Black actors deserve better than remakes and reboots of old shows and movies.

I’m just glad that I don’t watch tv.

What the entertainment world does not understand is that just because it is a black show or just because it is a white show is not the reason for success.

Most of the shows, both black and white, have been horrible, unwatchable, nonsensical and just plain bad.

Get some new talent in the Producing, Directing and most important Writing field...then we’ll talk.

This one sounds like a loser to me.

I agree! So many of them have a fantastic stage presence.

There’s a skit from the Dave Chappelle show about a white family named the N-word (It was spelled differently than the offensive term). The family employed all the mannerisms of your stereotypical black person. I literally died watching it.

If Fred Savage is part of it does that mean Marilyn Manson gets to return too?

What’s sad is that I grew up watching and loving all kinds of black entertainment, all on my own. All of this racism nonsense has us going backwards now, and it’s of Satan because there is no redemption in it. Just wrath and resentment, which only the Lord Jesus can save a man from.

Joseph was a REAL slave, treated unjustly. He was certainly a typology of Christ, but he was also a witness of how a man who knew God could come up roses and be a blessing even to those that spitefully a used him (his brothers, Potiphar’s wife, etc.)!

I’m sure there will be lots of SJW “teachable moments”.

Would it be terrible to call this a reboot of “Good Times”?

Dynomite!

We went from Winnie to Washanda now?

Best black show in my opinion was Family Matters. Loved it.

Can we reboot Good Times with a white family?

The Jeffersons?

How about Blackish?

They can do whatever they want but don’t use the name “The Wonder Years”. They need to try to be just a little bit original lol.

A remake of The Beverly Hillbillies with the Clampets as a black family would get much higher ratings.

Next: a black man playing superman.

Then: a black playing George Washington

Pelosi will be played by AOC in an upcoming made-for-TV movie.

I’m not being racist; just observing the madness that’s taking hold in America.

It will probably be a reboot of Amos and Andy as gay transvestites with adopted non gender specific children.
