White Men Can’t Jump is getting back into the game.

Kenya Barris, the creator of ABC’s acclaimed comedy Black-ish, is teaming with Blake Griffin of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and Ryan Kalil of the NFL's Carolina Panthers to develop a remake of the 1992 sports comedy for 20th Century Fox.

Barris will write the script for the project, which falls under his overall film deal with Fox that he signed in September. Barris also will act as a producer.

How about a movie about hockey, “Black Men Can’t Skate”

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And here, I’ve been fearing a “re-boot” of The Maltese Falcon.

It’s certainly showing no ability to have an original idea!

The original movie is only 25 years old!

“Black Men Can’t Marry Their Baby Mamas”

That show should be canceled; it’s nothing but a litany of neo-leftist racial stereotypes.

How about a movie about hockey, “Black Men Can’t Skate”

Exactly.I,for one,can't jump to save my life.I don't have the first clue of whether or not I'm typical of white guys on that score.OTOH,I'm pretty good (but far from perfect) at spelling.I may,or may not,be typical of white guys on that subject.I would,however,like to see what would happen if someone made a film called "Black Guys Can't Spell"
