In reply to Detruth.

I don't get it either, it's almost as if they want to discourage or diminish black love. I can understand the need for diversity and to display mixed relationships, but the networks could at least let the representation be a reflection of society and include a significant amount of black married couples instead of just one or two. Unless it's all or mainly black cast, very few shows allow the black lead to have a black spouse. I was pleased to see that the new show "All Rise" is an exception since the black female leading star who plays a judge has a black husband, SO FAR. Another trend is that they start off with a black spouse who either dies or divorces them. We'll see how long her black husband lasts, Angela's lasted only a few episodes. Very frustrating trend.
