Well its a good thing you do this because while on while crime is so high!

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.

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..."

Ya, actually you did. No one here and your observation is way out.

No, I don't think his observation is "way out" it is spot on. The Trump loving, have to comment on anything remotely socially progressive, every Subaru is driven by a lesbo crowd on Pelican is well established. You may think you are not racist but the jokes and comments and butt hurt over anything that doesn't conform to the evangelical christian white standard is all over this board. Taking a knee is somehow anti American. Not a legitimate protest by a community when their kids are shot by cops holding an Iphone in Granny's back yard. A show about a Black family is somehow black on white racism but your attitude and views somehow aren't. It's fine, we get it, go hug your AR15 and watch FOX News, you'll feel better. This belonged in PARF from the start.

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.

Maybe you are correct. Maybe neither show is geared toward me. But since the first running of Roseanne was my generation I think maybe it is somewhat geared toward my generation. Maybe not me specifically, but, I think the demographic is my generation. That being said Roseanne did have it's funny moments for me. Mostly, the political jokes. Everything else was just over the top dysfunctionality. But, I think that is what original show was as well. Dysfunctionality ten fold.

Black-ish wasn't funny at all. It was blatant hatred. It promoted hatred toward whites. The husband stating to his wife (presumably who has some white blood because the "whites" were her family) "I hate the whites". He then shamed the white people at the dinner table (Easter) who wouldn't eat certain food.

Dave Chappelle is funny in his exaggeration of white people. Such as the skit form his show "The Niggars". Chris Rock is funny as was/is Eddie Murphy.

I haven't seen any entire Blash-ish episodes, but I did watch a bunch of clips on youtube out of curiosity and saw some stuff that I immediately understood and thought was funny. I'm sure there's probably stuff there that I wouldn't find funny, and Mike/Pazuzu did say that it's changed since it started.

Holy crap dude, the main character is basically white, he and his family have a privileged life, live in the suburbs, are educated and have high end white collar jobs. The whole freaking point of the show (which is well defined in the name, Black-ish) is that he feels that he is an Uncle Tom, pushing aside his black heritage, and tried unsuccessfully to be more "black"...he's unsuccessful because he likes the privileged life (and he was never quite as black as he fancied himself). So, he ends up in embarrassing situations where his need to be "black" interferes with his lifestyle. It's a freaking comedy.

Hatred? The only hatred there was something that you projected dude.

"I hate the whites." Well so do I being a black lesbian woman. Tomorrow who knows what I will be.

proof that humor is in the eye of the beholder, and perspective is everything.

It's pathetic how you have to fly towards "white evangelical christian to give your left-wing rant any substance.

The overt pandering -

(see my earlier comments about 'literally'- it's a message for those too lazy to think of a solution on their own)

to the racist element of the progressive movement is tiresome, you think you're being 'progressive' by making criminals who may (or may not) be politically different.

The words above do not 'hurt' they are used in the correct context and guess what? They were trolling YOU, the progressive who takes feeling over reasoning.

You may think it's 'progressive' programming and it's enlightened, but in reality it's divisive. That's my point. I drive a Subaru, does that mean I'm a lesbian or a liberal in your book?

This nation and it's society would be better served by people who have better objective reasoning skills instead of class warfare as motivators for action. No one is better served with the gasoline-on-the-fire approach progressive TV pump out.

Come back when you can build an argument that isn't based on a stupid generality. Over and out.

No his observation is "way out" and so is yours. Roseanne and Jimmy Kimmel say so.
Roseanne- "I'm still the same you all moved, you all went so far the FUK out you lost everybody." Kimmel "You're right by the way."

I didn't really comment on anything "socially Progressive". I briefly described the premise of the Roseanne show and how I felt it barely tolerable to watch. Now if your angry bias wants to read into that? Well that is your issue. I just hope you don't have access to any guns god knows what you might shoot up. That was my evangelical Christian coming out. Oops!

As for what Lesbos drive. Everyone knows lesbos drive pick up trucks. Fagz and tree huggerz drive Subaru's, and Priuses. But they don't drive the WRX or Cross Trek they are to masculine.


Taking a knee and black lives matter are as legitimate protests and movements as the Al Sharpton Tawana Brawley rape allegation. They are racist movements designed to deaminize white people and ratchet up the race issue. But the fact is black lives don't matter. That's why Planned Parent Hood kills 600,000 plus black babies every year. That's why the black community and Democratic Governments turn a blind eye to gang violence, the murder rate and failed schools in cities like Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia. There hasn't been a Republican Government in charge of one of those cities in decades. The 300 plus murder rate in each of those cities is primarily black on black. Not white on black or cop on black. Why isn't Kapernick speaking up about those atrocities? Yes, there are incidents that involve the police such as the kid with the cell phone and others. But those are few and far between when you look at the big picture of police involvement in black communities. Let me end that with overall I am no fan of the police. I think they are as corrupt as any government agency.

The one episode I watched wasn't a show about a black family. It is a show about a family that at least one member as best I can tell is mixed race (the wife). Of course all the blacks in the show are lite skinned indicating they all probably have some white blood. They are not African black. None looked Florida Evans from Good Times. But I digress. So the husband repeatedly stated to his wife that he didn't want them for dinner. That he "hated" the whites. He then went on a diatribe because one of the whites family members didn't take any mac and cheese. He went on a diatribe why blacks eat the food they eat. Because they had to eat the left over parts of animals during slavery. Ok, well this show takes place in 2018 are the blacks still forced to eat the left over parts or are they eating it freely, willingly? So what was the point in shaming the white guy because he wouldn't eat mac and cheese or soul food?

Now that I think about it further the husband in this show seems to represent everything you lefty- progressives disapprove of except he is black so his actions are ok. He was verbally and mentally abusive to his wife. Degraded her for something she had no control over (her whiteness) and was a racist (stated multiple times he hated the whites because they are white).

I don't own an AR. Yes I watch Fox. Oh and CNN and MSNBC, but mostly for the sit coms.

Jerry- if you want to be progressive I don't care. If you want to lick a dicksicle go right ahead that doesn't affect me. If you want to live a life of life of lies and pretend you are tolerant, accepting, peacefully and say "hate has no home here" go right ahead. But the hate that fills your heart and mind is all over your post. You are the quintessential BIGOT, you hate anyone who's view isn't lock step with yours. Just like OBama, Hillary, Creepy uncle Joe Biden, Pelosi, Moonbeam and the rest of the cartoon characters. They are so superficial it is disturbing some people can not see it. It makes one question some peoples critical thinking skills.

Let me close with this question to you. If blacks are justified in their dislike toward whites for their treatment through the years. Would a white kid that say grew up in a primarily black area that was bullied, beat up, called names and all around mistreated have a right to dislike or hate blacks? Maybe call them the N word or no?

[RANDY P]

Heck, I'd just be happy to see certain members of our society to at least wait until the results and all the facts of an investigation are in before burning looting and the squeals of 'wayciss!!' starts.

It's tiring dealing with the lack of reasoning people accept as normal these days.

Guess that means I'm a white evangelical christian.

BTW I'm NONE of those three.

Yeah, Black American culture will "Uncle Tom" anyone who strays too far from the victim-status schtick.

Some Black American achievement museum, in DC, intensionally left SCOTUS Justice Clarance Thomas out of their line-up of highly achieving Black Americans. But, otoh, that move was very representative of their Black American Uncle Tomming achievements

Quiz time: (Jerry, participate!! post your answer below!)

The 10 ton elephant in the room- black youth get mostly (over 70% of black homicides ) killed off by what category?

1)-cops
2)-santa claus
3)-White Porsche owners who frequent PARF
4)-other black youth (naaw, no way- they woudn't have a moment built around a lie like that, would they? )

sure glad we have a rational, well thought out Socially Progressive movement to address it!!

Man, I'm glad I don't go to PARF. This is a microcosm of why political discourse in the internet age is doomed.

Funny that you throw out a stereotype in a post to ridicule stereotypes.
