I think I watched every episode

James is still alive though he died on the show

Thelma was cute....nice figure with a conventional apple butt any girl of any color could be proud of

Now what’s cinsidered a fine tropical African butt is a cellulite ridden pair of humps in the 42-55 inch circumference

Grotesque

RIP Mama.....I think Esther was from Turks or Eluthera

She reminded me of old school black women who helped the raise me

Michael was always the black militant on the show

I got my first and last taste of that when he said if America is (fill in the blanks, I honestly don't remember) why are we still in the projects... as if it was America's job to get him out of the projects and America was a failure.
