Anyone watch this show? The creator sounded like an “everything is racist” type but I’ve had some people tell me that a few times some good points were made
From what I recall, the main character is a full-on black power advocate, but he's also shown to be ridiculous and/or wrong. A lot. And he's also shown to have enough other endearing qualities that you don't hate him for being an idiot.
Y'know, from the days back when writing was decent, and a show with strong messaging could still manage to have humility.
Of course, I'd probably be turned off by it entirely if I tried watching it again today, knowing what I now know about most of these types of writers. I have zero patience for it and give zero benefit of the doubt at this point, sadly.
I found it incredibly difficult to watch now. As I just kept wondering what messaging was intended, and which were forced upon the authors by outside influences.
It is interesting to note that Aaron McGruder is absent for the fourth season, and the final currently aired episode was written by Rodney Barnes instead.
