Are you tired of non-Black writers writing bad film or television dialogue for Black characters? So is Tyler James Williams.

In his tweet, Williams asked non-Black writers to "please stop writing Black 'slang' dialogue for your Black characters. It always sounds like it was written by a middle aged white dad. Always. Like never doesn't sound like that. Sincerely, Black actors trying to make your shit sound natural."

Dear non black writers, Please stop writing black “slang” dialogue for your black characters. It always sounds like it was written by a middle aged white dad. Always. Like never doesn’t sound like that. Sincerely, Black actors trying to make your shit sound natural. — Tyler James Williams (@TylerJamesWill) March 18, 2020

Exactly. All it does is tell Black people what these White folks think Black people sound like. And over 99.99999999999% of the time, it completely misses the mark. — ????????‍????The League of Extraordinary Melanin™ (@RandyS0725) March 19, 2020

Hopefully, some writers heed the message and be more truthful with their writing.
