Now, Regina King is a sexy black woman.
Her character on "Southland" (Detective Lydia Adams) is currently unattached (she was dating a black man, but--shall we say--complications arose!).
She works with a sometimes-attached/sometimes-not-attached white guy (Detective Russell Clarke, played by Tom Everett Clarke).
Now, you KNOW what's coming next, right?
Black woman/White man.
It's that way on damn near EVERY drama on television!
Why???
OK, so Detective Clarke just told Regina King's character "You know I love you...".
He didn't say it like "I love you as a friend."
Here we go...
[There's also a Hispanic male detective character--I don't remember his name--who was flirting with Regina's character, but it didn't seem like she was goin' for it, and his character isn't very prominent. Hell, I'd prefer the Hispanic to the white boy, since it seems that those are my only choices here...]
I'm watching... and waiting.
As soon as Southland goes there, and hooks Regina's character up with this white character, I'm going to seriously (very seriously) consider not watching.
I'm sooooo tired of this bullshit!
It's like the media is promoting (not reflecting, actively promoting) black female/white male relationships.
That's what white men need--more women to choose from, right???
Well, the show is over, and Regina King's character is still unattached--for now...
Stay tuned...!
