When talking about racial diversity in Hollywood, Black-ish is a real pioneer. The sitcom created by Kenya Barris debuted in 2014, and hasn’t looked back ever since. However, change is an essential part of a journey, and the series will go through one for the upcoming season.
The show is a comedic, satirical take on the experience of African Americans in the US. It’s making fun of the idea that society believes that there is a specific connotation to blackness. Also, it’s naive to put certain behaviours and belief systems in a box and given as a “Black” attribute.
The problem is that some people fail to recognize satire. Not just in case of Black-ish but in any context and always take on face value. No wonder a show will seem racist if the irony isn’t considered.
Let’s put all that to the side and discuss the buzz-making return of the show.
