What's sad, is, there are still people who treat others like this. When are we going to learn we are ONE. I could listen to Shirley's speech all day. This show is classic for a reason!
The key word in my last comment was POWER not White, Not Black. POWER=THOSE WITH GREEN think about it before you respond to that last comment of mine because the way you view that comment will reveal what type of person you are if you see color of skin in what I said.
Rich Vs. Poor
Educated Vs. Non Educated
We all should be each others keeper. Thats how our Creator intended it would you agree, or would you say He created us to obtain riches and not share opportunity with our brothers?
Those in power abuse thier power to the benefit of those who surround the power granted. Unfortunately with that said, Some form of eqaulity bar must be set. Whether it be called Affirmative Action or something else. I would prefer to call for two things, community reperations and/or repatriation, It truly is not fair for whole communities to live in impoverished environments while those who surround power eat it luxury, yeah they may have worked for it, but who gave the chance?
By those of us posting our comments on this classic tv sitcom. I hope veiwers would take consideration of making it possible that it will be aired on television and get rid of some of these today reality shows which are garbage to me. BET needs to take a look at this and be a candidate. Not that it will take us back to the old ways but at least it will bring good insight to our young today. This is natural African American beauty!
The show teaches real life issues, the folks that run the Television Advertising Industry won't allow W.H. to be aired again because it goes contrast to the marketing.They dont think to create a new market to tap in to a whole new niche market, but they don't want positive energy put forth, instead BET gives our children AMERICAN GANGSTER to learn from for example. The rabbit hole is too deep for the mainstream to accept this show again, unfortunately TV is only about product marketing. 1Luv
well said,, an sooooooooooooooooo true!,,,, its a real shame whats going on, on TV these days,, a real shame, thank god we had this show, it was top notch, an it had great story lines, man that show every body hates Chris is a racist stupid poor put together show i feel so sorry for these kids growing up in a soulless world..*(
See, this is a good example of how white people can be racist even when they are trying to do something good. Shirley didn't want to be hired just because she was black just like she wouldn't want tobe overlooked for the job just because she was black. We need to just hire people that are qualified and not get race involved. This still happens today. Thanks affirmitive action!
This is the perfect argument AGAINST affirmative action. I am what society would call a "minority" and I NEVER fill out those questionaires about race, sex, etc. I don't want to be hired for anything other than being the best candidate.
Maybe there was a time when affirmative action was needed, but 2009 is not that time.
I agree with everything you just said. My "thanks affirmitive action" at the end was meant to be sarcastic. And I don't fill out those questionaires either :)
with this said, shirley really wasn't qualified she was a waitress......however, she still deserved an opportunity to proove herself that she could perfom, be trained in the job, and learn something new to benefit herself.
This show is a classic !

@JaszeyChasez. Shut.up. To think that affirmative action is not needed in 2009 is retarded.
