It just occurred to me that all this sitcoms are shallow white people not weighing into difficult topics. I wasn’t really into TV then,so basically saw a few episodes here and there and knew Seinfeld was proudly about “nothing”. And that although I watched shows a decade earlier along with reins after school of the Jeffersons, and Arnold adopted by a rich white man, and the hunky Latino cop on CHiPs, minorities did seem to vanish more from the mainstream. However, I think some key terms like “woke”and “liberal guilt” were coined by Republican think thanks to undermine to make white liberals seem silly and vapid. It worked and they circulated the branding so effectively that mainstream media and people who didn’t vote for Trump artificially “belonged” on the liberal left. The attempt to undermine white liberals is t drive a wedge between the powerful whites n the left and the minorities on the left to dissolve “allegiances”. The divide and conquer tactic of them works. I can assure you that I’ve been liberal for decades, have no “guilt” for trying to speak out racism and equality, and have never been asleep enough to be woke. To me it is the hard core Trump followers the need waking and should suffer from guilt for their stream of racist and exist remarks and actions. If Majorie Green and Boebert and Gosar would have a bit of self-awareness (wokeness) mixed with a tinge of guilt (liberal guilt), they might get to work and discuss meaningful policy and stop tweeting racist comments. And organizing destructive rallies to fan the flames of hatred, even after they did so leading up to January 6th. It is the vapidness of Seinfeld and the forced fake black friend on sex and the city that tried to unite white that may have succeeded in uniting whites in empty laughter but failed to make them think about political racial inequality that reflects this period. Glad to brought it up and bring about interesting ideas through observations of media characters.
