I hope you stretched before all that reaching for this casual oversimplication and complete straw man response. :joy:

Yara is a beautiful girl. (Your obsession with her looks is odd, especially when NO ONE has mentioned that whatsoever). More importantly, though, she’s also extremely talented: as a speaker, thinker, advocate, representative for her generation, and general public figure. I can see her entering many fields with great success and ultimately being a positive force of change in the world. She has a wonderful heart and a brilliant mind for her age. She is NOT however a talented actor, in my opinion. Multiple things can be true.

Her father isn’t merely a “celebrity photographer”. In addition to being a well-known music videos and commercial producer, he was the personal photographer of Prince, one of the most iconic artists in music history. You’ve also conveniently left out that her cousin is Nas, one of the most popular rappers and legendary musicians ever. Those kind of connections open doors, whether you’d like to admit it or not. It gives her an instant link to a network of high-power decision makers & an understanding of how the industry works. All of which have no doubt benefitted Yara. Oversimplifications and lack of nuance are not wise.

And while Grown-ish may have been a nod to A Different World (the eldest daughter going off to college)...the fact that Barris (and Disney) even developed that idea and made that decision in the fist place is telling, especially considering that Yara is one of the least experienced on the show and her character was one of the least popular.

Everybody’s not going to feel the way you feel. Everybody won’t think the way you think. You have your thoughts, I have mine. You can continue with the gross simplifications and misrepresentations of what I’ve said. Or, conversely, we can agree to disagree.

But can we please not derail this thread as others so often are. Generally, this is one of the few threads that doesn’t contain foolery.

all in fun... and yes I did stretch.. very well thank you... lol but much love to you... enjoy your night.

black-ish renewed today for it's 8th and FINAL season, I called this awhile ago. I hope Marcus has a very good career after the show because he is very talented.

I hope we finally get to see him freeballing in basketball shorts during the final season.
 
LOL why would they let him do that on ABC

They are obsessed with hiding it. I’ll never forget they were so afraid of his dick print showing that they made him wear red shorts when he had on the Iron Man outfit with the tights.

And yet, somehow in that same episode they completely overlooked his giant dick obscenely bulging in his khakis a few shorts scenes later. :joy:
