I watched every episode of Good Times so you dont have to. (It was obviously bad) BlackAutMedia 2024-06-02 | I don't think anyone would be surprised to hear that this series was bad, it was racist, ableist, and everything else. But I think it's also valuable not just to name the yt folks behind this but name the bigger problem of how the industry excludes Black people that know better.James Baldwin and the Annihilation of Gender: youtube.com/watch?v=vnG-iWSFo9o0:00 - Intro2:39 - Episode 1: Meet the Evans of New (Why is there a dealer baby)3:59 - Episode 2: Black of Focus (Ableism and ADHD Panic)12:21 - Episode 3: Grey's Anatomy (The bad Period Piece) 14:17 - Episode 4: They Came Before Elon (It's worse than it sounds)15:30 - Episode 5: Movin' On Out (to the bad side of TV)15:58 - Episode 6: The Ready Treaty18:57 - Episode 7: Black Love Day19:15 - Episode 8: Big Sister is Watching20:22 - Episode 9: Moving on Out21:20 Episode 10: Who even cares anymore21:28 - ConclusionsImage Credits:Pattern: Chenspec (Blue)- PixabayAfrican Pattern: Chenspec (Green) - PixabayLaboratory - darkostojanovic - PixabayAudio Credits:Sonic Unleashed - E-RankLofi_zane/ Tuguldur enkhbaatar -Laid-back Grooves (Pixabay)Works Cited:[1] - Medication Shortage cnn.com/2024/04/12/health/drug-shortage-record-high/index.html[2] - Med Shortage nbcnews.com/health/health-news/adhd-drug-shortage-adderall-ritalin-focalin-vyvanse-rcna137356[3] - Worrell, Tracy R.

The Proud Family, Colorism, and Autism - The Bebe Episode was not it. BlackAutMedia 2023-10-23 | Yeah this episode was wild. Also, I try to point this out as much as possible, but "Neurodivergent" doesn't only include ADHD and Autism and frequently gets reduced to that. It's important not to erase our sibs with Scizophrenia, Dyslexia, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, and many others in talking about autism.00:00 Intro03:37 Colorism in Black Media08:13 From 'Rism to 'Tism: Bebe and AutismSources:cinemablend.com/streaming-news/how-the-proud-family-louder-and-prouders-creators-will-keep-bebes-autism-an-important-part-of-the-disney-showbillboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/ceelo-green-tweets-rape-statements-no-contest-6236564buzzfeednews.com/article/rachelzarrell/cee-lo-green-says-its-only-rape-if-the-person-is-consciousbet.com/article/dwg84y/holly-robinson-peete-and-sinbad-support-autism-speaksessence.com/news/holly-robinson-peete-on-autism-fearmongenpr.org/2008/12/11/97940354/defending-vaccines-actress-dispels-link-to-autismSocials:=====================================================Twitter: twitter.com/BlackAutMediaTumblr: tumblr.com/blog/blackautmediaSocial: https://linktr.ee/blackautmedia

TMNT Mutant Mayhem Review | The Problem with Superfly... BlackAutMedia 2023-08-31 | You should always immediately be suspicious about any story about prejudice where the victim of violence is framed as "going too far," "going about it the wrong way, or they both-sides the whole conflict by insisting they're too angry. They always have those characters turn to just being evil, violent and irrational and never circle back to the root issue of what they were dealing with.--The problem with Splinter: youtu.be/iBBMxpyLp5E?si=zwOICHElVyR5niTsSo I watched Mutant Mayhem: youtube.com/watch?v=KhkNhb8mW7USocial: https://linktr.ee/blackautmedia00:00 - Intro01:47 - Let's Talk Casting: Jackie Chan and Ice Cube04:19 - Operation Appropriation: Gen-Z Slang is AAVE06:43 - April and Leo: How do I say this...09:58 - Character Designs11:51 - Superfly and the Angry Black man trope18:06 - OutroSources:variety.com/2022/film/news/ice-cube-confirms-lost-film-refusing-covid-vaccine-shot-1235439945twitter.com/icecube/status/1316483389663244288twitter.com/icecube/status/837046695779270657https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/idx/j/jcms/18261332.0061.503/--do-the-loud-thing-the-boombox-and-urban-space-in-1980s?rgn=main;view=fulltext

Its Not About Me - Changing the leader in Rise of the TMNT doesnt matter BlackAutMedia 2023-05-12 | Note that I know previous series have been more flexible in others taking charge over Leo, but they often still frame it where Leo has to be out of commission first and they step up in his absence. Also, I do know that Raph left Leo the key and sacrificed himself to save everyone, I should have worded that more clearly around the 13 minute mark.
