"In Living Color" was exposing "sellouts" 25 years ago...amazing what they got away with

I think it was Fox trying to fukk the Wayans out of money. Basically were trying to stop them from going into syndication at the time so they were playing repeats instead of letting them have new episodes during the fourth season when it actually aired. I think all the Wayan's officially dipped after that season.

Yeah my jump the shark moment was when Damon left the show, he was my favorite cast member

"Why do you say 'we' caucasoid?"

I actually just watched that one before I made this thread.

I had to replay it 3 times just to appreciate the genius of the detail.

As a kid I never understood it.

yo this writing is magnificent!!

This is the shyt I was raised on. In Living Color, Ice Cube True to the Game video, Drop Squad, Spike Lee movies shyt even Carlton from Fresh Prince.

I had white friends but I knew being a "sellout" was the worst thing a black person could be...

Good point as far as many black shows/movies PUSHED true black pride in the sense. Now the shyt is so fake and bourgeois if it's in black media because they revolve it around "uppity" negroes. 90's incorporated ALL blacks.

Yeah. But rewatching it, Greer doesn't say the line. That's why I'm curious if they do a lot of re edits
