To: MeshugeMikey
As long as the white characters can use the word, I’m fine with it.

this is quite the dilemma for some people.

I think a cultural upgrade MIGHT be in order

A child who’s allowed to cross the street will sometimes turn around and mercilessly taunt another child who can’t cross the street yet.
That’s all this is: childish taunting. “Nya-nya, I can say ‘n******’ and you can’t.” Lording it over the white boys.

Most politically incorrect show on TV since Archie Bunker. I think the only group they haven’t attacked are the Jews.
His show wife Cookie makes the show.

I agree. I NEVER thought I would like such a show. I decided after 3rd episode and it became the number 1 show of the year with close to 20 million viewers, I thought what the heck. So I watched it on demand and it is pretty good. Cookie is a trip and a half.

Whoa, never though guys on FR was say that, ever, it must be something for anyone on here to watch it, I thought it was about some show glorifying ghetto culture.
To: the_individual2014
It does glorify ghetto culture....lol. I like it. I find it really good and funny at the same time. I am conservative in politics and social issues in real life, but with Fictional Hollywood I am pretty liberal........I will watch anything if I enjoy it. I have said that many times here. I am an adult and make decisions on TV shows on my own without any outside influences. Sorry but that is just the way it is.

The only thing I don’t like is they gave Lucious ALS. So what happens if the show lasts more than 3-5 seasons?

Me too....I hate that. I was thinking the same thing about number of seasons. However, I don’t think Fox thought it would be the hit it became and maybe they thought they could maybe get 2 seasons out of it....now they are stuck. It will be interesting to see what they do.
