He was one of the financial donors for Dancing In September. All my credits are on black shows, but throughout my entire career I've never interviewed for a white show except once. That was Married With Children, but the executive producer was black also, and he hired black writers. That was the only time I ever interviewed for a show that didn't have a black cast. Even though on most of the shows I've worked on, I've worked for more white writers than black writers.
Blacks know more about white culture than whites know about black culture.
If anyone has the knowledge to write any other culture, it seems like it would be blacks because, except when we're at home, we're exposed to white culture all the time. Most of the time with whites, their exposure comes from the media. On Martin a couple of the producers said they don't attempt to write slang or black dialect because they know it's a cultural thing. That youth culture is just a small slice of black culture but a large part of television. Sister, Sister was the only show I've worked on where most of the writers were black.
