Over-react much?

I'm sorry, I guess black stereotypes are ok after all? it gets worse from what I've heard.

[Purple Nurple]

Well I didnt get all freaked out by Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Those are stupid white people. Falling Down was about an angry white man.

They are only black stereotypes if YOU MAKE THEM that. Theres dumb and angry people in all facets of life, dude.

[BloodRaven]

That's your comparison? a comedy/parody and a drama about mental breakdowns? there are dumb, angry people in all facets but according to the show thats all we amount to, but hey, apparently there is going to be a new black character who will help break down those walls, playing a sex crazed NFL player.

Don't try and rationalize it through my eyes.

[Purple Nurple]

So you're calling The Walking Dead racist because there are no super intelligent happy black people on there???

Where are the super intelligent happy white people? Its a zombie apocalypse, The blue collars would mainly survive anyway.

Youre alright in my book, but damn....youre taking this way too deep.

I agree Nurps. You can always see what you want to see.

You can also look at the other way around. They actually made the white people look selfish, unforgiving and cruel in this episode. Talking about whether they should allow the inmates into their crew. T-Dog was the one being fair and just with compassion.

Then the one inmate looked pretty smart at the end. Shooting the rouge inmate and handing the gun over. Getting an in with the group. He also had the great dialogue earlier in the episode. Whereas the white inmate, they made him look like a dumb hillbilly.

But I digress, I am more upset about T-Dog getting offed off than Lori. Lori was driving me crazy anyways.

Great points. T-Dog was the only compassionate one in the group at that moment and the black inmate sounded 10X smarter than the white one.

ATTICA!!!!!

[BloodRaven]

The inmates aren't major characters, it's apples and oranges. The only other character written as badly is Carol, and she still gets face time. At the end of the day T-Dog was Ricks butler and Michonne is Andreas maid.

Anyways I'm done, it really is pointless trying to explain this here. You really do see what you want to.

[Purple Nurple]

Agreed. This is going no where, but to think the writers/producers are deliberately being racist is absurd.

To bad you can't enjoy the show for what it is. FICTION.

Lol. If I had a dollar for every time I wrote/deleted something. It's done. All good.

[cursona pirate]

Agree with Nurps and Pu!

[FerrariFan87]

Wow, I can't believe that episode!!

It's a shame that people can't just enjoy a show for what it is without bringing race into it. Pretty sad, really.

[FerrariFan87]

Neg me all you want. I'm upset about T-Dog dying as much as the next guy. He went out a hero. I don't see the issue.

Yeah, it was time for Lori to go... should be interesting with the new baby in the fold.

Too bad we couldn't get a package deal with Lori and Carl. Well I guess all shows need at least one kid in it. The faster that baby grows up, the faster they can kill off Carl.

[CorvusCorax]

Heard this episode was good. Can't wait to watch it online. Until then I'll skip this thread and not read the posts lol

Exactly what I was going to say. T-dog died a hero! And him being dead will hurt the group a lot.

[FerrariFan87]

I added "spoiler alert" to the title so everyone is given fair notice prior to perusing the thread.

[redrum52]

Lori needed to go. She had overstayed her welcome. I don't see thy problem you all have with Carl. He's a kid, he's going to wander. Sad about T Dog, would've traded him for Carol or Andrea in a heart beat. Carol contributes nothing and Andrea is just annoying. I think she gets Michonne killed.

[Purple Punishment]

I really wanted T Dog to stay on the show. You never got to learn anything about him. I mean, every other character, you found out about them. T Dog was there from day one and didnt get any highlights.

I read about the actor that portrays him IronE Singleton. Man, his story is amazing and for him to be doing anything positive is beyond the environment he came up in and the hand dealt to him early as a child

I didnt see T Dog cater to Rick like a butler. He didnt cook Ricks dinner, wash his clothes, or any other chore you can think of. Rick took charge of the group ALL of them followed his order

Michonne wasnt Andreas maid. Remember she found Andrea sick and exhausted. She saved Andreas life and helped her in her recovery. Shes looking after her until she fully recovers.

She isnt a "mad black woman" either. She is just very untrusting of the governor. She is portrayed as being [b]Extremely Intelligent [/b]for how she kept walkers off of her, how she put two and two together with that Humvee. Shes also a former attorney from her back story. All points you brought up have been debunked.

I could counter argue this up and down the easter seaboard but the conversation is over, theres no point trying to explain racial undertones in tv and film to people who deny it. Don't quote me I'm done here.

I'm done with the show. Don't get me wrong I'm happy Lori is finally dead but the T-Dog thing just pissed me off, he was the most undeveloped character on the show and was written off the same way [u][b]he was portrayed, a big, dumb, black stereotype.[/b][/u]

I don't have any hopes for what they'll do to [u][b]Michionne either, another "angry black woman" on TV[/b][/u]? no thanks, i'll pass on that tired default too.

Enjoy the show guys.

i was very surprised by T-Dog's and Lori's death in the same episode. heart wrenching!

Agreed 100. There's nothing racist about this show. And I never even thought about that until he brought it up.

I think Carl might go on a killing spree and go crazy lol. I wonder how Rick acts next episode, I think Carl might be the paste to this group now and will hold them all together not knowingly.

Anyone else felt sick after the last episode? First time this show managed to gross me out.

I was just sad. Very very very sad. And the talk about racial undertones is ridiculous. Just needs to stop. Some people will always make up what they think something means. It's like my Women Filmmakers class. People get the craziest ideas from the smallest things. I thought T Dog was coming into his own. They were a group/family and when they lost Lori and T Dog(possibly Carol) they went back to square one. And the Michonne comparison was even more bizarre. She's clearly smarter and stronger than Andrea. Andrea's gullable and falls for anybody in a leadership position. She's weak in the show. I'm kinda disappointed by that difference from the comics. Now I'm done.
