it's always sunny
I came back to my apartment the other night to find my roommates huddled around the television watching the first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One episode in particular reminded me of one of the many discussions we’ve been having in COMM 300. The episode, appropriately titled “The Gang Get’s Racist,” brings up, surprisingly enough, issues of race and the representation of blackness. This episode in particular, lightens the severity of racism through use of comical writing and direction. Yet, at the same time, it touches on some very real issues facing both black and white people alike. It sympathizes with both races and exposes our frustrations and fears in a facetious demeanor.
