You probably right.
but i would love to see a show about a black family that is doing alright. Not everything gotta be some struggle trauma porn
Middle/ upper class nikkas should stop complaining and get to work, then, shouldn't they? I thought that was the point of accruing all those degrees and resources, no?

I think I just figured out why no one thinks of them though. Because they functionally don't exist. The upper class of other groups don't complain about what they want to see, they put money and effort on it. All this, "I wish they would..." is how broke people talk.

I hate to say it, but the original Good Times devolved into a minstrel show as well, focusing on JJs character buffoonery. It was like what happened with Family Matters and Steve Urkkel.That's why the late Esther Rolle quit the show.

Cacs (i.e small hats) like Norman Lear shouldn't be allowed to twist Black people's narratives, period.

Why do they even see it fit to do such and insert themselves into cultures they know little about..Black directors and producers generally want to tell Black stories, no one elses.

I'm sorry but cacs don't have the background and sensitivity to handle Black themes without being racist and offensive :camby:
