    Met Trina on the streets of Hollywood years ago. I think it was back in 2007 by a coffee shop. Trina is really sweet and down to earth. I think she’s a very underrated actress. She was very underused in my opinion. But she’s really a great actress.

    I''m not sure if you just misspoke a lot but Trina didn't quit or leave the show. She was part of the final season and got her final episode before the 2 part finale. Her episode "Angela's Ashes" was a great sendoff to the character. The finale was full of flashbacks and clips from earlier seasons. They clearly wanted to focus on the lifelong relationships between Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Eric, Feeny, etc.

    I grew up watching Boy Meets World. I rocked with the show already but when Angela's character was added it provided a new dimension for me as far as representation seeing a fellow black person on screen. Even in a majority White setting I feel like she represented the culture properly with her portrayal of Angela. It was unfortunate hearing what she went through behind the scenes, I could see it being lonely for her as the only black castmate. Especially with the racially tinged remarks she received from some cast mates & producers. I'm glad that she found the space where she could express herself & describe how she was feeling back then.

    Let’s be honest. people cared more about Shawn and Angela relationship than they did Corey and Topanga (I still hate that name 😁). I really hate the amount of racism she faced behind the scenes but sadly that’s what A LOT of BW in hollyweird faced then and even still now. She looked gorgeous and #BlackDontCrack she was older than them yet still looked the same age if not younger and even now she still looks the same while the rest have aged like milk

      That’s everywhere, not just Hollywood. Even more so, racist people do not want any black woman to have a solid relationship with a man, definitely don’t want it projected on a screen. They only show us being abused in some way or another. Never want us happy or showing us that way. It’s to further the stereotypes they created of us.

      This The thing about Hollywood.. they don't care if she's dark or light skinned.. what matters to them is which women willing to have sex to keep getting roles.. doesn't matter the race, it's about that a**..
      No it shouldn't be like that and sad that it is but when u have Time please look up kilita smith video ( she played Bernie Mac wife Wanda Mac)
      She herself said she had plenty of roles lined up but didn't get them cuz she refused to have sex for those roles..
      See a lot of people assumed Vanessa Williams got a lot of roles or the roles she did get was cuz she's light skinned and former Ms America... No.. she got her roles cuz she bent over and took it... If she hasn't slept around in Hollywood she NEVER would've had that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger or hoodlums with Lawrence fishburn.
      When movies were first created they always used dark skinned Women.. it wasn't until shady people in Hollywood with power decided they could use that power to get sex.. and a lot of dark skinned Women REFUSED to play Ball.. they stood on their morals and I definitely applaud them for that.. a lot of them will tell u Same thing I'm telling u..
      Hollywood expect women to have sex for roles, no sex no roles.. u deny sex they'll just spread word throughout Hollywood you're difficult to work with which is code for
      " she's not f***ING"
      Ik it looks like they choose light over dark but it's definitely not what it looks like in Hollywood..
      Dark skinned women deny sex so they get denied roles... It's a sad Truth..
      No not all women have to go through this... But a lot do... And unfortunately for whatever reason they wanna sleep with bw and if they refuse then they'll just refuse them shows and movies..
      It's much much deeper than what u think..

      I think it was just an off-color joke that Will didn't understand the difference between comparing a black woman to a mammy stereotype vs Trina making a Jolly Green Giant reference towards him. Basically I don't think Will even knew what the mammy stereotype even was.

    Only way I could turn down my 'blackness" is remembering when I went to private school. They wanted me to not be Me, talkative, you hit me ima "hit" you back girl, not wear legwarmers & to act "mute" basically. That's not the world life I lived tho, that's really harsh to say "turn down" knowing the system of the world wasn't designed that way for us....Turn down the "Mayberry" Andy Griffin 💩. There's other ways to talk to ppl instead of making them feel bad about themselves & situations they may have....

    I loved this show, especially when Angie’s character was added (she’s my namesake). I was pretty young, but I always wondered why the issue of her relationship with Shawn was never discussed- for me it was more about understanding the dynamics of it than being unsupportive. I thought it was such a progressive move to make at the time, but I also thought there should have been a conversation about it.

    Controlling the authenticity how BW are portrayed on tv and film by those who haven’t lived or had the black experience because they aren’t black is always and will always be a problem. They cannot just let BW be, someone also tries to control and minimize blackness, but claim they aren’t discriminatory or racist. This is no different than what goes on in all industries. She was forced out through subtle racism period. Greatness is only reserved for those who aren’t black that’s what I got from how the show treated this actress. This is similar to now Disney treated Raven Simone and how Nickelodeon treated KeKe Palmer.

    I was born 87. i used to watch boys meets world. On abc. Wen they had tgif. I can remember wen they had vader on there etc. i was in elementary school. but after Awhile watching it. I started notice trina wasn't on the show no more. Everyone else stayed around. racism is never goin out of style. some ppl might think it was the 90s. its racism its right now. And forever will be racism. I loved the show. being a child amped up to watch a new episode on fridays.

    I liked that they didn’t address the “racial element”, because as a white kid in a white town who had never met a black person; it just seemed natural, and it never occurred to me that it shouldn’t be or was weird. If it had become a key element of their relationship, I think it would’ve stigmatized it, and the relationship wouldn’t have lasted as long.

    Its real unfortunate that both this show and Saved by the Bell had some controversy regarding their black actresses. I don't think it was necessarily "racism" more like bad jokes. And yes, bad jokes can be insensitive. Obviously, none of us will know the real truth of what went on. There's always going to be two sides of the story. And yes, black characters on shows like this are going to be the minority. You know what you signed up for. Personally, I think its great that her character did so much, and became a staple of the show. She could have been a one off character, and instead they made a bold choice to make her part of an interracial couple. Which at the time, was still a bit taboo.
