Art has and always will be criticsized and rightfully so

We have to continually go backwards and defend positive African American media.

We have to do this for damn near everything. Folks wanting to "cancel" MLK for cheating on his wife. Maybe an extreme example vs a TV show, but damn can anything just "be"?

Smh.

The very first episode kills this argument because Will accused Uncle Phil of being a sellout and he corrects him by saying he remembers where he came from. Will might have read The Autobiography of Malcolm X and had his poster on the wall, but Uncle Phil heard the brother speak. He read every word he wrote.

I don't get the criticism behind the Banks being Republicans. The story doesn't work without it. When the show starts, the Banks kids are either spoiled and/or sheltered. Uncle Phil is a lot more strict and concerned with his image. At the same time, Will is reckless, irresponsible, and needs to be straightened out. Everybody learns from each other and gets exposed to the other side of the world, the other side of life.

Calling the Banks c00ns invalidates everything that show was about.

"Uncle Phil was a black panther turn republican"
Uncle Phil raised fully black children, with his fully black wife and raise his fully black nephew while being Civil Rights Lawyer for black causes

"
- Jeffery was a slave that got boss around"

But Uncle Phil hired a black man who should have been fired as many times as he mouthed off to his boss but he stayed till the end and got a bonus and upgraded first class seat back to England. Would a white family have done it

"Carlton and Hilary was c00ns "

But they only dated black, how were they c00ns when they were both willing to marry black (hillary) and raise black children (carlton in that episode with Lark)? Plus Carlton had multiple wake up calls through out the series run and HIllary was never a c00n, just spoiled.

The crazy thing about the MLK ā€œcontroversyā€ is that Coretta spoke publicly that she NEVER BELIEVED Martin cheated on her. She wrote it in her book too.


So the WIFE comes out and says its bullshyt but everybody and they mama wanna just go ahead with the rumors and bullshyt:gucci:
