Discuss black-ish

The show is entertaining, but it would be better if they toned down the white characters a bit. I get the purpose of obnoxious white characters given the nature of the show, but it often comes off as awkwardly unnatural and forced, and distracts from the show's meaningul sentiments.

That's precisely why I stopped watching the show. It used to be palatable to all audiences. Now it's a SJW/BLM platform and mouthpiece. It went from being a good-hearted, good-natured show to having an overbearing anti-white agenda, The white characters, who were at first just delightfully and comically ignorant, are now blatantly stupid and racist. Even Deon Cole returning to the show isn't enough to bring me back to it. The last few episodes we watched, which I believe were in the 2016 season, were just so vehemently racist that I couldn't justify continuing to watch it. It's not a matter of bruised ego or anything...I get it. The social norm of the current climate is that "all whites are evil by birth" which just makes me roll my eyes. The way the show lured in mixed audiences with the intention to then beat them over the head with the "evil white people" ideology was despicable, especially because the first two seasons revolved around Dre's perceived idea of white aggression, which was largely due to his insecurities and overactive imagination, to saying "Dre's overactive imagination is actually less imaginative than reality, because white people REALLY ARE that evil."

Oh, and the BLM episode where they all attacked Rainbow for being half-white, and the narrative throughout the show that that was the right thing to do, and that she doesn't get to have a voice because she's "half evil" was absolutely disgusting.
