From all these posts I can understand that you are not black nor know ANYTHING about the community. You should've looked a little closer into the movie than the color of the actors skins. When Terry && Gavin are sitting in the living room, Terry asks Gavin "Would you have ever believed we would have been as successful as we are?" They may not be the EXACT quote, but close to it. And it is true. Many blacks do not hold the super-high ranks in professions, which is such a shame. But this is just a few friends from college who worked hard, prayed and believed in God to make their dreams a reality. You make it seem like half the black population is in the film && all of them have high-ranked professions. Also, a black stereotype WAS included, Marcus having a ghetto, crazy ass baby mama. I think that's good enough of a stereotype.
I also agree with the other posters, the film did not say that they were extraordinally successful. Diane is a partner at a firm. It could just be an important one in her city. Terry owns his own practice. 1st off it is hard to become a doctor much less start your OWN practice and keep it running for however many years he has had it. Again, it could be a city-wide thing. Angela owns her salon with her own hair care products. If you were to go to an authentic all black hair care place, there are WALLS of different hair care products. Lady Angie could just be another jar on the wall. Patricia has a best-selling book and has also won an award but on in the Psychology part.
