Would have been nice if Aaron McGruder or the Hudlin brothers were involved, but they may not have had the star power of Seth McFarlane to get this launched. inb4 "Damn, damn, damn!" --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:979590922] in Netflix's ...

Baron_Ox 03/28/24 5:03:41 PM #43:	I think with JJ, it was more of a gray area. like, he was one of the first comic relief black characters that wasn't necessarily meant to be mean-natured. I think it's more the catch-phrase that brought him over the top...but unfortunately, sitcoms were all about that kind of stuff for decades. but let's say you took him out of the equation, the rest of the characters were grounded, so I don't wanna say it was racist in general. edit: also, the show was created by two black men, but idk how involved they were throughout. --- "I could never encapsulate all my cosmicality on my own." - mr.

As someone who's seen the show plenty of times through the years (family loves it), I'd love to hear what's so racist about it. Granted, JJ's character definitely went into very stereotypical direction as the show went on, but even he went through character growth. The show wasn't perfect by any means, but I never got a feeling of racism. And this show seems like it was only going for brand recognition with the name. This genuinely looks awful.
