Black-ish

[74-911]

Anyone else watching "Atlanta" on FX ?? very well done with subtle and thought provoking humor.... not your usual TV to say the least.

Yucking it up at the Stalag. Klink and Sgt Schulz were played by Jews. Ivan Dixon was the token black. Le Beau was an actual concentration camp survivor and Hogan a real life swinger who got murdered.

Guess what instead of watching this mindless TV, I worked on my Datsun Z last night...it was therapy.

I watch PBS and PBS Creation especially Martha Stewart Bakes.

Did not watch Rosanne before and will not watch now. She just does not entertain me. Probably will not watch Blackish. Too many movies on my Firestick to be doing sitcoms.

From the maybe gay grandson that wears women's clothes and nail polish to the adopted black girl by the now adult son to the eldest daughter who wants to be a surrogate to pay her bills. The best is Roseanne being a Trump supporter.

Immediately following Roseanne was a show called black-ish There is so much disturbing about this show I don't know where to begin. But the black on white racism and white shaming was intolerable.

I am sure this will end in PARF

My guess is that neither show is targeted at you or your demographic. You aren't supposed to understand. Both shows, I'm sure have plenty of people that can identify with them, or see themselves as being just one small step removed from either but can identify with the humor. And it's comedy, not real. People laugh at exaggeration or satire which is likely what most of the comedy in both is.

I watched Roseanne some when I was younger and it was on. It wasn't Roseanne that was funny or entertaining to me, it was mostly the rest of the cast.

Most people won't get it unless it's told them them first. People these days don't like or care about puzzles and why bother figuring it out when you can Google the answer.

Caters to a new generation of Mericans that take everything said literally.

I don't think you truly understand what that word means.

There have always been and still are white people who are niggers.

sometimes it niggles me when people equivocate

Watch black-ish from the beginning, when it was making jabs at black culture being black for the sake of being black. It's only started to become a bit more radical since, you know, the world has kinda gone off the deep end over the last year. It's also a bit more radical now because of the fact that a bunch of entitled old white guys can sit here and keep saying that word over and over, while trying to convincingly say "what, I'm not racists, it's just a word..."

This is despicably and deplorably ELITIST.

When I see two young white guys walking down the street towards me I cross over because I don't want to get mugged.

Well I suppose not, would you rather be hearing about a blow by blow account of a Stormy Daniels movie?

I am not the one who is touting Roseanne as being the epitome of comedy either.

Yes sir...


Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
