    It still pisses me off to see that neither Living Single, nor Martin have never won any Emmys, or Golden Globe awards. Those two are really wonderful shows that should've gotten some more attention outside the black community, especially Living Single.

      Why they need to win a Emmy or Globe when they got the NAACP award. Cherish your own. Don't need white ppl to give us an award to validate where we are

      It remains a MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT when considering OUR history on TV, and it was for us, by us, recognized by us, and shows that even though we HAD a black president, there's still more of US that have work to do! When Hispanics became the majority in the 2010 US Census some people FLIPPED OUT and forms changed, dividing an ethnicity that when FUNDAMENTALLY aware of their history, never considered themselves anything but LATINO, regardless of color, United by language and traditions. That's why they PUSH to keep it, because THEY KNOW, what happened to US! #EmbraceHeritage Now, the new forms read to the person completing it, (regardless of what you put on there when returned), as follows: "Select black Latino if person is of color, otherwise mark it as white" 🙀! SMH. Not everyone, white, black, and ESPECIALLY Latino agrees with this, but no one is changing it....yet! Again, work left for US and all to do! This country has been built on color, divided by color, and repressed still because of color. We need a new revolution and that also starts with "US" and the rest of them unafraid to stand up, White, Black, Latino, Asian, Indian, Arabic, Immigrants, we all want the same thing, to be free! #wethepeople

    Out of all of the actresses, Erika Alexander's role as "Maxine Shaw" is most difficult to execute. That is why she won. But, what I love the most is......you can tell that all of these women respect each other as women and artists. #sisterhoodvibes

    I really loved the throwbacks that they displayed for all the nominees and their reactions. I love how they highlighted all the different backgrounds of the Living Single ladies too. Erika Alexander has a theatre background with classical training and is the thespian of the group; Kim Fields had the most screen experience starting out as a child star and transitioning into an adult one; Kim Coles was a comedian and a natural in front of an audience; and Queen Latifah...no description needed as we all know who Queen Latifah is.

    I'll tell you there was some highly talented, fine azz sistas on TV back in the 90s. Now were left with a bunch of reality TV rachetness. Damn, what went wrong?
