Revisiting: Family Matters

As hard as this show worked to teach children of the world important morals and values, revisiting this popular television series ten years later has yielded surprisingly racist results.

As far as African-Americans go, they did quite a good job including a wide array of individuals with varying circumstances. Different intelligence levels, wealth and status are all different, and they all even have a diverse moral alignment. However, according to Family Matters, all white people have evil intents, intelligence levels always under par, either wealthy or middle-class, lack any sort of common courtesy, and under any and all circumstances should be made fun of for any of the above reasons. Not enough to really offend a white person on a conscious level, especially not back then, but enough to make me wonder.

Quite honestly, I didn't bother sitting down and watching all nine seasons of the show, so my observation may be a little heavy on one side. I'm not writing as a criticism, I'm writing because I'm bored. That's the only reason I ever write. Welcome to my blog.
