[Blue Highway]

This would be the position George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks were born to play, to bad they choose poorly and aren’t among the living.

[Skywise]

Can we reboot Good Times with a white family?

The Jeffersons?

How about Blackish?

[Gay State Conservative]

Black...white...blue...green...couldn’t care less.

[MinorityRepublican]

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.

[Wilderness Conservative]

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

[Right Brigade]

GTMA!

[MinorityRepublican]

That skit was made 20 years ago. No way that he would had made it today.

[con-surf-ative]

The Cosby Show was great in its day. But that is why they went after Cosby so hard on the sex abuse charges. He was acting too white.

[GOYAKLA]

Will Bill Cosby be hired as a Consultant?

[adorno]

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.

[P-Marlowe]

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

[Sans-Culotte]

Will it be called “Good Times”?

[Publius]

Next a black man playing Alexander Hamilton.

Whoops! Already done that.

[shelterguy]

Chapelle did some hilarious stuff back then. If a white guy did the same thing cities would burn.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Just invert the luminance and bring back All in the Family.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just invert the luminance and bring back All in the Family.

Already been done. Sort of.

“In Living Color”
Men on Film
Damon Wayans
David Alan Grier...
with teenagers!

[Vision]

This is cultural appropriation.

[nonliberal]

The father gets arrested for selling crack, the mother has 6 kids by 6 guys and is on welfare and Jamal got new shoes by looting a Foot Locker.

Remember when Ellen Generes had a sitcom where she ran a bookstore and had zany plots and witty banter with her kooky cast of co-workers? And then she announced she was gay and all of a sudden every show was a screed on gay rights. Like 'what if everyone in the world were gay and YOU were the one everyone said was weird because you were straight? Let's show you.' Long on lectures, short on laughs and totally void of fun.

I get the feel this is going to be that. Lots of 'they just wanted to buy a car but nobody would talk to them' moments coming your way.
