Ari Lennox Says Martin Was Problematic — Was There Colorism? || Caps N Crowns

In this episode, we're reacting to Ari Lennox's comments on the classic '90s sitcom, Martin. She expressed discomfort with how Martin treated the character Pam, suggesting it stemmed from colorism. As longtime fans of the show, we dive into her perspective and offer our own analysis.

We'll break down the show's humor, the dynamics between Martin and the other characters, and discuss whether the jokes were truly about race and skin tone or if they were part of a broader comedic style. We also explore the larger issues of colorism in Hollywood and how personal experiences can shape the way we view art.
