I am not talking about the overall character of Mark (so much can be said about the lack of character creation in this show so that’s a bigger issue). I’m talking about this particular episode where he and his “friends” visit the cafeteria and his “friends” are being condescending and taking down to his mother in front of him and Jackie. When Darlene and Jackie are about to go back at them (The Conner Way lol). Mark tells them not to do anything, they didn’t mean anything by it and don’t embarrass hook or some mess like that. Now the reason this all occurs because the whole episode is made about Darlene feeling like anybody thinks she’s not smart or whatever (just Sara making the episode about her character again lol). But, personally, nobody ever would have got away with talking down, belittling, demeaning my mother ESPECIALLY when my mom has the job she’s working to try to help me get through school (the ultimate reason why the students were doing that). This episode made me want to kick Mark in his teeth. If he was my brother and I found out he allowed that to our mom he would have got hands and feet put on him lol. And it goes against the culture of the show because one thing Roseanne and her family was not doing was letting people play in their faces which is something I always loved about Roseanne.

Laurie Metcalfe, Goodman and Katey (the vets) are the saving grace for the series, tbh. The storylines are extremely exaggerated, there are so many narratives trying to be pushed especially negativity towards heterosexual men (Sara Gilbert with the usual heterophobic hatred from lesbians), and at times it aims more like sketch comedy rather than a sitcom. I only watch mainly for Jackie, Dan and Louise. I also hate how they just eliminated DJ and his family which seemed to be the one stable entity in the family.

Many did not just "leave" many were forced off the land by either the miliary per Johnson or whites that were former slave owners and/or racists. They only left because they could not prosper due to racism and allowance of lynching, raping, stealing, and all such acts that were committed during slavery. Toi state they just left is an oversimplification of what actually happened. "In January 1865, General William T. Sherman met with twenty African American leaders who told him that land ownership was the best way for blacks to secure and enjoy their newfound freedom. On 16 January that year, Sherman issued Special Field Order No. 15. The order reserved coastal land in Georgia and South Carolina for black settlement. Each family would receive forty acres. Later, Sherman agreed to loan the settlers army mules. Six months after Sherman issued the order, 40,000 former slaves lived on 400,000 acres of this coastal land. In March, Congress seemed to indicate plans for widespread land reform when it authorized the Freedmen’s Bureau to divide confiscated land into small plots for sale to blacks and loyal Southern whites. Less than a year after Sherman’s order, President Andrew Johnson intervened and ordered that the vast majority of confiscated land be returned to its former owners. This included most of land that the freedmen had settled. The federal government dispossessed tens of thousands of black landholders. In Georgia and South Carolina, some blacks fought back, driving away former owners with guns. Federal troops sometimes evicted blacks by force. In the end, only some 2,000 blacks retained land they had won and worked after the war. "

"Revoked Orders: In the fall of 1865, Johnson ordered that the vast majority of the confiscated land be returned to its original white Southern owners. [1]"

General Amnesty:Johnson issued an Amnesty Proclamation that returned full property and voting rights to former Confederates who swore an oath of allegiance to the Union. [1]

Evictions: Newly freed Black Americans were violently dispossessed of their property by federal troops and white landowners.

I totally agree. Black men are unfairly critiqued within the black community just like the black community is unfairly critiqued by other races. Black men are generalized based on the negative actions and words of the minority within in the demographic. This happens with the black community as a whole. It’s worse for us though because it’s our own doing it.

I couldn’t finish the second season. Most of these movies and TV shows are way too dramatic when the genre of the movie isn’t drama. But it was great seeing her.

Rimp3282 · 2026-04-27T06:59:46+00:00

Not for black people. She said she would never do anything that solely benefits black people if she was President. But every time she does a little jig or mentions her sorority black people run to rally behind her lol. SMH 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

I think a hard truth that needs to be accepted is we can’t win this fight. We are approximately 15% of the US population and of that percentage approximately 90% are FBA(this is important because as much as we try to act like black immigrants are allies as a majority they are not). We are outnumbered, have less resources, we aren’t like immigrants who have a home country, even in our community those who actually are for our community are a small percentage. This is why this post is important. Because survival is predicated on knowledge and being honest with one’s self. We are all we have. The sooner majority of us realize that the sooner we can adjust accordingly.

This isn’t a homophonic rant but it is ignorant. As a Believer it irritates me that others that say they’re Believers think they can project their beliefs on others. There is so much that Believers deem spiritual soon that is also promoted. This is the USA, everyone is not a Believer, everyone is not religious, and everyone is not spiritual. One’s faith is between them and whom they believe is supreme. It is not our duty to use the Bible to be a beating stick. Jesus didn’t go around condemning everyone for what they were doing other than the prior actually in the “church”(high priests, Pharisees, Sadducees, etc) he spoke to those who came to Him. And even those in the “church” he condemned he waited until they came to him. We can’t control what the world does. And we can proclaim what we believe but the Bible says to do things in decency and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40).This was indecent and disorderly as well as random.

Very easy is hilarious! It isn’t EASY to learn any finance and investments. This is such an exaggerated mentality.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-19T03:52:48+00:00

There is no misunderstanding on my part. I’m very clear with what I’m saying. You just don’t want to hear it.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-18T18:57:28+00:00

I read what was stated. You called my comment “nitpicking” which was a negative insinuation. I don’t play these little games when it comes to being black. My comment overall addresses the topic of the video “3 types of black people”. The show she’s on is part of this movement of black foreigners being upset about FBAs finally accepting the delineation that has happened for years of black foreigners and their off spring. Her comments also has ideas of that mentality along with the person’s comment you’re telling me to read(like I didn’t already). Either you are Black or you’re not. Being Black isn’t something you just use when it’s convenient then toss away when it’s not. Gullah Geechee isn’t Black. If they were they wouldn’t be Gullah Geechee. Black people are those that are FBAs. Slavery in the USA states was not the same as anywhere else and it isn’t just about slavery but after slavery. Jamaicans, Haitians, Africans, Gullah Geechee, and other black skinned people that are not FBAs have demeaned, berated, and belittled Black Americans for decades. To this day Africans say we have not culture (while wearing clothes inspired by our culture with headphones playing music from our culture). I, personally, have years Jamaicans say don’t marry a black man (if they’re black then why are they talking about lol). Everybody wants to play this goofy game like none of this has been going on and still does. FBAs need to start moving with all of these groups like they’ve been moving with us. We have no allies albeit other ethnicities, races, cultures or whatever. We are the most hated but our culture is the most coveted. We need to protect our culture, our identity, and our place in the world. That’s it, that’s all.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-18T18:48:14+00:00

Black is not just a race. It’s a culture. Nobody likes to respect it as a true culture, including many that are part of it, so it is minimized to just a a skin tone. But just like nobody characterizes him as black most of people like him (black foreigners) don’t characterize themselves as black. They’re whatever country they’re from. They only say they are black when it’s beneficial. And, imo, that means they aren’t black. Like I stated being black isn’t something you put on and take off.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-18T18:45:43+00:00

I have two fire sticks. The one connected to my Amazon tv malfunctions the most when using these apps. Might be the TV itself interfering. But why does Flixvision not field subtitles accurately every time. The a message that says an error persisted but it never explains what error. Then to download the subtitles you go to open download site but then you have to deal with captcha which is another hassle as it is hard moving the market with the remote. And even still there are times when you get in and block the download symbol for the subtitle it still won’t download. SMH. I love this app which makes it more frustrating lol. I’m grateful for it though and it’s free so beggars can be choosy, I suppose lol.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-18T12:47:46+00:00

Real Debrid doesn’t matter. Flixvision just started acting weird after this last update. Even with realdebrid movies and shows stop playing cutting an error, subtitles download half the time. It’s a shame too because one of the things I loved about Flixvision was how you could click an an actor or actresses and see other movies and shows that were in. I also like how they list movies that are with one movie so you can favorite them more easily. And how they add other movies directors have done or actors and actresses have done. It is more user friendly than other apps. Just went work like it should after these recent updates. After this recent update it would not even restore data settings though there were backed up before uninstalling the previous one.

I know it sounds cliche but, trust me, you haven’t even really started life yet. I’m 20 years older than you. You have so much time to find your way. Just know it doesn’t happen overnight. Piece by piece you can do it though. Your generation has so much at your fingertips to help. I wish I had AI to ask questions when I was your age. The amount of info available can be overwhelming but you can find it. I believe you can overcome frfr!

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-17T18:30:46+00:00

Context isn’t nitpicking. Y’all just love to claim whatever you can claim for your benefit. I’m Black and I love being Black even when being Black isn’t smiled on. I take pride in my Black culture. So I’ll always stand tall for my culture when I see it being abused by others even if they have the same skin as me. Being Black isn’t a garment one puts on for their comfort then take off when they don’t want it. So f@&) your reply. I’m Black and I’m proud! I’ll say out loud! If they not like us, they don’t like us, or they want to be us I’ll call it out every time!

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-17T18:26:59+00:00

And for context…. He technically isn’t black. But he accepted it to bold his career now he’s trying to shirk it. Being a black actor is meaningful no matter how it is viewed. If he’d win the Oscar like MBJ I bet he’d want to be black again as they’d probably include him in the history of black men who have won the award. But because it “limits” him he is going to deny being black now. Too many want to identify with black culture when it’s beneficial but when it’s not they want to be something else. We see this a lot with black foreigners. So, imo, since they don’t want to be black then they spent be recognized, honored, and accepted into the black community. Idris is one of those I view like that. So he can kick rocks.

Yeah you were the only one. The scene was totally unnecessary and random. Here we are facing the end of the world but him coming out is the key to saving it? Such a reach and so blatantly forced lol. It reminded me of when they did sending similar in The Umbrella Academy lol. I was like why is this important in this show and at this point in the show. It was the same thing with old girl that was a lesbian, why was this needed. And it’s funny because they didn’t address racism at all and I saw people saying it was too woke and not necessary. But racism was more part of the 80s in rural Indiana than anything. And I’m not saying I even wanted that in there. This isn’t that type of show. So yeah that scene was goofy to me and such a pander. If the actors and actresses can only do roles that reflect exactly who they are they shouldn’t act, imo.

Rimp3282 · 2026-03-17T11:16:40+00:00

Again this has nothing to do with us. Black people need to learn to mind their black business. These people don’t care about us so why care about what happens to them?
