All's they do is whine about white people on this show.


Like there's nothing more to their lives than thinking about white people all day and all night. I can't imagine a black family sitting down together and enjoying this show, constantly being reminded about white people. And don't even get me started on the commercials they show during this program, constantly pandering to black people.

Maybe a little... certainly not as bad as it could be though.

Last night's episode certainly did. It was uncomfortable and not funny at all. It was weird. I swear the last time I saw the show, months or years ago, it was the same type of thing.

I didn't see it last night. Could you give a couple quick examples?

There was just this whole dialogue between Anderson and his wife questioning why white people do what they do blah blah blah and why they can't see what they are doing blah blah blah. It was like they were saying that ALL white people are like this and every second of a black person's day is white people either putting them down in a condescending way and making it super hard for them to survive their day. It didn't feel like a natural conversation it felt like it was for me the viewer to overhear, so I could know I was a bad white person even and should feel ashamed. I don't watch sitcoms to learn lessons and feel ashamed by people assuming that I don't already know this stuff and or do this in reality. I have bigger, more important things going on in my life than worrying about the fragility of other races when I have definitely had some of the same thing's they complain about happen to me, a white person.

Maybe because y'all have the power?

There, black people have power too.

Complete bullshit.

If by bullshit you mean fact, yeah.

Judging by that name of yours, bet you ain't even black, just a white Liberal soyboy thinks he knows best for other races.

blacks occupy 95% of Africa, what have they done in the past 100 years? even NK is more advanced...

Way to not take socio-economic context in consideration , white supremacist.

reply

no one is holding them back, they are in charge of their own Country. yet they are still starving since 1985. whites send billions to Africa but most of it goes to the government...

You are clearly missing the entire point of the show. Why are you even watching it then, if you dont enjoy it? I love it, its funny and, at times, educational. Brilliant.

reply

me too. I liked it monday about the barbershop loyalty. great episode. had me rolling when he hid the bad haircut with the hats.

reply

Care to explain the point then
