Barris has changed his mind...
According to reports Kenya Barris filed for a dismissal of the divorce on May 15.

Cheaper to keep her...
I wonder if it is true he was dating Tracy Ellis Ross after he filed for divorce?
Good. One less broken home.
I tried watching #BlackAF but couldn't get past the third episode. Too corny and unrealistic and Kenya's non-acting, toddler dressing ass looks like Droopy Dog to me. Plus all that shit talking about White people coming from the Jones woman who's half-white makes no sense to me.
@10:52.... Prolly above your capacity. Need more bandwidth.
Right! @ 11:08 Love #BlackAF

I felt the same way, and I had a problem with the title "#BlackAF" when it should have been called #PrivilegedAF or Mixed AF. The cast was a mixture of racially ambiguous people of color - not necessarily "black", but "black-lite". Like, the title, topics, and cast didn't support my idea of what it meant to be "#BlackAF". I mean, I liked where Barris was trying to go conceptually, but the execution was too poorly done. The bad acting, cringe-worthy stereotypes, and then the way they "broke down" controversial topics like: slavery, colorism, and racism just felt very after-school-special like in a corny AF type of way.
Then, you have Rashida, who has always struggled with her racial identity, portraying his mixed-raced wife.
@Royal. Lol. You probably couldn't even be in the same room as my bandwidth.
@11:35AM. Glad you get where I'm coming from. They're BlackAF but nobody on that show looks BlackAF. There's absolutely no color diversity on that show but yet the average Black person's supposed to be able to relate? And what exactly is the message?
I don't understand how as a viewer I'm supposed to be empathetic with a very wealthy, privileged Black family with means where the mother is represented as a detached airhead and the father comes off as an entitled asshole who's obsessed with his worldly possessions and his gold chain. MAKES NO SENSE.

You said all there needs to say on that mess.
I couldn't get past the first 3 episodes.
Y'all are better than me. What I saw looked like a more vulgar version of blackish. He sure does have a helluva fascination with light bright Black women.
Black AF was wack af to me. Glad he's staying with his wife who had however many kids. Makes sense.
@Royal
You told nothing but the truth. Ms Whack thinks she's the shit. Yeah, she's so full of shit it's coming out of her mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.
^Hey hoe. Stay mad, ok? :)
^^^^
That's what they call your mammy, grandmammy, and they answer to the name of hoe. You come from a long line of hoes including your sorry ass bitch.
@6:02 that was so corney. You sound like a hater.
@7:05pm
Before you criticize anyone FIRST learn how to spell corny. Okay, bitch. Your non-spelling ass is CORNY. The over used word HATER is corny.
Don't matter how you spell it you still corny, corney and corneeeeeeeeee hater.
@10:27pm
I know it doesn't matter to you because you're a crack baby idiot who can't spell. 😭💉💊👶🏼💊💉
Black AF is hilarious and all you commenting idiots are funny too but without money.
Tracy reminds me of her old t.v. character Joan from Girlfriend's. She strikes me as the type to go with a married man, the sneaky emotional whorish type. Yes, he's the married one, but God doesn't distinguish between the two adulterers and nor do I. I just couldn't hurt another woman, especially one with 6 kids by a man. Smh. He destroyed his nice little family over nothing. If he is still working with Tracey tell me how in the heck can his marriage move forward? Just stupid. His wife shouldn't have to tolerate his side pieces presence.
@12:50PM: Another ignorant Ninja who throws money into the conversation because they don't have a more intelligent comeback. Like one poster said above BlackAF is WackAF. And you will deal.
@8:01pm You're another ignorant fool who thinks they're intelligent. You're on a gossip blog idiot. Your comment is WACKAF. YOU have us all shook, keyboard tough guy. LMBAO! GO to bed already!!
@8:01pm Your stupidity has no bounds.
