In reply to stacey.

I get what you are saying but it's 2014. If executives still feel that Caucasians won't tune in for a black lead couple, when will they ever feel as though they will? Most likely there will always be the need to have the lead roles split among the races and if two lead characters are romantic the chances of them both being played by an African American are slim. It just takes an executive who is willing to take a creative risk and surround the black couple with Caucasian lead actors in other roles. It's amazing to me that black people keep taking two steps forward and two steps back when in comes to being featured on major networks.
