I find it humorous that James feelings toward Florida’s rich cousins…

changed after they revealed that they were struggling just like The Evans Family. Prior to that, James was insulting them and talking bad about them nonstop, insinuating that they were condescending, snooty, and snobby and looked down on the family. I mean if you have beef with someone, you have beef with someone. How the hell do you go from disliking someone tremendously and talking bad about them to having a change of heart and having sympathy for them and being buddies with them?

James has done something similar...
When he first (Rightfully) assumed that the Encyclopedia Salesman was a Con Artist, he was hard-nosed, tough, and no nonsense.... As soon as he found out the man WAS BLIND, he had a change of heart and became nice to him and only got hard-nosed, tough, and no nonsense when he found out his initial assumptions that the Encyclopedia Salesman was a Con Artist was correct....

I never heard Florida, Thelma, or J.J. say anything that went against whites and successful blacks but James and Michael did seem to make cracks about them sometimes. The family couldn’t relate to upper class and successful people, especially when they were living in a ran down, cramped ghetto located in a high crime area, struggling, so that’s most likely why James and Michael acted the way they did. Especially Michael who always said mostly slanderous and outrageous things against successful whites and blacks like “we eat our chicken fried, rich black people eat it BROILED” and told the family they should buy Cream Of Wheat just because the cover of the box had a working black man on it and insinuated that the family needed to buy chocolate ice cream because they were black and he told the white cops who were looking for Cleatus “why isn’t anyone looking for the guy who shot Medgar Evers”. That Medgar Evers remark hardly made any damn sense.

Yeah and they were like “oh, they’re struggling too, yay, that’s nice to hear, now that news clears off a guilty conscience”

I have to agree with Clarissa's father, I wouldnt have wanted my daughter being in that dangerous environment dating a guy in the projects. Now JJ wasnt hood but he was in the hood and for a teenage girl to be in that area was dangerous.

I was on James’s side and Clarissa’s father’s side. Clarissa’s father was a bit of a snob who seems to have forgotten he had to get on top all the way from the bottom and used to living in the projects when he was a child and thought his daughter was “too good” for J.J. and “didn’t deserve him” just because they were rich but I wouldn’t want my daughter going out very often to see a boy who was living in a rather hostile and dangerous ghetto either. J.J.’s a decent guy, when he wasn’t clowning around and was calm and made good sense that is, but the projects were very dangerous.
