Why isnt Martin considered a "new black" or "c00n" show?

[Sk3ptical]

this is also a comedy show.

a bunch of lame cacs in black faces

Y'all keep acting like Martin is the pinnacle of black television achievement, and the "GOAT siticom" but Im surprised the show hasnt raised y'all ire given the coli militant standards, and yall collective ability to turn everything into degradation of the black race:

The central character is Martin, who is unserious, unfocused, unintelligent and lives so far off on the economic margins that he can only afford a modest apt in a low income area of detroit, which could be a housing project if you look at the building and those who live there hard enough.

Martin, of course, plays a host of characters who are all dumber than the next. One is a female named 'Sheneneh' (black male emasculation? gay agenda?), who seems to be written with the sole intent of maxing out on every bad black woman stereotype ever invented.

His two best friends are Cole and Tommy. The former is a barely functioning retard, and the latter is best known for not having a job.

Martin's girlfriend is Gina, who enjoyed the best written character on the show. She's extremely bright, and the only one thats clearly college educated. She's successful, not promiscuous, logical, the emotional and moral anchor in almost every situation, and always the voice of reason amongst a sea of idiots. And also not so coincidentally she was the lightest person on the show --- her skin so light in fact she was practically racially ambiguous.

Pam is Gina's best friend. Her character isnt too offensive, but she was clearly written to serve as Gina's inferior and chosen as Martin's foil for a reason. She gets by on her sex appeal and little else --- certainly not her integrity, which is always painted as being low to non-existent.

The rest of the show is filled out by a motley crew of aimless low lifes --- bruh man? hustle man? Stan, the station manager at WZUP????

I know its just a show designed for jokes, but logic like that hasnt stopped ya'll before. What gives?

I think the show was funny, and still is. I will probably always watch it, but I can't front like you didnt make a great case with really good points.

It would be nice if people properly and correctly defined c00n and new black around here for a change.

c00n - anyone who disagrees with a point I'm trying to make.
New Black - see definition of "c00n"

[AAKing23]

Breh I had to neg you for this, da fukk is wrong with you nikkas?

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

Breh did you just quote yourself twice then respond to yourself?

c00n - anyone who disagrees with a point I'm trying to make.
New Black - see definition of "c00n"

Didnt you make the same thread through. You disagree w/ the majority so does that make you a c00n?

I never saw an issue with the show. Yea it was pretty ignorant at times but it was funny as hell. Cosby Show was a better show overall but yall cant tell me yall laughed at that more than Martin.

I don't even see how c00ning comes into the equation when the audience was black

White people hated Martin Lawrence back then. You gotta respect a man who made a show his way, got huge ratings from a black audience, and forced his way into mainstream America. Dude hosted SNL and got banned from NBC for saying what he wanted. That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of c00ning.

I always thought OP was a troll, he spit the real doe.

I thought the exact same.

Same thing goes for other black sitcoms too... The only one that was somehwat black excellence was the jeffersons

Get yo hating ass on,Martin is a classic

 

[letti cook]

Have you met a white person that liked Martin? I have never in my 30 plus years of life. Dont lie and say you have some cac buddy who loved Martin. That comedy is lost on them.

 

[OneManGang]

OP used COLI logic to critique Martin, successfully showing how fukking bizarre COLI logic can be sometimes
A lot of

in here

This thread should be bookmarked to bring up in future threads to compare the shifts in COLI logic to certain issues.
