Yeah, I know it’s Bill Cosby, but the great thing about The Cosby Show was that it portrayed a successful black family without having to make a big deal out of their skin color.
They make a big deal about the color by its very name. It’s a show I won’t watch. We’re supposed to be post-racial now yet every damned show that comes out of Hollywood has to have at least one bay, a black person or two (preferably with a white partner), and Asian and that odd white dumbass honky....
I’m done with all that crap. It isn’t real life by any shape or form and it’s nothing but social brainwashing from a bunch of elitists who wouldn’t know real America if it bit them on the ass.
HBO did a series a few years ago—The Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency based on the series of mystery books. It is set in Botswana. Except for a few Indian characters, an all-Black cast (American, British and African black actors). But because race wasn’t a factor in any of the stories, the color of the actors soon faded away. It was the story and the characters that became the focus. Africa and Botswana are central to the stories, so the characters have to be African, but “blackness” isn’t that important. Anyway a good series to check out.
