You are a moron. Just Wright has already tuned a big and it is not on DVD yet.
wow!soo anyone actually watch her perform yet?? haha just asking since you guys seem so caught up in this debate. Anyways she’s awesome. Wish her all the best. And everyone RELAX! We are all entitled to our own opinions, even those of us who happen to be jackass’ who are inconsiderate of other people’s feelings but that’s just the way it is.Believe it or not. PEACE!! =)
I just hope that Amber or someone who knows her doesn’t read this article. The very first comment is horrifically rude.
Why do the producers and casting directors of the hit show ‘Glee’ insist on ALWAYS presenting Black women and girls as FAT, LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, UNATTRACTIVE, IGNORANT, GHETTO, etc.?
On tonight’s episode (‘The Substitute’), for instance, they presented “beautiful, petite, blonde” Gwyneth Paltrow getting beaten-up (in an unprovoked attack) by a FAT, UGLY, LOUD Black girl (who, of course, “had an attitude” about nothing).
There was NO REASON for them to present this crude image of Black teen-girls (other than to reinforce the stereotype of the ugly, violent, loud Black).
The producers, writers and casting directors of this episode should be ashamed of themselves and the Black actress who took on this moronic role should hold her head down in shame.
This presentation of the Black teen girls was both offensive and pathetic in my opinion (and I AM NOT EVEN a BLACK person).
[NOTE:
This criticism does NOT include plus-sized actress, Amber Riley (a regular cast-member of the show) -- who has managed to present herself as both an attractive and a dignified character on the episodes I have seen ... unlike all of those other Black actresses who have appeared on the show in 'guest' roles.]
I imagine with her voice, Amber is not as focused on being an actress as much as she is focused on showcasing her voice abilities. But the question about plus sizes actresses (several posts ago): Camryn Manheim, Kathy Bates, Queen Latifah, Nia Vardalos, America Ferrera, Oprah Winfrey….plus size musicians: Queen Latifah, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott. The list goes on and on. A romantic lead role is not the pinnacle of an acting career. And even if she is not the next Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie, there are thousands, dare I say MILLIONS, of would actors that would love a tenth of her success.
Someone essentially help to make seriously posts I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and so far? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this particular submit incredible. Wonderful process!
