EpicKingdom_ 09/30/18 1:37:24 PM #1:	The premise of the new CBS sitcom The Neighborhood (Monday, 7 p.m., Channel 2) is pretty simple. A new family, of a different race than the other families in the area, moves in; the next-door neighbor isnt happy about it. The twist is that the new family is white; the unhappy neighbor is black. And Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) doesn't make any attempt to hide his unhappiness. This is a black neighborhood, something built for us by us, Calvin says. You let one family like that move in, and the next thing you know it's going to be a bunch of dudes jogging around in their little short shorts, walking their vegan labradoodles. In other words, he doesnt want white people living next to him, and he freely expresses racial stereotypes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1COucIcYhU" data-time=" This show is definitely not racist towards white people, I cant wait for the spin off where a black man tries to fit in within a white neighborhood. --- @GameFAQs moderators: https://youtu.be/PeihcfYft9w <cite>EpicKingdom_ posted [p:909714647] in Double sta...
