Do y'all agree with this statement about current Black TV shows?

I ain't never seen nobody clean some damn chicken with citrus.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Black sitcoms nowadays are just coddling to the white masses, while failing to go over the common "stereotypes" that makes us proud to be black. It's almost as if it's shameful to desire our own lane without making us look as harmless as kittens. It's just a simple ploy to eliminate our inner strength so we can be receptive of being slaves to a new system that's coming into place.

Carribean folks do, mostly Haitian from what I've witnessed.

The funny things most of those Black shows you all pine over and fetishized in the 90s were top 5 shows in their timeslots. In other words white people watch them too, if not for the same reasons we did.

 

[Ol’Otis]

The culture is watered down
So therefore the shows are watered down

 

[Ya?]

I genuinely can’t think of a positive BW show I analyze black women portrayal in entertainment an d98% of it is for the birds.
So if I am missing something please share. I am genuinely asking not being facetious. I am very selective with my entertainment.

Word name 1 show and tell me what the negative aspect towards Black women was

 

[Yinny]

Lena Waithe comes to mind
Oprah
Ava DuVernay

They and Shonda Rhimes are creators who tell stories they relate to and that interest them.

Tyler Perry, Lee Daniels, Kenya Barris and Donald Glover are Black writers/show creators.

Well I did ask you first, so don’t you think it’s on you to present these numerous positive BW centered Black shows.
