"Daddy DY, why does MJ wear those horrible jeans?"
Shit that is old school. I watched Moesha recently, and I released I could be friends with her. She had problems.

He is going to play MLK before it is said and done.
OMG, you took it back. I forgot all about this show.
I'd rather Brad Pitt or some other fuck play him.

Goo Punch....that is all.Anybody remember this show?
There was only 13 episodes, and I swear there's was only 3-4 sets on this entire show. First Nick show to have an all-black cast

Really? I recently watched Moesha, and I couldn't stand her. So damn preachy.
Also, Frank Mitchell was one of the worst TV dads ever.
Yo damn.

Thanks for talking about Moesha now I have that title song in my head. Fudge.
Mo to the...

He was so completely ineffectual when it came to raising his kids. Moesha did whatever she wanted most of the time, and Frank spent so much time trying to "keep her off the pole" (as Chris Rock would say) that he had no time for Miles and later Dorian. The boys had to commit crimes for Frank to remember they existed, and even then, he just shoved them off on others (Miles got therapy, Dorian went to military school). Smh.
Sorry I meant I couldn't be friends with her. She is preachy and kind of stuck up.
Ahh. Her friends were cool though. To the point you wondered why they even hung out with her. Well, Hakeem was in it for the free meals. But beyond him? No idea.

Lawd @ this page. What theee fuck.
Is Jamie Foxx the only one to channel the look properly? Yeesh.

He was in the later seasons, yeah. True to the show's later soap opera form, he was originally Moesha's cousin, but was later revealed to be her half-brother. Frank knocked some chick up and had him.
the fuck
You said it yourself.
wow. frank is a real piece of shit. so he had moesha, cheated on his wife and had dorian, and then had miles with his wife?
Yup. Then didn't even really raise homie nor tell his kids (including Dorian). They had to find out from some random aunt.
Frank was an asshole.
I heard Lisa Turtle talking about some "We are living in the time of real prophecy, and people don't realize etc, etc, etc." Going on some really real stuff that I couldn't handle hearing come from somebody's mouth at that time. It's like, oh damn...she got Lauren Hill'd. Super religious and seeing all the crazy shit going on in the world, and taking it really seriously. And seeing her, it's just heart breaking. She probably doesn't even believe in psychiatric help anymore, but even her mom says she needs it.
Wasn't the only reason TP got the movie Alex Cross was because Idris Elba had schedule problems?
Aka didn't give a shit about the movie since he was making bank on Prometheus?
I just realized who Alex Cross was supposed to be. Now I'm doubly disappointed. Before, I was just upset that Tyler Perry got more work. But this was Morgan's old gig? Tyler Perry? Oh hell no. I would have gotten Ice Cube or more preferably Ice-T first. TP was just on deck I guess, because there are lots of black leads in the acting world who could probably have sold it better.

da fuck.
I know Nina Simone wasn't a classic beauty but they got her looking like a fat face/ ugly Zoe instead. They couldn't do her face to look like Nina Simone?
Also just saw the "my baby daddy" picture lol man
lord knows you don't want her driving you anywhere.

Whoa. I mean...............whoa.
She treated them like shit. And Q wasn't shit.
Right, Morgan Freeman was in the previous movies. The studio originally chose Idris Elba, but decided on Tyler Perry because he was a "bigger star".

Today I was at Applebees with someone and was faced with a dilemma that went to the core of my being: my waitress was shitty. I could tell almost immediately that she wasn't enthused to be serving me. For instance she forgot to bring me some sauce that came with my meal, then didn't even come close to our table for like 10 minutes; it was clear she had an attitude. She never refilled my drink unless I asked her too either, and when it came time for the bill she took like 10 minutes before casually throwing it on the desk without a word. In short, she figured I wasn't going to tip her anyway so why give a shit. The place wasn't even crowded so there was no excuse.
You might be saying "PD, if I was you I wouldn't give her a tip, then I'd ask to see the manager." That may seem logical to some, but you are overlooking a very important factor here: the black man's burden. If I didn't tip she would simply think "oh look I was right, another black person who doesn't tip." And thus the cycle would continue: I would be passing that burden to the next black man to bear, instead of bearing it myself and overcoming that shit. That's what black excellence is about. I gave her a 20% tip not because I wanted to or because she deserved it, but because maybe - just maybe - the next black guy who receives her service will get treated better because of my good work. And in turn he'll give a good tip, making her even more receptive to serving black people. And in time we would have built up enough black excellence in the food service community that this tipping stereotype will no longer exist.
We enter life a couple touchdowns behind, and thus have to over perform just to get ahead. Why do you think hyper tension and heart disease are so prevalent within the black community? Because this is a heavy burden to carry, and not everyone is up to the task; and even those that are will die before their time because of the pressure. There are only so many tips you can give, so much medium rare meat you can order, and so much baseball you can watch instead of football before the burden becomes too heavy and you die of a heart attack at 53.

Fuck her, you get a tip for good service. I'm not paying to make someone less of a dick. I'll tip good service so when she tries to bring race into a rant with her co-workers she can be met with waiters and waitresses who got theirs when they gave good service.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we're all about taking one for the team for the black community here at BCG. I hope it helps shift her perceptions and I understand why you tipped. I don't understand why you went to Applebee's though. Is there no Chilis around?

I tip when I get good service, I don't tip when I get bad service. Stereotypes don't flow through my mind when I decide if the service I received is worth my hard earned money
I did have a teacher in high school who used to carry a pen and sticky notes when he went to restaurants. If he got bad service, he would leave a sticky note on the table telling the waiter/waitress why he didn't leave a tip
