Scott D. Pierce: Is African-American character in ‘The Neighborhood’ a racist?

The premise of the new CBS sitcom “The Neighborhood” (Monday, 7 p.m., Channel 2) is pretty simple. A new family, of a different race than the other families in the area, moves in; the next-door neighbor isn’t happy about it.

The twist is that the new family is white; the unhappy neighbor is black. And Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) doesn't make any attempt to hide his unhappiness.
