As you were an EP on this show Mr James, I challenge you to make another docu-drama.. One that investigates why the black lgbt community found it necessary to hold a totally separate and independent Black Pride march in London ever since 2005! Let’s see if you have the guts to take on that truth?

[@davymarzella]

You’re the only one providing any “drama”

[@abcxyz2927]

@@davymarzella You’re entitled to your opinion. Pity you have no idea what’s going on though..!

Hello @abcxyz2927

[@rm-54373]

@@abcxyz2927 It does not seem you have any idea of what is going on either. I am not sure about the UK but it was not until over the past two, or maybe, three years here in Toronto that the Pride Flag, the symbol of the LGBTQ community, the colours of which symbolize and represent all people of colour, decided to include black and brown colours Which goes to show that, even within a community where its members are described as minorities, we - black and brown people, a subset of those said minorities - are still excluded. So, maybe that explains why there has to be a separate Black Pride. We also have Black Pride here in Canada as well.

I think it's sad that just about every role on tv written for black characters tend to be gay characters. I'm surprised and disappointed that such a great actor in LJ agreed to play the part. The fact is this is how we seem to be portrayed on tv most of the time. I hated it, but I should have known something was strange because of the 'prime time' slot the BBC allocated to it!

[@rm-54373]

@rootsmacca. Your comment on just about “every role on tv written for black characters tend to be gay” is a bit of a stretch and an exaggeration. So tell me, what are your thoughts when we are portrayed as thieves, shoplifters, drug dealers, drug addicts, carjackers, baby daddies with multiple baby mamas, baby mamas with multiple baby daddies? Because there are those representations of us, but a truly meaningful love story between two men seems to surprise and disappoint you most. Mr. Loverman is a human story. It is about love. In fact, this, for me, is the first and most satisfying love story between two black men that I have been desperately and anxiously waiting to see. Oftentimes, the ones I see on tv “almost always” ( to borrow a phrase) have some messy gay “drama” going on only for shock value and a jump in tv viewership/ratings.

It’s one of the best things I have EVER seen ! It’s deeply powerful and extraordinary 🎭🧠🖤🤎
