This “Good Times” remake is disrespectful as fukk smh pure minstrel show

[HarlemHottie]

This shows the upper middle class and wealthy black folks need more representation culturally in media.
Even someone that grew up a millionaire is making content that in no way reflects his background.

This is why i loved the cosby show. Not everybody came from nothing, and we don't have to pretend like that doesn't happen

That's your takeaway? Really?! What about regular bp being maligned?

They are literally putting these half and halves in everything b/c they are more passive, less aggressive and believes align more with their other half than our own.

Steph ain't biracial.

Yeah the layers of corniess goes in such forms of generations:

• Gen X- Patronizing shuck and jive babble
• Millennials- Whiny "IM BLACK" corny tropes without making the shyt funny
• Gen Z- "Guize we are allys but fight oppression, yet let me PAWG in peace, but fukk them colonizers" propaganda

Man, we really took Mcgruder, Lee, and Robin Townsend for granted

Boomers: "Segregation was good!"

Maybe i didn't make my point clearly enough, but I am talking about regular black people. We need to actually be represented, instead of people always wanting do buffoonery every time there is a show about us. I don't relate to the orange juice concentrate joke,

Point taken but what I said still holds true. How the fukk Steph have his name attached to this though? Not only that he the Executive Producer...

Between this and TD: Night Country, I hope slapping good franchise names on ass products isn't the new trend.

I don’t know what’s worse, the c00ns in here talking about “DiZ iZ da STuFF y’aLl be WaTcHinG doe!” Or the trailer itself.

This is not akin to Power or any other crime drama. Newsflash, the most popular “white” shows are based on crime, drama, and the like. I guess only black people arent allowed to make that type of entertainment.

This show is minstrelsy. From the lingo to the stereotypes to the Bunny Ruckus blonde wig, it’s straight up awful. When your defense is “it’s only a 2 minute trailer” you know it’s some nonsense. This is absolutely nothing like Good Times.

This is so bad it literally looks like a show Riley would be watching on The Boondocks.

Rep!

Are you suggesting the majority black people live below the poverty line?, Thats not accurate. Middle class and upper middle are the majority, aka Regular Black folk. This isn't a reach. I don't consider impoverished black folks to represent normal black people. It's a niche, that is promoted as the norm.
