But it would be nice if the AA viewers would support AA actors.

This question would never be posed to a white viewer, nor should it be to any viewer. I wouldn't support any actor just because of their race, that's the ultimate in racism. I supported REG because I loved the character of Evangeline. Tika never gained the same support because ABC never invested in the character and gave you something to root for. I never supported Tobias Truvillion, because one, he couldn't act and two I hated his character. I love the character of Shaun, but hate Greg. DD as Rachel was so different from the original, she just never caught on, but she did have a fan following.

They still bash SH and GT is getting up the behind right now. They are pushing for a Rex and Kelly union for obvious reasons. They don't support neither of these white characters. But, all miniorities must support all minorities because it is our duty. RME. She's an idiot. A bad actor is a bad actor and Tobias was an awful actor.

You really are stupid. If I support all white actors, you tell me I am racist. If I don't support Evangeline, you tell me I am racist. If I support Destiny then I am supporting "the Negro shuffle." No wonder you never get what you want. All you want is Evangeline with a white man, or any AA actress with a white man. You really are insecure and don't find yourself worthy. Your whole self worth is based on having an AA character catch a white man. It sure does make it sound like you don't think AA men are worth much.

I think you're confused about the "Negro Shuffle". It's not about have a AA character male or female. It's how that character is treated and the purpose they serve on a show. This is inregards to Daytime or Primetime.
1. Original Rachel-had a large following. She had great chemistry with RH, NF and DG. When interest in her characters' storylines and pairings became a focus and interest was taken away from their favs. She's was removed.
2. Kerry-She had great chemistry with Antonio and Cristian. Antonio and Kerry had a huge following, but TIIC wanted her with Jessica. She's removed.
3. Evangeline-She had great chemistry with every male on the show. Something that the current females don't have. She has a hugh fanbase, but the TIIC wanted things their way and she left.
The current AA's on the show are window dressing for "Diversity" sake. They will never have a storyline, they will be sub characters. They aren't included in the "Negro Shuffle", because sadly their roles are tokens.

Well the original Rachel was story line related and was almost 20 years ago anyway. I thought that Sheri Saum wanted to leave 10 or more years ago. REG chose to walk. Over 20 years plenty of characters have come and gone, including white ones. Can ya dig any deeper into history? Let's see - Cassie was gotten rid, even after she finally had a child, LeeAnn was shoved out, Sarah was gotten rid of even though there was more story there, Kevin was fired, Nash ws fired, Jared was fired. Do you want me to go on. Calling this "the Negro Shuffle" really belittles those who fought for civil rights.

Your don't need to act (maybet it's not act) stupid. The comment was about "Negro Shuffle", yet you are commenting on Casse, LeeAnn, Sarah, Nash, and Jared. Correct me are they AA? No. They aren't. The female characters mention were dealing with the crap that AA has dealt with. But, as always deflect the issue to something else. Ingorance is bliss, and you're a blissful idiot.

But you do demonstrate your stupidity really well. You can't use three examples going back 20 or more years to cry racism, especially when two may have left on their own. We know that one did. I was refuting your accusation that they treat AA actors badly when I showed the number of key white characters that were fired in the last 15 years (and I only hit the tip of the iceberg of characters). Nobody takes you seriously because you whine about something that happened and treatment from 25 or more years ago. Why don't stop whining and start supporting?????
Why do people like you keep trying to prove that racism does not exist?
You make me laugh.
At least we can laugh at racists now. There has been progress. But we can't laugh at all of them. Just pathetic ones like this who spend their time dfending the cause of whiter soaps.
LOL! Yeah. Makes so much sense.
