Are you asking a question for a term paper and looking for many different answers? You ought to know #1 it dealt with racism.

The show didn't deal with a lot of controversial issues like All in the family, Maude, and Good Times

Racism seem to be a more key thing. Sometimes i felt the show tried to shy away from other things

The two part episode where Lionel couldn't be bothered to write a term paper about homosexual themes in a book and Mr Jefferson paid for someone to write it for himself. This would of been a good time to see what the characters thought were on homosexuality. But it didn't.

The show dealt with a lot of social issues throughout its run:

Racism, interracial marriage, homosexuality, transgender issues, sex discrimination, suicide, gang violence, economic issues, poverty, unions, impotency, multiple personalities, alcoholism, gun control
