Also...speaking of racism.Seems like black ppl (in america)really felt into the trap,Feeling inferior for the color once,now trying to label everything black.Thats just an inferiority complex
Jesus was not black nor white but brown just like Jews were at the time.And if you dont wanna believe fine but if u do believe Jesus was God,why would color matter.?u are not worshipping the man in Jesus but the deity.!God took human form and any would do ,since all people/souls are from god
Esther Rolle's part wwas the typical God-fearing Mom, is all. If the Evans family was to be practical & take the means to get out of the 'hood', thaat would've killed the show. --that would be like Gilligan not screwing up the castaways chances to get off the island. He HAD to be stupid, & mess up their chances, it would kill the show.
So wrong for saying that i believe she got part because she was what they where looking for. Sometimes. Look. Don't have anything to do with the. Part. I like. Her. Character she did her part.
FLORIDAS DUMB ASS IS WHY THEY STAYED IN THE GHETTO WITH HER WHITE JESUS.WHY WOULD ANY SO CALLED NEGRO OR LATINA WORSHIP THE GOD OF THEIR SLAVE MASTER? WHITE SPANISH CONQUISTADORS ENSLAVED THE MINDS OF THE 10 TRIBES NATIVE AMER& MEXICO TO SOUTH AMERICA(ISRAEL) AND JUDAH (NEGROS,W INDES&CARRIBEAN.
@THEMETALBABE Hey jive sucka lot of niggas still in the ghetto so whatever you call yo self hebrew jew or cashew hell you coulda descended from the plate lipped woodstump doornocker earring wearin red clay ringneck tribe on national geographic but dont trip choco chip maybe your right but dont be disrespectin Florida muthafuckin Evans...got that nuh?
Norman Lear the Producer was a white faggot racist asshole who only wanted to show the stereotypes of black folks and black ghetto life. He and amos came to blows many times because amos got tired of the stereotypes. Lear saw him as a threat because he was a strong intelligent blackman. Lear had his character(James) killed off the show. originally he didnt want ester rolle to have a husband, he wanted her to be a single mother with children she said in an interview years later.
By the way, I know Ester Rolle STAYED getting hate mail for her character! This may come out sounding fucked up but they should have not only changed Florida Evans personality but they should have also made a different person play her altogether because she was NOT attractive at all. Hell, I think Willona would have been a better choice.
Remember the time James found all that money? Well, her ol' stupid ass HAD to put it in James mind that giving the money to the police was "the right thing to do". It was like she was happy to be broke as hell strugglin. Her character was so full of shit and was the ultimate boot licker.
I hate to see it but Florida was a dumb ass. They had so many oppurtunities to get out of the hood (The worst projects in America to be more specific) but she always had to ruin their blessings. CONT
a good show but man Florida must enjoy being poor just so long as her family keeps their vaules in place.. she is a lot like Lamont a goody two shoes. everytime they have a chance to move up in life and make things better for them she shoots it down because it is in her mind "NOT the right way. to do things. she is the lone person who doesn't believe in taking shortcuts.
@Astraldragon1 well the white man has construced black people to be in one position from welfare to poor payin jobs an flow accepts it greatly this is her life an nothing else greater when she prays she says even on the show prayin for a better life money gettin out the ghetto is a sin she said thank god for what you got not what you want witch i think is bullshit so you mean to tell me a homeless person should thank god for being homeless?? lol get the fuck outta here!!!
@buggeazy102 well technically she is right.any religious charachter like the one she plays would say >Praying is to thank god for what u have not to ask.,But if u were to ask ,would definitely not be for money but for health and staying safe.Because everything is supposedly always in the right place.Thats why bible sais that entering christian life is not reason 2start fighting out of slavery.As each enters so he should be .But if u have the chance to get out then u sure must grab it.
@delagrazia the way i look at it as a two sided view i agree on ya comment but do you realy think rich people will turn in thier money for health and safty aha aha no way health and safty cant pay your bills on the other hand without health when you die you cant take the money with you so whats a person to do?
@buggeazy102 That was to keep people in peace with themselves and it was helpfull coz at difficult times they d try for the best while pleased with what they have ,canalizing energy in anger of not having what they want would be a waste.or asking god something and then get angry they didn get it..Jesus before crucifiction said >may i not pass this ,but not my will but Yours shall be done!(what if He had avoided it in order to marry .and have children and keep teaching
@buggeazy102 .He would have made some ppl happy but wouldnt have served hid highest purpose helping as many more ppl as possible by His example(same way ppl say "what god wishes".So in your example the homeless should try to better his life but if that delays then being gods will, its for a higher purpose that would show up later in life.maybe there is a lesson to be learned .maybe he ll get rich later and he needs this experience to never forget to help other poor [ppl.
@buggeazy102or maybe by staying in the street will meet someone imprtnt for his life=soul.maybe a teacher for ex.or maybe he ll have the chance to save someones life from a car accident etc
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Way back before Jesus was born everybody on the planet was dark skinned (Black if you will) Then God wanted a change so he created this big pond of Holy purified water so everybody from around the world can jump in and come out purified or (WHITE if you will) Well about time this last group of dark skinned people got there they only had a half inch left, just enough to put their hands and feet in.
The point is what Jesus Does. Focusing on color, replaces the time we spend with Him. not alone puts the Most High in a box. futhermore, we, and i mean all, are not suppose to have images in our home in the 1rst place. Thats not suppose to be our focus at all. Remember that.
You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
who gives a good GD FK what color he is, did he or did he not make the world of many colors to sight get a grip lose the color shit god doesnt care about color why do you people
The differents is the truth verses a lie,the real Jews being Black and christ. Roman 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
yeah florida was the worst character anything to help them get out of the ghetto she had to open her big fat mouth and say some shit, morals can only get one so far. i say when u are that down and out...fuck it, take the goddamn money or any kind of luck and roll with it. anyone disagrees you are just as retarded as she was.
@ChicagoTyme Thelma's a bitch for those remarks. my sister is 19 years old and to this day i don't make those kind of remarks. James should of beaten her tail for that. You shouldn't down your own brother/sister like that even if it is the truth. what thelma should of done is give him some encoragement boost his self esteem up instead of downing him like that.
@jsutiger07 Oh damn, I forgot I posted here lol. Yeah your right about Thelma. They were so use to cracking on each other, that she didn't know when to quit while she was ahead. This time she wasn't cracking on her brother, she was downing him and that wasn't cool. James wouldn't have hit for that, but he would had set her ass in her place. That's one thing about he and Florida, they didn't like or let nobody putting down their kids. Including each other.
you ain't lyin! These brothers in South Dallas get one dollar and they are set for a week! Remember when the Jamaicans took over South Dallas! Only war before 911
When 5 dolllars was enough for some spending money back in those days. Nowadays people want 20 dollars, 50, or 100. Imagine what you could do with 5 dollars back in those days.
Not according to this Pastor from Arlington, Tx named Hornbuckle....He said you need a least 1,000 to hang with him....A 100 will allow you to only speak to him....um um um um
does anybody have any episodes from season 5 could ya post them if ya have them thanks i just cant find season 5 in the stores any where and i dont wanna order off of the internet
Almost everything that made this show great was in it: James's honesty, Florida's religion, racial controversy, poverty sprinkled with hope and opportunity, and the rich references to ghetto life that made this show stand out so well, then and now.
Jimmie Walker was born 6/25/1947 and Jimmie Walker was born in 1939 December 27 the 2 are only 8 years apart, and Esther Roll (RIP) was born 11/08/1920 old enough to be both their mother's.
John Amos(the father). He was killed off because he pissed off some people who worked on the show(he was fired because of it). He and Esther Rolle(the wife) did not like the fact that the writers had made the JJ character the focus because they wanted to do meaningful stuff with the show and the writers in their opinions spent too much time coming up with silliness for JJ, a character that Amos and Rolle didn't think should have been the focus. Amos publicly criticized the show and was fired.
Esther Rolle left because she felt JJ was a bad example for kids. She felt that they were getting the impression that all that had to do was stand on the corner, clap their hands and shout DYN-O-MITE and be rich. She came back for the final season. Fortunatly, he showed some maturity the final 2 seasons. Especially when Michael was unruly and got arrested. He grounded Michael but later expressed regret at not being a better example as a big brother. That was from the episode, Junior the Senior.
@vacuumcleanerbot right but they had a few good shows after he died when janet jackson came on as penny an her crazy mother that was a big lift for the show
it is very interesting that this particular episode of so-called good times popped up while I was viewing footage on historic accounts of the true Isaelites. Back then Black people were even More unconscious to the reality of who they really are.
The Brits are cool----I am an American with the Cockney influence. Plus, African and native ---I am pride to be alive and I love all my Bros and Sis. Let us look beyond colour and celebrate life. We all came from Adam and Eve. yes!! Cool! (they caused us trouble, but we are from them. They are our first parents.
The leisure suits looked good on almost everyone back then but sometimes people would over do it a little. One example would be Dr. Jack Ramsey, when he coached the Portland Trail Blazers. I remember him wearin a checkered-lookin suit with a pink shirt. Now that just looked ridiculous, even for that time.
I truly miss this show! The Afro American family as well as the Afro centric community needs this show. It served serves and well serve a purpose that is severely lacking in this country.
"Whenever you did it to the least of these children of mine, you did it unto me." Doesn't that indeed mean that JJ, by honouring Ned the wino in this way, honours Jesus? Just a thought.
That is a picture of Michelangelo's uncle, LOL!!

it is very interesting that this particular episode of so-called good times popped up while I was viewing footage on historic accounts of the true Isaelites. Back then Black people were even More unconscious to the reality of who they really are.

The Brits are cool----I am an American with the Cockney influence. Plus, African and native ---I am pride to be alive and I love all my Bros and Sis. Let us look beyond colour and celebrate life. We all came from Adam and Eve. yes!! Cool! (they caused us trouble, but we are from them. They are our first parents.

The leisure suits looked good on almost everyone back then but sometimes people would over do it a little. One example would be Dr. Jack Ramsey, when he coached the Portland Trail Blazers. I remember him wearin a checkered-lookin suit with a pink shirt. Now that just looked ridiculous, even for that time.

They ended this show at the right time in 79' because if they would've took it into the 80s they would've had to change the whole style up.

I truly miss this show! The Afro American family as well as the Afro centric community needs this show. It served serves and well serve a purpose that is severely lacking in this country.

"Whenever you did it to the least of these children of mine, you did it unto me." Doesn't that indeed mean that JJ, by honouring Ned the wino in this way, honours Jesus? Just a thought.
