Was the show Martin really colorist?

[hatealot]

Lightskinned women get more positive looks.


(<---) this guy right here has a video where he talks about colorism and how ugly he thought he was. It's very sad. Look it up on youtube.

 

[The_Sheff]

Umm yeah... How. Many shows can you name where the dark one is the wife/main character and the light skinned one is the sidekick and the butt of all the jokes?

Fresh Prince
Cosby Show
227

And Pam only got roasted by Martin and it was usually about her hair. Pretty much every other guy on the show treated Pam like she was the catch.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Martin went at Pam solely because he was influenced by how Esther and Fred went at each other

Nothing more nothing less

 

[god shamgod]

Gina always was more attractive than pam to me but it was a lot of “jokes” suggesting Pam was some unattractive woman

 

[ISO]

No.

Martin also had more brown and dark skin reputation than these shows be having today.

Also everyone knew Pam was attractive she pulled nikkas, cleaned up nice on the show, believe they called her juicy booty, the jokes was just that jokes. The truth is also that even though Martin was with Gina he had a thing for Pam. Hence the jokes and the dream episode.

The people who say Martin was colorist clearly don't know that Martin and Tichina Arnold were dating IRL during the first 2½-3 seasons of the show.

Their relationship was kinda low profile.

Hence why in the stock photos of the Martin cast Tichina can be see holding Martin the same way a woman holds her boyfriend/husband when they're taking photos together.

Martin didn't start feeling for Tisha, romantically, until the 4th season.

I know y'all are referring to their respective characters but there's no way for Martin to be colorist on the show towards Pam when he was dating her IRL behind the scenes for most of the show's running.

Martin literally played another character on the damn show that was always lusting after Pam.



Mfers really be making something out of nothing.

The jokes made Pam sound like a disgusting dirty dog. Of course it was colorist af. Gina only got roasted for her head never roasted for being ugly. Pam’s Martin jokes were way more on base then vice versa

So they never clowned Gina for her lack of hips or her muscular ass?

No need to lie now

man that's a bunch new black twitter garbage

let me know when they make a show that's enjoyable

Exactly Martin played a character that spent the entire show trying to fukk Pam lol.

“I remember that dress, the last time she wore it, I got a raise”

Martin always had sly comments about how fine Pam was. Always snuck a peak at her body, especially her a$$.

Cole was fiendin for Pam all throughout season 1, and then obviously Tommy.

Pam was far from the being the butt of the jokes on the show

 

[Mindfield333]

Why are people rewriting history, saying Martin was a colorist show. Because he and Pam, used to go at it. Both Martin, and Pam had heat for each other. Plus Pam was alway said to be attractive, and Gina gotten most of the jokes about her skin color.

Because Gen z just started watching Martin for the first time with Overly sensitive eyes. Plus Pam was fine as hell. Finer than Gina to me… especially now

Which characters in Fresh Prince are you talking about?

I didn’t watch 227, but I don't recall The Cosby show having a dark skin female lead and a light skinned sidekick

People would be crazy to say that proffesionally speaking. Especially when you look at alot of the women he cast as his love interest in his films.

Spoiler

Out of all people,its tough to say he has a colorist track record unlike some people(Dwayne The Brown Paper Bag Test Johnson)

 

[Billie Jean]

Listen mang

I ain't never cancelling this show
