one bothers to take chances. For example Jack n' the box recently made a
commercial where Jack the owner of the chain was talking to the president.
The president was white even though Obama has been in office for a year.
I think the with the writers strike happening around that time frame they
decided to progress things a bit. But you are correct, they could have
showed their relationship more. Maybe they were afraid of showing an
interracial couple? Interracial couples, and other types of relationships

Intriguing. Which bias test would he take? I took one of those years ago where
you had to quickly choose between two sets of choices that basically boiled
down a preference for lighter or darker skin. Think i came out in the middle,
but I recall not liking the test.

During the writers’ strike, they had no difficulty developing other storylines
and romances of people who were not Black, and they had no trouble showing Tory
in a relationship or the character on Caprica in a relationship, so I’m now
inclined after years of thinking this guy did not have Black

The storylines were shot before they got to that point in time is what I'm
getting at. Very little anywhere in Hollywood was shot during the strike.
It could have more to do with the casting director and not the actual
directors or writers. This is an issue that has come up before and has not

there were never any black people. Black people don't buy coffee?

Then perhaps it was coincidental that the difficulties they had with Black
characters throughout the entire series seemed similar to what was done during
the strike, I do not know, but from my view they were doing more of the same.

additional screen time for all of the main characters from their points of

Perhaps we just have to agree to disagree. If all the great character
development for African Americans scenes were coincidentally relegated to
webisodes and the only reason that a black person’s role was not developed
while others were was because of the strike, I find that coincidence odd.
Without talking to them directly or someone asking them point blank we will

I guess we just disagree on both whether Moore is prejudice against Black and
the definition of implicit prejudice. I believe Moore is prejudice against
Blacks.
You are actually the first black man I have ever met who has come to Moore’s
defense. This was not about Black leads.
I wish I could believe in that better tomorrow, but there are too many small,
stuppid hew-mons to make it feasible. They'll create ways to muck it up.
