It is so absolutely cringe inducing how Nickelodeon constantly tries to convince their audience that they are “not hateful and prejudice propaganda” whether through agonizing advertisement, campaigns, or their obnoxious new programming, I distinctly remembered “The Thundermans”, “Make it Pop”, “Game Shakers“ the “ICarly” reboot, “The Haunted Hathaways” and “Henry Danger” franchise depictions of all the Asian + African-American characters as one dimensional brain dead, vapid, and unnecessarily aggressive weirdos with the worst comedic timing and execution of jokes, rebrand in themselves with their “all inclusive and diverse programming” 😂 Dan Schneider and Brian Peck have the privilege to get away with it because they are White passing Jews.
Girl everyone was targeted on Nickelodeon. Amanda bynes was r@ped and forced into an abortion, Drake Bell was r@ped. Everyone was a target. The blame should be placed highly on the parents as well
Omg that is abhorrent. I would love to hear your take and discussion on this! I’m truly disgusted
Also, Brian Peck had Giovanni Samuel's walk on his back.
I remember being a child & seeing these characters and being offended. There was nothing funny or cute about them. I hated it. It looked awful and humiliating. Also the pervs that were on set? too old to be on a teens kid show. Pickle boy wasn’t a boy? Why was he allowed on the skits? I’m so upset with Nickelodeon.
Giovanni is one of my old friends from high school sister and she is so sweet in person. Down to earth would never even know she’s a famous actress just based on her charisma and chill.
Question: Who run/own these companies?
Answer: WHITE LIBERALS!!!🤷🏻♀️🙄😅
All the kids, no matter the race, were preyed upon.
I remember the cookie scene as a kid and even then I knew it was wrong
All That got lame when Keenan and Kel left the show
Dan is a pig who needs to go to prison!
Honestly… who’s more racist???? The writers or the parents who subjected their children to this behavior???
Althought its despicable that a kid was being punished by stereotypes, lets not pretend that it wasnt poc gangbangers that were dealing those substances. We can accept the truth without forcing a child to pay for their communities faults.
Wow. Keen and kel smh
To be honest racist or not shit was funny and realistic to life lol. And the doc was bull shit. He was just a ass hole. (No talking about those 2 monsters on the set they can go to hell)
What’s worse is that the original All That had such an urban feel to it with lots of diversity. The diversity and the urban culture used in the series is what made him a top show runner. Then when the show returned with a new cast you had the token black cast members that got less sketches then the yt ones or some of the worst sketches that aren’t even memorable. He used our culture when it was popular then dropped it when it wasn’t needed anymore then started making shows like victorious and Drake and Josh forgetting about the people and culture that made him what he was.
Nothing racist about it
My jaw is on the floor. This should never have been acceptable.
Those white actors did get some preferential treatment alright thst is why Amenda bynes is a fd up right now
For me it’s the mistreatment of a child that’s the major problem. Tv and movies are notorious for discriminatory behavior but adults have better understanding of what they are getting into than children.
I was to poor for cable growing up looks like I didn't miss out on much. Smdh.
Wym “you know what" I thought it looked like noses
Yeah yeah racism racism racism The whole point is their predators and perverts My gosh enough
Giovanni was in a lot of sketches on the show and was very memorable to me as a kid. Not sure why she’s trying to play the discrimination card now when the sexual abuse is clearly the most important issue
Im watching episode 2 and oh my goodness 😢
Don’t act, get a job. Have some respect for yourself .
I’m watching this over the weekend. Ugh I’m not prepared it’s so sad
And their careers didn’t advance so why did their parents allow them to dwell in their enemies house? Just like nia mom holly from dance moms. Stop putting your children through unnecessary racism
To clarify they were asking which shade of leotard to get and immediately someone rudely said charcoal. His makeup artist was the one comforting him.
I'm so glad the mistreatment of black actors is being talked about. A while back, I remember hearing Leon Thomas iii talk about how he was told to act "more black" when auditioning for Victorious. I always felt like Nickelodeon made their black actors act like clowns even though damn near all of them were more talented than the vanilla main character.
that skit creeped me tf out, even back then. I can see where Doja Cat got some of her aesthetic inspiration from tho.
This isn’t Nickelodeon, but I remember Angela’s actor from Boy Meets World talked about the racism she faced while working on the show if that’s something you wanted to delve into
That’s crazy, I remember watching these scenes as a kid. I thought nothing of it, I’m grown now and I am extremely offended about my childhood and what these individuals went through for our entertainment. Absolutely insane
That was the 90s
Was her name Tracey? And she does the “readings” with Lamar Townsend or am I tripping? I thought I recognized her from somewhere
