It's ok to shoot down anything because you dislike it or it's racist or it's anti-gay or whatever floats your boat. But unless I have a very different TV, they all come with channel selectors and an off switch. Whats the big deal. I don't care if the entire cast are blatant racists. I watch the show because it entertains me, not because I'm trying to find something in the show thats so profound it will change my life. All TV is meant to only be entertaining. You don't have to believe a word of anything you hear or see...

I agree totally. I don't think that Seinfeld is racist. For that matter, is "Friends" racist because it shows a lack of racial diversity? Seinfeld shows a lot of different races, they just don't like how they are portrayed on the show. If you don't like it, click it off.

The focus appears to always be on whether predominantly white shows are racist, but no one questions predominantly black shows and how BLATANTLY racist they are. As much or imo, MORE than "white" shows. For instance white characters are usually idiots on black shows. At the very least social misanthropes. This could NEVER happen with a person of color on a "white" show.

I'm sick of racism, but so long as we tolerate it on ANY shows, either black, white or purple then we will have it. Simplistic? yes. but so's the solution. NO - ZERO tolerance of racism should be the goal of the entertainment industry.

And btw, I think that's one of the reasons I like Ally McBeal. Her costar is a black woman who is sexy savvy and totally her friend. MORE SHOWS WITH PEOPLE, NOT RACE. JUST PEOPLE in all their glory.

Sure. Anyone remember the moronic white cop on "Sanford & Son"? Howbout the eccentric and dim white Mr. Bentley on "The Jeffersons"? [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

	I loved both of those shows, but never thought about the charac-
	ters in the way you mentioned.  You are correct, but the shows
	were still hilarious!  But Sanford and Son also had a black guy
	that was a moron (Grady) and a black guy that was a whino (can't
	remember his name but he was Aunt Esther's husband and I believe
	may have also played the role of Ned the Whino on Good Times).
	As for the Jeffersons, the laundramat assistant was that dork
	Marvin or whatever his name was... borderline retard.  He also
	had a role in White Men Can't Jump.  So... dim-wittedness and
	stupidity weren't exactly reserved for white guys on those
	shows...

Imagine if there was ever a movie with the title "Black men can't...." fill in anything you want. What a stink that would be! Just another case of double standards.
