In the February 24 episode of Freeform’s Good Trouble, titled “Arraignment Day”, white supremacists swarm Mariana Adams Foster's (Cierra Ramirez) app, ACT-ivism, which enables activists to organize protests. Throughout, a Trump slogan or two is thrown in with the racist hate to create a false equivalence.

Well, folks, it looks like it’s just open season for racism towards white people when it comes to the heavily racial -ish comedy franchise. New week, new hateful quotes about white people. You can almost bet on it now.

For weeks, ABC’s The Rookie hit viewers over the head with the evils of racist white cops, personified through Officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh). While Officer Stanton may be gone, the show is just getting started on the racial white guilt.

CW’s Batwoman may have a new lead, but the politics are as bad as ever. With several subtle victimization jabs in the past few episodes, the superhero series finally makes a bold move by supporting the ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) movement. Again, this is supposed to be our hero, ladies and gentlemen.

When it came to the February 18 episode of Fox’s Last Man Standing, “Lost and Found,” viewers were treated to an episode which was atypical in more ways than one.

ABC’s The Good Doctor might want to change its name to The Woke Doctor. After previous episodes this season supported Black Lives Matter and abortion, Monday night’s episode, “Irresponsible Salad Bar Practices,” offered the double whammy of a pregnant trans man and systemic racism in medicine.

Another week, another offensive storyline from the -ish franchise. This time, the award goes to mixed-ish, once again. And this time, it’s surprisingly not about race, but about anti-Christian and anti-Bible bigotry, as lead character Paul (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) calls God “some man on a cloud,” and the Bible an “insane” “magic book.”

Just because CW’s horror series Two Sentence Horror Stories focused on transphobia doesn’t mean it forgot about other marginalized groups. The show’s two-episode season finale makes the bold statement that no monster or evil spirit can be as bad as the evil white man.

For the better part of 2020, Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters burned and looted large and mid-size cities across the United States, leaving over 2 billion dollars in damaged property, lost livelihoods, destroyed communities and dozens dead. In fact, they are still causing violence from Portland to New York. As recently as Saturday, February 13, Black Lives Matter protesters injured two…

While the highly racial sitcom franchise black-ish, grown-ish and mixed-ish love to portray white people as clueless, annoying, racist, tone deaf and any other number of negative traits, it looks as if the writers of mixed-ish may have been so blinded by their love of hating on white people that they didn’t even realize they made a perfect argument against…

NBC’s Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is the latest program to suddenly tackle racism in the wake of last summer's Black Lives Matter protests. The show follows Zoey (Jane Levy) as she navigates working at the tech company SPRQPoint. But celebrating a young woman in her leadership role takes a backseat to the "systemic racism" going on at the company, specifically in February 9’s…

The superhero shows on the CW have returned for 2021, and with them come all the usual cliches. Good guys fighting bad guys, lots of special effects, and, of course, the blatant liberal agenda. The Black Lightning season 4 premiere does all that with a scene that promotes the Black Lives Matter narrative and the return of the old MAGA treatment. Namely, that only bad guys ever want to…

When the staff members for new L.A. Mayor Neil Bremer (Ted Danson) are forced to gather for a mandatory HR training session, during the aptly titled “Respect in the Workplace” episode on February 4 of NBC’s Mr. Mayor, hilarity ensues.

The 2020-21 TV season may end up being remembered as the year Black Lives Matter occupied scripted television. Or the year Hollywood finally buried its last vestige of original creativity. Either way, the last few months of popular TV have been one long overdose of video virtue signaling.
