Well, this is a couch, n I get that. But this is a love seat, does that mean I have to be in love to sit on it?

Tommy was a male stripper

 

[SC kid]

^^^^^naaw they thought he was but it was a charity fashion show lol.





I think he was involved in a lil bit of everything.

Like wen they went skiing and at da end he told dat white girl "youre gonna work for me"

And also he also played tommy smalls in harlem nights...no job hustler ...coulda been a continuation of dat character.

Cant explain the car tho

I hate the way they portrayed Tommy as DD. Take the most refined, sophisticated and well to do character on the show and allude to him being a DD.



When I was younger it didn't bother me, but Martin is based around and reinforces SOOOO many negative black stereotypes.

It does but I assume it was deemed acceptable because it's a comedy....that's one of the few times stereotypes are pretty much accepted, a "lighthearted" spin on a usually negative topic. I didn't realize it myself until I got older also.

Right... but its not just Tommy... it's pretty much every character in the show.

All the characters Martin played on the show were racist depictions

Jerome the Pimp

Roscoe the bad *** little kid

Bob the redneck

King Beef the shucker and jiver

Shanaynay the ratchet with the cartoonishly large butt


Im sure we all remember the episode where martin blows all his money on some Jordan Xs

I used to love the show, but as I grew older I realized that it does nothing but paint an ugly caricature of black culture in America.


Heres a good read if you get a chance:

Good read. I definitely see where your coming from and for the most part I agree. And the shows that are in the complete opposite direction or find a good middle ground are few and far in-between. I'd kill to see a modern day show similar to "A Different World" or "The Cosby Show". Most black sitcoms today are Tyler Perry creations which isn't really my thing.
