So the morale is slap your black kids?


So the single black mom has totally misbehaving kids. Would you like me to vapourize them? Lol!!!

Morale of the story - black moms don't discipline their kids and the fathers are off being dirt bags.

So is Seth saying kill all black kids???

I wouldn't be surprised if he were prejudice because The Cleveland Show had stereotypical black characters and Brian in Family Guy was a racist dog

There was no father since she couldn't find a husband and decided to be a single parent. Probably artificial insemination or future equivalent. It does play into a stereotype though. It would've been better if she were widowed.

I'm on the fence re: the unruly kids. On the one hand, kids realistically tend to be bratty at times and their overachieving only parent was busy working and earning multiple degrees. On the other hand, one of those degrees is psychiatry so you'd think she'd be a better parent.

I think she happened to be black. Making the kids bratty because she's black, or trying to frame it that way as a viewer, would be bigoted.

nothing wrong with a slap in the right moment. It works wonders.
