My mind may be making connections between Family Time and other Black TV sitcoms. For example: 1. The brother, who is wise-cracking and less intelligent, and the sister (adorable and straight “A” student) have the dynamics of JJ and Thelma from Good Times and Eddie and Laura from Family Matters. 2. The husband and wife, Tony (who is hard-working, wise-cracking, and less educated) and Lisa (a homeowner and college-educated) relationships seem to set the template for their children. 3. Moreover, Tony has w/his sister-in-law, the same relationship that Fred and Aunt Esther had with Sanford & Son. 4. Finally, Lisa and Tony’s mother's relationship resembles the relationship between Louise and Mother Jefferson from The Jeffersons.
I understand the video was about acceptance on the third episode but I hate that it wasn’t pushed further. The ideals and what Malcolm X fought for as far as the advancement of Negros he wouldn’t want a white kid benefiting from a scholarship a black kid will miss out on.

I went to a HBCU NC&AT, how can you make an argument when you didn’t even go to a college period.
