Fact: Cosby Show was racist ########

I loved the show growing up but I watch it now on TV Land and I see the sitcom in a different light.
The way white people on the show were usually the butt of the jokes or the dumb characters that the Cosbys learned a lesson off of.... I could go on about "It's a Different World" but I won't.

black people often thought it was racist for unrealistically portraying blacks as successful professionals

The only white person I recall seeing on that show was a cameo by Gilbert Gottfried. There were probably a few more, but anytime a "White" show doesn't represent the minority populous, someone's sure to complain.

Remember when Adam Sandler was on the Cosby show?

I don't recall, what character did he play?

He played the Dad.

On IMDB, I see he played the character Smitty for four episodes.

Yeah, Cliff Hugstable was a regular Nat Turner wasn't he.

A modern day Nat Turner :warning

The Huxtables's were BLACK???!

black people can never be racists :-)

I don't remember it that way at all.. I remember it going out of the way to be multi cultural. The only white character I remember being the butt of jokes was the chubby kid from across the street but I don't think that had anything to do with his race.

Who cares really??

I just watch it on tv :)

WHAT?!?!?! :helpme

Pretty racist post man.

ditto... I remember the chubby kid and his chubby dad. I don't remember anything I would call racist.

i could fuck Lisa Bonet for hours and hours....

cosby show was great and will always be a classic

Yup one of Theo's school buddies.

It doesn't really bother me. Good laughs. Bill is a little nutso now but it's his right...

You didnt see the movie??

Lisa Bonet was hot. Lenny Kravitz was married to her I believe.

gotta see the show again, I used to watch it when i was little and i loved it, I don´t remember any rascism on it.......but as you said times changes and so do our brains...

I had more of a problem with a doctor being married to a lawyer than the skin color... ;-)

What movie?There is only show.And show is now on tv,third season.

Wasnt the movie called 'Roots' ?

If a show is all black it is ethnic. If a show is all white it is racist.

It's kind of like the white shows that have been on TV and they'll throw in some token blacks to act the fools so the white characters can learn a moral lesson.

Cosby did the same thing as the white guests thrown in here and there always play the idiots or 'middle class' characters.

It's on TV Land, check it out. I used to love the show too. :(

Who cares? That show is fucking lame. Errybody knows black folk don't talk like that. Sheit!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i didnt think it was racialist at all...a good show with nice concepts.

I grew up watching it from the day it aired til it ended. I am 22 now. so that was my window of my family lived like on tv. it was not racist at all.

it might have done a spin on other shows, but wasn't racist.

I was thinking about how on the show Bill acted like a crack head. always mumbling and itching at his skin. He was addicted to potato chips and that was used as a symbol for crack.

He would hide the potato chips, sneak them, eat them when no one was around and so on. But the wife would always find the stash. BUT she would take a few hits errm bites from the bag.

More realistic show about black familes

A) Cosby Show

B) Good Times

I'll say B

Those darkies hate the white man

word that.
