"It always annoyed me how black people revered the Cosby show."
Tue Sep-15-15 11:39 AM by Neez

  

          

I was discussing this with some people in real life.

IMO its basically our Seinfeld...something overrated but not for its quality but what it represented

When it came on nick at nite that was always my cue to turn the channel
I never laughed...not one time
Name any other black comedy and I bet you it was funnier

And people say...Oh it was the first black show to show people be successful!
I'm trying to find the right way to say this...
Why does successful automatically equal good morally or in quality

It wasn't like they were coonin on good times...making them have more money wouldn't automatically make it a better show

I want a variety of black representation, but how come whenever we do something we have to worry about how were portrayed?
