these blatant, hackneyed caricatures of black people had me like.... :comeon::mjlol::stopitslime:

the blatant jabs at the black community for its supposed homophobia :lolbron:

"too much homophobia in the black community" - gay son

... lee daniels didn't even attempt to be subtle :what:


the son with the gaudy earrings and corny lyrics looking like a modern blackface impression :why:


the father having a condition (ALS) in which 94% of those affected are whites :skip:


the depiction of taraji's character is a confrontational black woman :wtb:... she's still sexy, though:jawalrus:



all in all, a white person could've made a television show with less demeaning caricatures of black people (e.g. - fresh prince) :trash::trash::trash:

it's a sad state of affairs when blacks with creative control (e.g. - tyler perry) are subjecting us to such fukkery
:snoop:

I think the show might be done by white people other than timbaland doing the music portion. The show is good to me and a lot of people are cool with it.
