more like “ how to make a black audience believe he can make love to anything other than a black man” chile i dont see this going past the pilot episode & even thats pushing it. Someone else mentioned why cant he play straight cuz others have done so / straights play gay all the time ect. Although that may be true to an extent , thats a little naive in thinking. Im quite sure these other actors are not as visibly out as Kenderick & they arent black! there is a reason why michael b. J,keith powers & shemar moore resides in the closet so deeply & discreetly. black masculinity is very fragile & highly valued. the black female / blk female like minded audience want to believe & fantasize the. actor actually is convicted to making love to a woman.public perception is everything. if the kids on grindr will block any “str8” who even so much as hint that he likes to do drag only on a occasion. why df u think they gonna buy a so called “ not out” black man who couldnt even convince hbo’s “insecure “ fans that he was really into issa rae s nappy headed ass??! then again whatever happen to that white queen rupert everett after he openly came out in 1999? Same year as he co starred in his last big budgett film . Coincidence? hell for that matter might as well get jussie smollett aka” worst stuntqueen of all time” to play the role. shes a more recognizable name& she could use a new stunt to cover all that coin she s about to fork over to the city of chicago anywayz
