While the show the huxtables meant well, it didn't fully tackle the real world barriers or systematic oppression that black Americans face.
Which resulted in white audiences watching the show thinking that the huxtables who made it, did so because of their hard work, and other black Americans who aren't wealthy or successful, must be because they aren't trying hard enough.
Enlightened racism happens when a fictional, perfect image of success
is used to justify the myth that the American dream is equally easy for everyone, allowing people to ignore real world inequalities.

A moving walkway is a great metaphor for systemic racism. This allegory is from Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum in her book “Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?” Dr. Camara Jones extended the metaphor to include dismantling the system in her TED talk “Allegories on race and racism.”

How long does it take to execute a child in the United States of America?

In 1944, the state of South Carolina needed only 83 days to arrest a 14-year-old Black boy named George Stinney Jr. and then put him to death.
