i respect and appreciate what they were going for and could see the entertainment merits of the show objectively speaking...
but i had a real hard time with the show. Hit too close for home with everything going on. Hopefully it accomplished some good for the majority white audience that watches it.

The point of comedy is to make light of everyday tragedies to make em a bit easier to swallow. It's supposed to be cathartic.
Like as a personal anecdote I remember that on 9/11 I was supposed to start work a Godiva chocolate at 1 World Trade. Was going to be the first day on the job for myself and some friends.
When the plane hit all I could tell my friend in my complete state of shock was "well I guess we're not going to work today". It didn't make a bitter pill any easier to swallow but it was still less bitter.
Charlie's song about his miserable life and how it parrallels the stereotypes of fatherless black kids was pretty ingenius if you ask me.

that shit was too funny danny devito just take that show to a whole new level here the back story
McElhenney and Howerton recently joined The Nerdist podcast and explained that after a first season with low ratings, FX gave them an ultimatum: Add a star name to bring in audiences or the show is over. On the podcast, McElhenney went on to say he, Howerton, and Day were hesitant to add a big name and change the way they were writing and making the show. He says FX threw around some names, including Danny DeVito. "It's not that we were reticent to the idea of adding Danny to the show," Howerton recalled, "it's that we were reticent to add a name to the show. You know, because we kinda liked that we were no-names and it was this weird, small thing, you know. McElhenney, Howerton, and Day then opened up to the idea and talked to DeVito, who apparently already knew about the show because his kids watched it.

Keep in mind that the characters are meant to be clueless, stubborn and very bigoted. The show itself isn't but the characters are. It's the most dysfunctional group of sitcom characters since Seinfeld. That's why they call it Seinfeld on crack.
This is raw politically incorrect comedy at it's core. If you're easily offended or can't handle shocking comedy steer clear.
