Among other things my parents believed in education, discipline, and being respectful but I wouldn't necessarily compare our life to that of the Huxtables.<br /><br />It's always been interesting to me that people saw The Cosby Show as this ideal Black family who was so different from that of "normal" Black families. <br /><br />All Black families aren't single-parent households. All Black families didn't come from meager beginnings. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it seems as though people fail to realize that we are all very different. We can't be lumped into one or two categories. <br /><br />But I digress, I appreciate The Cosby Show for helping the mainstream to realize that there are successful, well-adjusted Black families out there. During The Today Show one of the members of the cast said it best. They were trying to depict the life of a normal family, who just happened to be Black.She's Savvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581145525992150337noreply@blogger.com
