On Sunday nights at 7:59, my neighbor would come outside and yell "Martin's about to come on" and the whole hood would run in the house

Martin was definitely a hood show. Not all hoods are constant violence, ducking and dodging bullets and knives all day/night

Fox only signed shows to revenue grab from the black community.
that would be deemed small budget indie. Or what would be misappropriated to be known now. as A hood film.

Yet america used the fox revenue grab the black community model.
to hold them afloat and completely misappropriate. Then get mad about the succes they reaped from it. Then internalize and weaponize this agenda.
into fox news and maga.
Now here we are.

I think "hood adjacent" is about right.
