So, does UPN play anything besides black sitcoms? 

I've been watching UPN occasionally for the last 12 or 13 years of my life, and every time I was trying to watch something that didn't COMPLETELY suck, like Vogayer or Buffy, all that seems to be on is some black sitcom. I mean, it's always Steve Harvey this, or Jami Foxx that, and now we got stuff like Girlfriends and I don't know what else. And that's fine, I don't mind some good black representation, but these shows suck. Every week, or day, I'm not sure, these poor actors have to run a gauntlet of weak disses and stereotypes.

Black Dude: Yo, I'm black!
Black Chick: Damn, biotch, that don't work here; we all black, aight?

Well, that's not exactly how it goes, but if you've ever seen one of these shows, or even an ad for one of the shows, you'll know I've got the basic idea.

Okay, I'm watching UPN now, and I was wrong. They also have re-runs of all-white sitcoms that have long since left the air, or aren't popular enough that the channel that runs them also wants to re-run them. They also have funny looking things like Jake 2.0, it's like, this nerd, and he gets, like, superpowers! They also have Enterprise, which is the worst version of Star Trek ever. They also have a black guy, but his problem is, unlike the exuberant black folk on UPN's sitcoms, this African-American suffers from having no personality whatsoever.

If you found this or any of my other posts at all conroversial, great. Write me, post a Shout Out, send a letter to your member of congress, just do something. to prove that you're actually reading the stuff I write. Otherwise, I'll have to do some really drastic controversial stuff.
