As disturbing as it is to have our incoming president tweeting out comments on a show title, as he did with 'Blackish' this week, I was always thinking the same thing. How does a network put on a show called 'Blackish'. I understand diversity and such, but the hypocrisy is ridiculous.

Have you ever watched the show?

I've never watched it, but I've heard good things.
And if Donald thinks it's racist, it's gotta be good.

I have watched the show. Watched most of the first season. The father in the show while funny, can border on some racist comments. The wife and the children are hilarious. The young daughter is cute.

How does it do it? One viewing of the pilot explains it. The lead male character works in an advertising agency, and is put in charge of "urban" campaigns, which he considers a racist slight; IIRC, his first "ad" smacks of Amos & Andy-level racism, and when everybody else reacts appropriately (as he expected), he points out something like, "You don't want black - you want black-ish!" before revealing his actual ad, which is more what they were expecting (middle-class blacks).
As for "white-ish", I can think of a couple of shows where this would apply in a similar vein; Roseanne and Raising Hope. (Possibly [i[My Name is Earl as well.)
I'd hate to see what Trump thought of The White Shadow...

In other words, in context, the show's title isn't racist at all? You mean this is just another example of artificial outrage and perceived insult when none exist?Quote: ThatDonGuyHow does it do it?

I thought it was a conservative dogma that leftist social justice warriors had a monopoly on artificial outrage. I guess not.
Or maybe Trump is a closet SJW? That'd be just desserts.
