‘Living Single’ Star Erika Alexander Calls Out Woke-Wannabe David Schwimmer for his "All-Black" ‘Friends’ Reboot Suggest

She couldn't give him any props for advocating for diversity in the first place?

R1, he was pandering like that Sex and the City cunt.

I don't think Maxine Shaw was too much of a stretch for her.

He already gave a pretty even handed response.

- He didn't mean to forget the show.

- He liked the show.

- He thought Friends was based on the creator's lives.

- However it's also possible that it was picked up because of Living Single's success.

(And to be fair that's what Queen Latifah said: NBC was looking for a similar show so they picked it up.)

Living Single was a much funnier show.

OMG.,,both shows were godawful!!!!

Get over it already.

What a dumb cow. Schwimmer is talking about a Friends reboot—that has nothing to do with any other show including Living Single.

Screaming “Racism!” where there is none really doesn’t help the cause of fighting racism.

did Living Single have other races or ethnicities? any asians or latinos? native Americans?

He thought they should do an all black Friends reboot. She responded that there was already an all black Friends, and one that actually served as the template for Friends. And it was called Living Single.

Friends always gets treated like it was some anomaly by the media which is BS. Living Single and These Friends of Mine (which became Ellen) were already on the air before Friends debuted.

The fact that NBC wanted to cast Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon shows you just how much they were influenced by Living Single.

And Max and Kyle were a far more interesting coupling than the banal Ross and Rachael.

Was that the show was shanaynay? I was just a kid back then.

No I think Shanaynay was on Martin.

He's really annoying with the woke shtick he's been on. Even in today's modern day context, people still gravitate towards their own culture. The group of them being friends was far more believable than then having a token black friend. Same for Living Single in the opposite direction.

1. You're talking about yourself, dear.

2. It really wasn't.

Ross, Monica & Rachel are from Long Island.

Chandler is from Las Vegas.

Joey grew up in Queens. Phoebe had been living on the streets of NYC since she was 14.

The show is fictional. If we applied real world logic to it you could just as easily say that it's much more likely that Joey and Phoebe would have never been friends with Ross, Monica & Rachel.

And yes I'm pretending what you're saying isn't "whites stick with whites" and "blacks stick with blacks" because some of us left our small ass hometowns and bothered to branch out.

R15 doesn’t realize posting all that shit shows how pathetic and empty his life is.

In a 90s kind of world I'm glad I got my girl!s! True blue we tight like glue!

I bet David thinks that we disrespect Whitney Houston and shit on her grave here at the DL.

Why do white people always want credit for some weak ass bullshit?

Just like most white people in this country David Schwimmer doesn't know history. He doesn't even know the history about how his own damn show came about.

This thread doesn't belong here. Take it back to LSA, fraupotomus.

Woo woo woo !

I'm a white eldergay and I watched "Living Single" religiously, but detested "Friends."

Pretty soon people will be complaining about how there were no black people on The Brady Bunch.

Having an all-white group of close friends is pretty common in NYC to this day.

R15, Chandler was college roommates with Ross. Joey was Chandler's roommate. Those friendships made total sense! Phoebe was the only one who seemed like an outlier, but she was friends with Monica as an adult. The connections for the most part were believable. If you think there is such diversity in NYC friendship circles then you haven't been to the UES and many other parts of the city.
