I watched Sister Sister all the time back in the 90s.

Nobody made a big deal out of it starring black women.

Although I do remember one transphobic joke, and nobody cared, complained or tried to get them cancelled.

yes i remember today. I also remember when you wanted more people to die from covid because of YOUR FREEDOM.

i'm sure there is no correlation between those two at all.

Family Matters was my favorite show growing up. It's a damn shame TV today doesn't have anything that comes close to being that good.

Those shows focused on being good though rather then political messages.

I think it's more the fact that those shows back in the day were well written and actually had good jokes. Today's sitcoms have god awful writing and braindead generic ass jokes that try to please everyone.

If they're trying to please everyone they're probably not 'woke'

Every major production company today thinks woke is what will get them ratings, so yes woke = pleasing everyone.

Some did, but didn't hit you on the head and didn't dehumanize people. Even Captain Planet had an episode on racism that was done well compared to any woke show.

what's your upside of taking this stance?

option 1.) the majority of people are okay with black empowerment and that makes you upset because you're racist
option 2.) the majority of people aren't okay with black empowerment but those evil tv guys think they are and that makes you upset because you're racist

bad shows existed 20 years ago, we just don't remember them because they're bad. Lovecraft county is a great show to a person with your awful taste it's "woke". The fact of the matter is the way many minorities are treated is quite poorly and a big part of that is because a lot of the country is self-segregated and just don't deal with other minorities. So portraying them positively or showcasing the struggles they face that you might not in media is one of many small ways to shift away from people with your mentality.
