It seems quite condescending to assert that obviously Sugar would have done it differently today, because any right thinking person will agree with Vrai! Right? Because, like, the debate between the "let's destroy our oppressors by blood and fire" and the "let's explain to our oppressors, in words of one syllable, why being dicks is bad" schools of thought - that's totally new! That definitely came into being within the last few years!
Also, Martin Luthor King and Malcolm X totally didn't spend years talking shit about one another. Definitely not.

I don't think that Tasker is saying that the distinction is new, or that Sugar would have done it differently if the show was being made today. At least, that's not what Tasker says in the piece OP quoted. All they're saying is that the themes of a show are less germane and less appropriate to the specific moment than when the show first came out.

You don't have to agree with them about their political views and the utility of violent revolution but like... the piece just doesn't assert that "obviously Sugar would have done it differently today". If it does, I definitely am missing it.
