What was the most intelligent and ignorant thing Michael said that was black? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-07-2006, 11:30 AM

We all know that when Michael was younger, everything that came out of his mouth was black. One intelligent thing I like what he said that made sense, and it is still a problem in the country today was when he told Mad Dog that, "You brothers shouldn't be fighting one another. Ain't ya'll ever heard of black unity?" Michael hit it on the money with that line. Too bad stupid ass Mad Dog wouldn't listen to him.

Now the most ignorant thing I think Michael said was when Florida asked him what kind of Ice Cream he wanted. He said chocolate. Only because he liked the black race, not because he liked the ice cream better. Michael went a little overboard right there.

Let me just explain that I am black myself, and I like vanilla ice cream better than chocolate, so that was ridiculous on his part.

"I can't get down if my ice-cream aint brown" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! This was actually the cheesiest thing that Michael ever said. I thought that was a dumb remark.

Was Michael racist, in the respect that he thought blacks were superior over others? I haven't watched enough of the show to know.

Brian Damage · 01-08-2006, 12:27 PM

Yes he was racist. He had serious issues withwhites while he was younger. When he got a little older, he was a little more open to whites.

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-08-2006, 01:48 PM

He wouldn't have never wanted to move in with that white girl (Nancy Morgan) when he was younger. BTW, Michael was more militant than racist.

Brian Damage · 01-08-2006, 01:56 PM

He was militant that was for sure, but calling a white girl a "Honkey" was racist.

Michael was a young George Jefferson-lol

Ireneparalegal · 01-08-2006, 08:22 PM

it definitely is the one when the Evans' have cousin Edgar and his wife come over for dinner and when Edgar states he was laid off Michael says: "I bet they only fired you cuz your BLACK!!" So stupid for the writers to have him say this. No reason for it at all. Michael could have asked "why?" instead of saying that. It made him look more stupid when Edgar replied with the other workers being fired cuz they are white...

I know, i loved when Edgar said that-lol

I don't think that Michael thought that black people were more better then white people. I think that he saw the struggle that his people had been through and the 60's and 70's weren't all peaches and strawberries for black people. So I can see why he looked out and stood up for his race. But some of the things that the writer would have Mike say weren't call for.

The worse comment he made was when he asked the two cops chasing Cleatus whether they knew who killed Medgar Evers.

why was that? I been meaning to ask what was behind that question by michael

Brian Damage · 01-09-2006, 10:42 AM

I'm sure it was a valid question to ask, but not at that moment. It was rude and unjustified. Those two agents were just doing their job.
