Black Flight

Quick question. Has anyone else noticed that all of the black characters are leaving network television? Can anyone tell me why? First, Jesse Martin from L&O (the original). Then the cutie mixed guy from one of the CSI shows. And Khandi Alexander from CSI: Miami. And wasn't the black guy from Lost killed off? Did I miss a memo? Is there a mission to methodically homogenize network television? Or are white people just more commercially viable? Don't answer that. I think I already know the answer.

Didn't you hear?

The networks showed Obama enough times over the last few months to fill their black people quota for the whole year.

The guy from CSI was reportedly arrested on drug charges for Heroine. It might be a trend. Perhaps we are no longer in fashion.
