Why would Florida say things in front of Michael

[hch]

What is a Myles, you ask?

On "Moesha", everytime things got a little bit serious, Myles was always being sent to his room, and even when he did know better about stuff, he was always chastised or sent off somewhere. So Myles ended up smoking the wacky weed and this resulted in him getting psychological therapy in which he confronted his family for not really caring about him and taking him for granted.

Just like Michael was. I'm surprised Michael didn;t end up the same way. He was just mad all the time on "Good Times". He was always told to shut up or to change his views even though in the long run he was right. It really ticked me off every time Michael said something with a lot of truth and sense, James was always threatening to put the belt to his behind. In some ways, I am like Michael myself- wise beyond my years, speaking the truth, and enlightened by the views of the world. My parents encouraged that because it shows that I was growing up. I wish that James and Florida had saw it that way too.

Whether the writers wanted it to happen or not, it was happening in the 70's

Well, I'm sure glad it didn't happen where I live. I'm in Long Island, New York and our school became integrated at the start of the 74-75 school year, and everyone got a long just fine. We had one kid who did a great "dynotmite," a la J. J., so maybe a show like Good Times helped ease any uneasiness anyone felt. One of the new kids actually became a good friend of mine for over the next several years. It's horrible what happens out there sometimes, I really wish everyone could see beyond the color of skin.

Maybe someday......
