I'd like to know why there is no up roar about the shows "Black-ish" and "Orange is the New Black"¿
I've never watched either, but just seemed inappropriate considering all the racial tensions... j/s
I think you have to watch it to understand.
Blackish is about a black family and written and produced by black folks, telling it from the perspective of black people. There have always been shows about white families, written and produced by black folks, telling it from a perspective of white people.
So Blackish adds to the precedent by including a different perspective of someone that is not white.
The writing does not demean anyone and so the content of the show is what matters instead of the title.
With Orange is the new black, it refers to black as a fashion choice, not a race.
Blackish? Is that on BET?..
BTW, If a television station was to start called WET ( White Entertainment Television)
How do you think that would be accepted by the PC Police
That's pretty much my point.. There have more than several shows of black families without using a title that points it out. I could but I won't..
Green knows what I'm saying...
Oh, and again, I haven't watched them because its mindless "entertainment" ...
