I was watching the ep the other night when J.J was dating the rich girl and when he heard Clarissa's family lived in a expensive neighborhood he says-

"That's where the all the Rich Blacks live and eat their chicken BROILED"


So according to Michael, if you are black you are never supposed to try to eat different types of chicken whether it's baked or brolied or grilled, it must always be fried if you are black. Michael was ODD-lol

Michael in these early seasons was the militant midget, so, his going against the "norm" of poor black folk was what he was doing when saying such idiotic stuff.

So according to Michael's comment, do you mean to tell me that poor black people don't eat their chicken broiled? Or that supposedly wealthy black people DON'T eat fried chicken? Stupid writers I tell you.

That's exactly what I'm telling you-lol That was the Project Mentality

I would really like to know what black folk (rich and poor) thought abt those comments. Seriously. If anything, he may have been talking "for the poor blacks" but he was also speaking for all other groups as well. Those comments are like saying "poor mexicans eat only beans." "poor white people only eat mac and cheese."

Well I'm glad they gave that line to a CHILD instead of James-LOL

Which was their course of action when GT was in production. Having an adult say such ludicrous sh*t wouldn't fly...make the child say it and it's FUNNY...NOT!

Michael was a little too militant as a kid. Some of his comments were out of left field.

A young George Jefferson-lol

Did Michael ever say "Honkey?" lol

Yeah he called the white girl a honkey who came to see thelma so she could join their soriority.


Florida: Michael to be on the safe side go in the bathroom and put up the same clean towels

Michael: FOR A HONKEY??????????



LOL

LOL I forgot about that.

I kind of agree with Michael on that one because why did he have to put clean towels in the bathroom just because a White person was in the house. It should be for when ANYONE came in the house as a Guest not just a White person

It had nothing to do with her being white, it had to do with a soroity coming to pay Thelma a visit.

No what I'm saying is why would Florida tell Michael to run real fast put up clean towels?-lol she didn't say that Ernie, James friend, came to the house. So Michael was trying to figure out why his mother was rolling out the red carpet for the girl just because she was white

Again, it had nothing to do with her being white. It had to do with something Florida thought would be positive for Thelma's school.

YES IT DID!!!!!!!!!!!-LOL It was clear as day that Florida say that because of the Girl's race. That's my opinion of course

We agree to disagree

I agree.

I agree.


It had nothing to do with the school thelma was going to becauseof how Florida said it-"To be on the safe side" Like saying-"We can't this white gir think we don;t have clean towels in our bathroom"

Let me clarify, I believe it was because of a "stranger" coming to the home. When it's friends or family coming over, you usually know already they are coming and you are prepared. Florida was barely being told someone was coming to the house and wasn't prepared.

But she never said things like that when she had Black guests which is why Michael responded the way he did-lol

When she had black guests, it was usually friends and/or family, and she knew abt them coming over most of the time. She didn't know anyone was coming over that day. If she had known, she would have put fresh towels in the bathroom. Michael making that remark was just an opportunity for the writers to throw around the term "honky".

Ok I just thought of another White Guest and Florida didn't rush to clean, it was...................JUDY COHEN. So I see your point

:rolleyes: Uh, Solomon. You should know that all black people are required to eat fatback. It is part of the culture. Broiled Chicken? Surely you jest! :eek: LOL.


Michael could work somebody's nerve in the beginning. There should be a talking Michael doll.

She cooked fried chicken once. The flame wasn't on, but there was a pan with oil in it and she was putting floured covered chicken in it.
And also, remember the chicken in the meatloaf episode? :rofl:
I haven't had dinner because I had a huge breakfast, but my stomach is growling now.
