The dojo scene for me was pretty contrived.  I'm not sure how realistic it would be to see so many black fathers present.  I think they wrote the scene b/c they know Milo could do the push ups.  Not sure what the point of the "extra" push ups were.  Why was white mom the only mom there?

What a racist comment! Do you really think most black men abandon their children? Do you really think that black fathers don't participate in their childrens' extracurricular activities? Look around at the family places you go and you will see black fathers present. Unless - your world doesn't include black families. [/quote]

Np here. Sorry that is so not racist. The tv show was showing an "ideal" which has not been true for AA families in the US for a long time. There are concrete stats. What they should have chosen to show were all the hard working single AA mothers supporting their sons!!![/quote]

It it racist. Many black families were two parent back in the 70s and early 80s. The breakdown came in the 80s when divorce among all women increased and in the 90s after the flooding of drugs into the black community and the war on drugs which incarcerated blacks at triple the rate of whites.
Getting back to the show, the black people at the country club were well to do, middle class, the black people that Rebecca and Jack interacted with were middle class successful blacks whose fathers were every bit as involved as Jack in their childrens' lives. That you find this so unbelievable is really ridiculous.[/quote]
