Leading The Regime
So watching the Cosby show caused me to come to a bit of a disheartening realization. I used to love the show growing up because I thought it was a depiction of a strong, black family unit that anyone would aspire to attain. The realization is that something like this just isn't feasible in the type of society we live in today. I haven't given up all hope or anything like that but my rosey colored glasses have been long removed and discarded.
Take a look at Claire, you have a beautiful woman working for a prestigious law firm but yet her kids, and husband are always a top priority. She doesn't moan and groan about having to clean up, or cook for her family. Her husband also happily helps out when he can, and shows his appreciation for all the things she does. I know this was just a show but let's not pretend that television doesn't heavily influence generations of people whether it be positively or negatively. I've made peace with the fact that I may just end up only having women for periods of time in my life rather than a wife per se. Any of you fellas come up watching as well thinking you'd find your Claire Huxtable?
