Final answer:
The Cosby Show was not 'universal' because it dealt with controversial racial issues, but because it depicted relatable family life to a broad audience, avoiding directly tackling racial controversies.
Step-by-step explanation:
False; The Cosby Show was considered 'universal' because it was a show that depicted an affluent African American family in a way that was relatable to a broad audience, focusing on everyday family life rather than directly tackling controversial racial issues. It was known for its portrayal of strong family values and was significant for mainstream America's acceptance of a show with a predominantly Black cast. The show often avoided directly addressing societal and racial controversies, instead choosing to focus on the family's interactions and personal growth. While The Cosby Show did contribute to discussions about race by its very nature and existence on television, it did not consistently deal with controversial racial issues in the way that some other programs of the time did.
Regarding the question about the colonisation's scheme being popular among black abolitionists in the early 1800s, this is also False. The colonization's scheme, which involved the idea of sending freed slaves to Africa, was largely unpopular among black abolitionists, who sought equal rights within the United States rather than colonization elsewhere.
