Because it’s 2017 and black TV isn’t as sparse as it once was, you still have those Netflix Dave Chappelle comedy specials to get to, not to mention countless episodes of Black-ish, Underground, 24: Legacy and even reality shows like The Real Housewives of Atlanta to catch up on.
There’s so much melanin TV that you no longer feel obligated to support any and every black show that pops up. So John Singleton and his Rebel on BET might just have to take that L. Besides, this female-Shaft thing looks sort of dated.
