Find your safe space, OP!
That’s what it is. As long as we were on the sidelines begging for the TV table scraps, we were fine people. You know...we were always good for being an extra or a friend of a friend. But being the protagonist is simply going too far for the OP.

But ya just can’t let them black folks get too big for their britches.

Look how triggered these conservatives got over Black Panther.

How depressingly 2018.

Hmmmmm.......


.............well, in a way, it isn't much different than the original. After all, a lot of the things that Darren did, his attitudes about what his wife would and would not do, him not believing her.............


................were very chauvinistic and wouldn't fly in today's world. Remember when he got tired of her being Queen of the Witches and insulted her in front of her subjects, for example?


Now, that said.......I will stick with my Belinda Montgomery, wait that's not right, ELIZABETH Montgomery DVDs, thank you.

Excellent example. Cruise is absolutely wrong for the part.

Don't fret, it's just a silly 60s comedy. Anyway, Black Female / White male marriages are one of the most enduring marriages there are, out of interracial pairings, so maybe it would be a good example

Because apparently- according to white SJW suburbanites born into privilege- blacks in America would STILL be in the bonds of slavery, Jim Crow, or living in mud huts in 2018 if NOT for the white heroes swooping in to rescue and speak for the( in the minds of SJW) poor, helpess, powerless, can't-speak-for-themselves, black Americans.
How condescending towards those you supposedly are " supporting"!
All the non whites I talk to are tired of being paraded around as virtue signalling props by a bunch of spoiled white do gooders to show off how " hip" , " tolerant" and " non racist" they supposedly are!

I award you NO Social Justice Warrior points and may God have mercy on what you call a soul!!!
For a society that is trying to be " colorblind" it seems EVERY thing is about " color"! Plus for every person who feels non whites can't do ANYTHING right, there are two who think that either:A- they do NO wrong, or b: can NEVER be criticized if they happen to do wrong. You SJW go around preaching how non whites are equal to or superior to whites, yet also feel they are incapable of ANYTHING without yourr heroic support; so which is it?????? Not to mention treating them as anything but regular folks just trying to live their lives like everyone else. We're ALL human beings just trying to live our lives
Speaking of those old 1970's shows, i was watching All in the Family and during the summer, they played 2 episodes, I had to rewind it to hear it again - they actually said the N word and said the whole word, not just "N-word" I thought wow.. you never hear that on tv nowadays.. not that i want to, but the fact that they actually said that word in the show was pretty strange. Archie said it and George Jefferson said it.

Today, we are not allowed to speak freely. We are censored by society, and government. Free speech, and the First Amendment should protect speech we do not like, support, nor use.

Funny to read the -- why would they do a reboot comments -- some of the biggest tv hits of the last year were reboots-- Roseanne, Will and Grace...LOL, That's why.

Gilmore Girls
Full House

Those three series were rebooted for Netflix and had huge success.

Some change the premise quite a bit -- Lost in Space -- others stick to the script.

Seriously the single black Mom was done with Julia -- that was a huge hit back in the day.

I don't see how it is PC. I don't see how anyone can care that much about it.

They should do a West Wing reboot -- LOLOLOLL
