She goes out into the yard and hands her husband a hammer while he's on a ladder, working on the roof.
All well and good, but it did seem a tad "unusual".
But it in no way bothered me.
I remember Spike Lee's Jungle Fever movie, where Wesley Snipe's no-goodnik brother (Samuel Jackson) says:
"Whenever you see a brother with a white woman, she's usually fat or ugly. When you see a white dude with a black woman, she always be slammin'". As in "hot".
This has been a routine for black comedians for decades.
Damon Wayans had a joke that went like that.
In real life, I remember buying a TV at a flea market from a couple, where the man was this scrawny, ugly dude, and his wife was black, and fat.
They had several bi-racial kids.
Maybe it happens more often than I thought.
It also seems not uncommon when both people are very religious.
I think the people who have the biggest problem with black men/white women couples is that OTHER black women REALLY hate seeing "their" men rejecting them, and going for a white chick.
Talk about getting the stink-eye.
