Harlem and the Hoax of Representation

Harlem and the Hoax of Representation

One glance onto the current media landscape reveals countless shows featuring all black or predominately black casts. The current lineup is seemingly a representational dream come true, with more black faces than ever before dominating the small screen. As elucidated with the Obama campaign, and most recently through elected officials like Eric Adams and Kamala Harris, representation, or black…

That Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion was damn good! . a #blackexcellence moment that we took for granted. (We were all kids at the time so we didn’t know any better) . 30 years later, you see things differently and the messages they interweaves into the show and how smart it was. . RIP James Avery! I’m so happy he lived long enough to see Obama elected TWICE! . Gonna run back the final season now.

I grew up watching these shows! 😀 When viewers tuned in for a good laugh, systemic racism was addressed in some way, shape, or form. . . . #70stv #blacktvshows #blacktelevision #blacktv #blackclassictvshows #thejeffersons #whatshappening #sanfordandson #goodtimes #movinonup #aintweluckywegotem #blackactors #classictvshow #classictv #tvshows #1970s #blackcomedy #comedytv (at BLACK TV) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9IJLWj73h/?igshid=sezd3wfmgsv2

When I started this list I knew without Question @atlantafx had to be on it. From the mind that is Donald Glover @childishgambino . In the simplest terms the series follows Earn ( Glover) as he steps up in being a father to his daughter and a manager to his cousin Paper Boi’s @briantyreehenry emerging rap career with the quirky and soulful Darius @lakeithstanfield3 along for the ride. In more complex terms the series uses these three characters and those in their orbit as conduits for a poignant and cinematic episodic adventures that are stylized yet with a foundation of social realities and contemporary mythology to gaze at. This show has so many themes about the search failure and necessity for balance in actions motivated by ambition. Season 1 episode 7 where Paper boi appears on a local news shows to defend his lyrics brings into consideration a view point that is intersectional and topical. season 2 episode 6 where Darius tries to pick up a free Piano and meets Teddy Perkins.....was a commentary on the evil Side of fame and the single scariest episode of television I have ever seen... Atlanta is available on @fxnetworks and #fxnow . . . . . . #atlanta #fxshows #blackcomedy #blacktelevision #blackmedia #paperboi #robbinseason #lakeithstanfield #peaches #blackcomedians #donaldglover #youngemodernlaughs (at ATL) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2DT7vn6aB/?igshid=1qu784erii46c

www.iRocDis.com Awww! I haven't heard Harriette Winslow's voice is SO LONG! #nostalgic #flashbackfriday #AfricanAmerican #tv #sitcom #TGIF #Urkel #DotheUrkel #dance It doesn't look like a reboot will happen though & part of me is thankful for it. I haven't watched any of the reboots so IDK how well they've faired taking #classic characters & making that transition to tell good stories about their adult lives. I'm good though. "Recently, the cast of “Family Matters” reunited on the set of the show, sparking reboot rumors, but at least according to Jaleel White, that just isn’t in the cards. “Reunions of any kind can be tricky affairs mainly due to scheduling. Several members of the #FamilyMatters cast no longer reside in the state of California and they traveled quite a ways to share this one special day. And special it was! Darius is a fool (lol) Bryton (Not So Little Richie) is more mature than all of us now, Shawn and Kellie, you still have jokes…?” White said. He went on to specifically shoot down the rumors that streaming giant Netflix was looking at the possibility of a reboot. “No one was paid for our @entertainmentweekly gathering. It was done for YOU, the fans & to satisfy our own need to come together as a family. And to set the record straight, no one from #Netflix has ever contacted any of us to express an interest in doing a reboot. No hard feelings at all but that’s the God’s honest truth and life moves on with more blessings to come,” he explained. He also paid tribute to the late Michelle Thomas, who played his girlfriend on the show, saying, “But no reunion would be complete without me acknowledging our beloved Michelle Thomas 🙏🏽 This little ray of sunshine gave me some of the best physical comedy moments I’ll ever play on screen. Michelle’s smile never failed to brighten your day and I will forever miss my bubbly Myra Monkhouse #RIP 😔1968-1998 ❤ I love you, Michelle #prayersup🙏🏽” http://thegrio.com/2017/10/02/family-matters-reboot-shut-down/ Repost from @17thsoulja5 - 😍🙌🏿 This is so #cool! They all look so good! Would you all be here for a #reboot? What would that look like? #Nostalgia #BlackTV #BlackTelevision

When education and HBCUs were placed in black television shows. It was so beautiful to see young black kids watching this asking, “what’s on their sweater?” “What college is that?” “I want to go there!” #hbcu #blacktv #blacktelevision #blackexcellence #blackcollege #blackhistorymonth #bhm #subliminal #clothesthatmatter #blackeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jey1zFsji/?igshid=2fk3eid6heyq

                                              NOVA BORDELON

Nova Bordelon, the writer, activist and herbalist. Nova is the outspoken and unconventional Bordelon sibling, and eldest of Charley and Ralph Angel. Nova is an interesting character for two reasons. First, for those who read the book, Nova does not exist. Her character was created specifically for the television series. Second, for all the work Nova does in her everyday life, she is trying to figure out how to be a revolutionary and in love. As per usual, there are spoilers ahead.

During the day, Nova works as a reporter for the Daily News discussing racial inequality in New Orleans and Louisiana at large. She is an activist, a writer and an herbalist. For those who are wondering what an herbalist is, she sells marijuana. She uses her dealing as way to keep an ear to the streets. Nova is also carrying on an affair with a married law enforcement officer who is white. In a time where black lives matter is being yelled from the rafters, she finds herself at odds with her beliefs. We’ll get there, though. Nova’s activism goes above and beyond writing about the black lives and inequality of black people in New Orleans. Nova develops a relationship with a young man who goes by the name of Too Sweet. He is being wrongfully prosecuted and Nova is working towards making sure he is not only freed, but that people understand what is really happening within the criminal justice system. Nova even goes so far as to use money meant to be used on the farm to save Too Sweet. This causes even more of a strain between her and her siblings, especially her sister Charley.

Along with attempting to repair a strained relationship with her sister, that she exacerbates by discussing her sister’s crumbling marriage, she is also struggling to figure out her own love life. Nova is bi-sexual and in the first season has two love interests; Calvin and Chantal. One of the first scenes we see of Nova is an intimate scene between her and Calvin. The shot of Calvin and Nova is one of most beautiful scenes in the show. This is one of the first times, and probably one of the few times, we see Nova completely…free. Nova’s character is presented as tough and constantly running to take care of her family, to take care of her community and to show her boss that there are more important things than the scandal surrounding her sister’s marriage. Nova, like many eldest siblings, carries all the worries with her. Add to that her being a black woman, and she’s carrying the world. When she’s with Calvin there is no denying their connection. Then we learn that Calvin is married and a police officer. She seemingly ends her affair with Calvin and meets Chantal during a radio interview.

Nova cannot seem to give herself fully to Chantal. In large part because she still cares for Calvin and she is focused on Too Sweet and her investigation into issues of inequality. Chantal and Nova eventually part ways and Calvin enters Nova’s life again. He left his wife and is fully committed to Nova now. He even called in a favor to get Too Sweet’s charges completely dropped. Nova is ready to fall directly into Calvin. The most powerful scene for Nova, in my opinion, is when Nova and Calvin are out on a date at a local bar. A fellow officer and friend of Calvin comes up and speaks with Calvin and Nova. That is until Nova introduces herself and he realizes she’s the writer of the article implicating the police department for racial inequality and injustice. The man calls Nova out of her name and grabs her ass. Calvin then proceeds to beat his ass. Before the man is pulled out of the bar he does the unimaginable. He spits in Nova’s face. There are few things more disrespectful than spitting on someone. The implication of spitting on a black woman makes it even more offensive and heartbreaking. You can watch the scene below:

Above all else, Nova is an activist. Her form of protest is the written word. The significance of the man she loves being a white cop doesn’t go unnoticed and is tremendously important. How does she help spark a revolution and love a man who, solely on a superficial basis, is part of the system she is fighting against? How does Nova combat this? Black women dating outside of their race is not uncommon; especially this day and age. Yet, aside from the racial comments or stares people may have given them, there is an extra caveat with Nova and Calvin’s relationship. When the other cop begins to berate her and then spits on her the shot of her wiping her face is so powerful. She may have expected stares or whispers. Yet, being spit on was never in her thoughts. Hell, I don’t think it was even in the mind of the viewers. I audibly gasped in my living room when it happened. Initially, Nova was embarrassed and ashamed that she was sleeping with a married man who wore a badge. That never stopped Calvin from loving and supporting her. When Nova needed him most he was always there. Even if it wasn’t in the traditional sense. Nova fought against her love for Calvin constantly. Their relationship is not an all-consuming love. Rather, it is hard and frustrating. On one end, Calvin is attempting to get Nova to understand his side regarding the issues she is fighting. On the other hand, Nova realizes he is trying to understand and eventually gets it. For Nova to be spit on, and Calvin being powerless to stop it, we see something happen to Nova that we have never seen; vulnerability. The one emotion she has seemingly worked so hard to escape is on full display.

Nova can control her writing and the narrative it creates. She can control her activism and how she fights for equality. What she can’t control is love. Queen Sugar’s Nova Bordelon is vibrant. She is an herbalist, an activist, a writer and a lover. She is fire and ice. Nova knows Calvin is a good man and it is amazing to watch them fall in love. Their story is not the traditional love we constantly see on television. It’s also not the traditional type of love that we see for black women on television. For Nova, it is the one thing that she fights for that gives her pause. She can’t just dive into it the way she does her writing and her activism. The love is bigger than her. No matter what is in store for Nova in the second season of Queen Sugar, it’s safe to say it will be exceptional.
