Black people don't know what they want. In fact, I'd go as far to say that most black people are idiots.
That man is providing for and taking care of his family. Same people who are protesting the boycotting this show trying to make a big deal about it/calling it negative are the same people who will not watch when we have positive shows like "Reed Between the Lines", "Don't Sleep", "Let's Stay Together", granted the writing wasn't that great, but it was something black people could have supported, but choose not to.
People always want to complain, but when we have good stuff, that is setting a good example, no one wants to support it, or all they have is negative ish to say. So don't be surprised when no one wants to give the positive any time.
