Als de blanke hoofdpersonages rare namen als phoebe en chandler hebben dan zullen de zwartjes ook wel gekke namen hebben.quote:Op maandag 7 augustus 2017 12:07 schreef spijkerbroek het volgende:
Hebben ze dan ook namen als Cha'relle, Shanaynay, Trayvon, A'darrion enzo?
denk eerder veel parallel-culturen.quote:Op maandag 7 augustus 2017 12:05 schreef PietPossum het volgende:

quote:Many viewed the popular NBC comedy as essentially a white version of Fox's "Living Single," which premiered a year before "Friends" and is about six friends in New York City -- who happened to be black.
"We knew we had already been doing that," Queen Latifah, star of the sitcom, said earlier this year. "It was one of those things where there was a guy called Warren Littlefield, who used to run NBC, and they asked him, 'When all the new shows came out, if there was any show you could have, which one would it be?' And he said 'Living Single.' And then he created 'Friends.' But 'Friends' was so good it wasn't like we hated on it or anything."
[...]
The L.A. Times story continued:
"It's disappointing that we have never gotten that kind of push that 'Friends' has had," said Bowser, one of the television industry's few black female producers. "I have issues with the studio and the network over the promotion of this show."
Bowser and her four actresses said they are not putting down "Friends" and that they find it to be a quality show. "When I watch it, I laugh," Coles said. "It's very well done." They simply believe that if "Living Single" were given a similar sort of push, it would be doing better in the ratings.
The stars of "Living Single" told the newspaper that they had found ways to laugh about being in the shadow, but Freeman joked, "the minute they start referring to us as 'Black Friends,' that's when I'll go off. It's better to call them the 'White Living Single.'"

Grappig dat al die rappers de hood willen ontsnappen en in hun muziek klagen over hoe het daar is, maar jay-z is samen met beyonce goed voor een miljard dollar en wat doen ze voor de hood? Ziekenhuizen? Educatie?

Beyonce's Phoenix House
8/10
While prepping for her role in Cadillac Records, the 2009 biopic detailing Etta James' tumultuous life, Beyonce was introduced to Phoenix House, a rehabilitation center for recovering drug addicts. Bey became so enthralled with the organization that she donated her $4 million salary from the film to foundation, and went on to open an affiliated cosmetology school, which offers Phoenix House residents a seven-month training program to learn real-world skills.
Beyonce's Donation to Houston Homeless
10/10
She may be queen of the world, but she's not forgetting where she came from! Last year, it was uncovered that over the course of nearly 10 years, Bey had given to a homeless shelter in her hometown of Houston. In 2007, two years after Hurricane Katrina struck the gulf coast, Beyonce founded the Knowles-Temenos Place Apartments, a housing complex that offered a living space for 43 displaced individuals. As of last year, the singer had given $7 million to keep the complex running.
