If this was the year 2000, then maybe it might've been patronizing.
But, (in 2014) its a slightly cute, mostly cliche primetime sitcom on ABC.
Ofcourse, the children act indifferent.
They don't need to care. Its not their faults. They were born too late.
Ofcourse, the father begrudgingly accomodates White America.
How else can he afford the suburban lifestyle for his upper-middle class family?

Honestly, I'm still not sure how I feel about this show.
I used to watch re-runs of Good Times, which was written by White people.

Kids today think The Cosby Show is corny (and boring).

Yeah, I get it: Why we gotta be "Black-ish"?
Why do we have to (still) say "keepin it real" (in 2014)?

People of Okayplayer: you will not see Nat Turner on ABC/NBC/CBS.
Just be glad they played a Dead Prez song.
Or don't.
