Be honest, though. Don't a lot of black people (especially in the hood) feels the exact same way that white man does?

The fact that he hated on Boomerang and thought it was unrealistic while loving 48 Hrs. is wild.
48 Hrs. has a completely ridiculous, impossible premise (of a felon being allowed out of prison to pretty much become a fake cop for 48 hours), but nah, having a Black-run company without prominent White people is where we need to draw the line on believability.
I guess it was the fact that Eddie played a convicted felon who goes back to prison at the end of the movie which made it okay for him. Oh, and the fact that Nick Nolte gets to use the n-word and all sorts of other racism without consequences throughout the movie, yet is still the hero of the film at the end.

Why was the makeup of "The Cosby Family" unrealistic to some Black American's, African-American's, but not to others?
Answer (1 of 5): Cosby Family was unrealistic to done and real to others because of individual backgrounds. Most people at least high school educated, middle class, and above would find the Huxstables real. However, Black people from lower socioeconomic rungs would find Cosbys really unrealistic....

I remember back in the '80s, they actually interviewed some Black people on the news who were all like "The Cosby Show aint real. . yadda yadda yadda"
Like seriously, the media would go out of there way to find Black folks to say shyt like that.
It was a thing,
It always drove my moms up the wall because she was grew up in a family that was similar to the Cosbys.
Harlem Nights was white people's worst nightmare when black folks got ON CODE and took down the all-powerful white mob.

I was too young at the time to support this movie Eddie is a Gem. Life is my favorite movie from him just because of the realism mixed into the comedy seems to be the only way white media will accept themselves as the villain
