10/6/2017 5 Great Reasons Every Black Person & Every White Person With Black Friends Should Watch BlackishRead Now I finally got to watch the season 4 premiere of Blackish! Blackish is one of those rare jewels thats a family comedy that is not only humourous with the writer's well crafted punch line dialogue, but it's a show that enlightens us with a very personal and accurate reflection of black culture and the upper class black family dynamics. in modern society.
Some have dubbed Blackish the title of the modern day Cosby Show and I totally agree...but its like the Cosby Show remix. Blackish is a show I hope that is around for years because it accurately displays the "ugly truths" that a large portion of our black community face daily. On the season premiere Dre protests the twins Thanksgiving play for nor telling tbe real truth about Christopher Columbus. The protest was a catalyst for a lot of soul searching and inner conflict as Dre began to question why his family celebrated traditional holidays but did not celebrate black holidays such as Juneteenth. This episode was one of the best so far. From the moment Dre attempted to explain the significance of celebrating Juneteenth to his white co-workers, to the School House Rock themed educational cartoon featuring The Roots....this whole episode was "Lit" as the younger generation would say. Here are my Top 5 reasons Why Everyone Should Watch Blackish: 5. Its about an upper middle class African American family....I'm tuning in just because like Issa said, "Im rooting for everybody black!" 4.. It educates all of our culturally ignorant Anglo Saxon associates and friends-This show literally explains everything every black person has wanted to say to all of their white co-workers and friends but refused to...because let's face it; awkward silences are uncomfortable in real life. 3.Lawrence Fishburne and Jennifer Lewis play the roles of the grandparents- there is nothing left to be said. on that if you haver watched a black romantic comedy or the Matrix you know these two are Black Hollywood Royalty. 2. We love watching the Johnson's take on life changing events thats make nationwide headlines (You have to watch the election episode...pure comedy!)
Blackish is a show you have to check out...I promise you won't be disappointed. Watch on ABC on Tuesdays at 8 CST time! XOXO, Krystale Jane'l
