    ? forget that season 1 cast said ? a lot. Even Rick said it once or twice I think (not in a negative or malicious way though)

    Meryl was racist of course he would say that. As many black actorscthey had on this show how could it be racist. If it was there would be no black actors meaning they don't want to give ? work.

    All the characters on the show are flawed, so saying the depictions are "weak" is fallacious because The Group doesn't really have that many legit strong characters, Carol, Daryl and Michonne are the only ones that aren't cupcakes.

    The revolving door however is very noticeable, just as one black male character dies another is introduced to take his place.

    I wouldn't be surprised cause I gave up on the show after the second episode in season 1 due to racist vibes and how far it strayed away from the source material....Came across this vid and they made somewhat of a parody of the series pointing out some racial "process of elimination" patterns towards black characters that reoccur on the show.......

    I said the ? was racist over a year ago but it's not just this show. The 'random/inevitable black man getting his ass beat or killed incidentally while other white characters escaping the same fate' trope is an ugly reminder of the type of country we live in. Even the shows I like do the same ? : Agents of SHIELD, Being Human, etc.

    They all do it.

    After Asian men being portrayed for years as being unsexy martial arts masters Glenn is welcome change, I'm glad he cuffed Maggie with the quickness.

    Could have been worse.

    Still mad at Romeo Must Die, the ? was that.
