Good article here. I thought the Evans parents were one of the better examples of “sitcom parents” to follow. Not mentioned here was that Florida was also devoutly religious and they had a portrait of Christ featured prominently on the living room wall. I doubt a show like this could even be made today. No doubt with more James and Florida Evans’ style parenting, we’d have a lot less Trayvons running loose on the streets.
And no one would be named “Trayvon”, what a stupid name. I imagine it will only grow in popularity thanks to Trayvon Martin.
My mom told me she once saw a checkout girl named Levitra, her birth would have predated the drug, meaning it’s a coincidence. I guess those Black parents who choose to come up with bizarre new names for their kids draw on the same creative energies as drug companies.
Trayvon would be a good name for a hemorrhoid cream.
