@michaelharriot Can Black Twitter ever actually wait for a movie to come out before coming up with thick pieces.
@michaelharriot Actors like Rolle and Amos made that show a beloved classic and pushed back against racist stereotypes of black Americans. The show was about family and despite making through hardships the love and support was the over all theme. This new show is minstrel
@michaelharriot Now they have Black writers do the exact same thing?
@michaelharriot It was and the new one is worse.
@michaelharriot Because it was, Norman Lear stole the idea from a black writer and added more stereotypes and ultimately it was why John Amos left
@michaelharriot Show me an “irreverent”remake of “Friends, Seinfeld, The Partridge Family, All in the Family, Two Men & a Boy, Who’s the Boss, Family Ties, Facts of Life, Lucy, Mash, Cheers, Baywatch, Mama’s Family…as the promo words used for this BS is. I’ll wait…
@michaelharriot Good times? Then, now and how? Severe econ disparities that create subpar housing isn’t humorous. Doesn’t matter who actors were then or voices used now. @netflix exec laughing all the way to the bank #notfunny #calltoprotest
