Is it racist if I find the old 70's sitcom What's Happening funny?

[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 222800, member: 102"] TV is a non-factor in this. If some people didn't have good parental role models, you could show them hours and hours of Brady Bunch re-reruns, but it won't do any good. If someone tells they weren't parented and were socialized by TV, ask them: "Who bought the TV? Who allowed you to watch the TV"? Somebody was there. It never has been and never could be a TV show's job to parent a child. A parent's job is to parent. A TV show's job is to make a buck. They do that by entertaining. It is not a parent's primary job to entertain. It's a secondary objective at times, but not a primary. [/QUOTE]
