Black-ish thinks African Americans are violent & out of control?


I like it when they point out the countless foibles in the black community. Granted it's always the painfully obvious foibles but at least it's better than ignoring the problems or even worse lying about it. Those episodes are actually funny as opposed to the whiny soapbox episodes which are cringe worthy.

I took as Andre and Bow had a ton of underlying issues stemming from their childhood that caused them to lash out in unhealthy ways.

They went out of their way to point out EVERY black person on the show had serious anger management problems. Yet once again white libs that NEVER interact with any black folks try to change the shows message. I'm beginning to think silly white libs are in more denial than the black community itself.

This show is the same show where Dre pulls out a literal black card and uses it. Every episode they do a self reflective thing on black culture.

I think the show was pointing out that blacks tend to have anger issues.

yes..and they didn't back away from it. My point is, if you have been watching this show regularly, every episode they confront a black community stereotype or reality.

Yeah, the part where Curtis flipped out on the janitor was funny,lol. Am I white? Yeah, and I enjoy the show very much.
