I'm just askin'...each person can clarify their answer...

I define a c00n as having the "Sambo" personality; they cater to whites, they implicitly or explicitly showcase their love of white culture or just pleasing whites..making them smile or laugh while demeaning their own personal character or their race. They decrease their intellect, personality and masculinity when in the presence of white people; If by that definition, we go back to Sanford and Son, the first authentic black show on a major network in 1972 to 2013, I would have to say yes, we have some examples of "c00n" tv. Sanford doesn't fall into this category, but Flip Wilson, some parts of Good Times and a few others qualify. But the majority comes in the 1990s with the UPN lineup and some of the WB with that racist fukking frog (sidenote: notice that they ditched the frog when the black shows were cancelled and the white shows took over). But yea, in terms of black television particularly, there wer some that displayed Sambo characteristics.

There were the powerful ones that did not cater to sambo behavior: Sanford, Cosby Show, Family Matters (Urkel was goofy, but he was intelligent, moral, and dedicated/upstanding to his family and friends and the show was great for displaying the black middle class), and a few others. So in conclusion, there were some on both sides of the spectrums; however, there was a lot of gray area. That's just my opinion.

Add Dave Chappelle to the list of nikkas who c00ned it up but get a pass to these cacs and fellow c00ns on here.
Dave felt bad about what he did, but his show most of the time wasn't c00ning and all black people knew that shyt. Dave highlighted negative aspect of blacks on some let's laugh at ourselves shyt with a lot of gems sprinkled īn throughout the show, but white people fukked it up degenerating it to "I'm Rich bytch!" and saying "******" being funny.

I watched Martin my entire childhood and enjoyed it back when I had no idea what the fukk white supremacy, "c00ning" and sambo was, so I was able to enjoy for the entertainment value. as an adult, I can't watch a single episode without noticing how fukked up the dynamics of the show were. Cole AND his girlfriend were both fukking dumb, something I used to laugh at, but now it's just hard to watch.

That show is fukked up on so many levels that it's ridiculous, and it's not the only show from that era that's fukked up.

:wow::wow:
