If it had a Black cast in tge 80s 90s I was on it. As a Grown man I dont always gravitate to the so called Black films. I call the TV the ignorant box and rather read, learn, teach, and coach my people.

As regards your overall take: As long as the black characters reflected or reflect us via the complex human beings we are too, no harm or foul...

As regards commercial movies in general and TV shows in particular, little or none of it rises far above merely being light entertainment from the getgo...

As regards your second take, I also factor in how even more media savvy today's young people are, than most us were back in the day, too...

I. e., based on my own life experiences, better to approach who we hope to reach and teach on the mutual respect level, bro!

Just as my generation of young black freedom fighters heeded the calls of brother Malcolm, also we will find out who heed those of brother gil scott heron, aka his 'Message To The Messagers', etc.
