Man, this a cop-out.
I could somewhat understand her catching these types of feelings if the show was running live episodes NOW, although I would’ve said the same thing about not having what she perceives as negativity towards black women in her life, and avoiding the show altogether if she couldn’t handle it.
However, crying about a show that came out a whole generation ago is asinine. That’s like gay people getting mad at Eddie Murphy now for joking about “faggots” in his stand-up movie Delirious, despite the fact that it came out in 1983. No one’s condemning Eddie for that, not even gay men. They just sucked it up to that specific point in time.
Nah. No one would tell them it’s ok to be in their feelings about it. They’d say, “just don’t watch that shit, and that shouldn’t offend you. That was a whole different time.”
But not here. Here is non-stop coddling and validating this, probably because y’all see her as an attractive black woman.
I can do give-and-take when it seems reasonable. This is NOT reasonable, and you know it.
Next thing you know, she (or other dark colored women) will be raging at Spike Lee for School Daze or some shit.
