I have enough brain-rot in my life already. If I need a fix that bad, I can go on-campus or to my parents' house. And there's always reruns. S**t, I've survived 20 years without a TV in my room, I'll make it a few more. smh...

I got what he was trying to communicate. The problem to me is how he goes about it for a show that airs at 11pm on a Sunday with a majority young white audience. Although we may get it there are people in this country where this is their only exposure to black folk and i don't think they will. They probably will interpret it as how things are for our culture as a whole instead McGruder pointing out one small facet of everything. Think about it... (especially those who have been up on the strip for the last 6+ years such as myself). In this show do you sense an overall positive portrayal of our people or a negative one? I personally sense the latter. He does make comments about others but I've noticed the show focuses mainly on us unlike the strip which deals with politics and general things going on in current day. Basically for a show where the majority is white it almost feels like its a way to exploit and air out our cultures dirty laundry and although it may help in some ways i still can't figure out if it helps more than it is detrimental. Only time will tell. Its only been 4 shows and the rest of the season is left so we'll see where it goes from here. I wasn't feeling this episode in particular tho.
