So this post on Twitter tells us that black sitcoms in the 90s and early 2000s were so popular that that became a part of many people’s childhoods of all backgrounds and then after that, they just stopped being made. I want to find out what could have caused black sitcoms into stopped being made.

All the yt shows copying them. Friends was a complete rip off of Living Single.

Just say white. Saying “yt” is a feeble attempt at racism.

Lol does my spelling offend you?

[u/ALKCRKDeuce → u/treabelle]

Offend me? That “yt” isn’t an actual word? Only thing you’re offending is the dictionary.

However, everyone knows when a black person uses “yt”, it’s an attempt at racism. You’re purposely using “yt” as a dig at white people. Which, checking the definition…, yup. Racism.

Don’t combat racism with racism.

It’s a weird self censorship taken from TikTok.

Wasn't Living Single a rip off of Designing Women?

[u/treabelle → u/[deleted]]

No. That had 1 male character and was primarily set around the work place

One? Ted, Doug and Hal

But they still lack the culture of the black sitcoms.

White culture exists.
