignation of the main character. I mean, it’s hard to explain how difficult and painful it is to watch, but I think JC said it best when she compared the show’s premise to the fictional show in Spike Lee’s “Bamboozled” - except that it’s weight that’s the basis of the buffoonery, rather than blackness.

>Oh, did we mention that Curry plays an African-American executive with the power to shape network programming? Now that’s funny.

‘Cause if this were even close to true, the show wouldn’t make it on the air.
