Netflix Acquires 7 Legendary Black Sitcoms
While we may not always be one-hundred percent certain a corporation like Netflix is completely progressive and unproblematic, we can be sure that this is a moment for Black entertainment.
Netflix announced that they will be streaming Moesha, The Game, Sister Sister, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Half & Half, and One on One.
Until we learn otherwise, we are stanning this decision by the platform. Since it’s inception, Netflix has featured an array of Black films and series, and was the platform of choice for many of Ava Duvernay’s critically-acclaimed bodies of work.
Netflix has also donated millions to support Black creators and the Black Lives Matter movement, and was one of the first major coporations to publicly stand with BLM.
Let’s hope the company properly compensated the Black entertainers who made these shows legendary. As of right now, they all seem to be excited about the partnership!
