For once i agree with a tweet.

A 90s cac aint watching martin or jamie foxx and understanding half of the references.

But a 2020 cac probably understands insecure better than i do

Insecure is watched by something like 60% white people and it's pretty much just black twitter on film

What successful black show didn’t have white following?

I havent met a single cac who watched martin growing up

I havent met a single cac who watched jamie Foxx growing up


Fresh prince, Cosby, family matters sure, but those were family shows. Non family black shows were not watched by cacs like that

Living single. I’m yet to meet a non black person who remembers that show

I think Martin, The Wayans Brothers, The Jamie Foxx Show, and Living Single. I don't remember hearing any white people talking about it when they were airing and even today.

It's black twitter on screen. 30/60 minutes of "Black people be like..."

Living Single was successful? Ok...

I’m waiting on black shows where black men are men

I nor anyone in my family has cleaned meat with citrus. My uncle does pretty much infuse his ribs with vinegar. Whenever I find out that he's on rib duty at the bbq I'm like

It goes back to the"do you wash your chicken" question

Alotta Islanders (and by proxy East Coasters) think vinegar, lime, and/or lemon juice cleans bacteria off of their meat. It doesn't.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

"Blackish" is about as Black as the Brady Bunch to me

 

[Elle Driver]

I thought black folks used vinegar?

Living Single was successful? Ok...

So you don't think a show that ran for 5 years and is currently in syndication on several national networks wasn't successful?

Tell us then, what's your definition of a "successful" show, since obviously the networks that run this show and rely on their viewership to put food on their tables are dumb. enlighten us
