12592742, in what way did it push the envelope?

the concept is wealthy black family cant escape being black no matter their quality of life

race is a touchy issue in this country, but this was a very safe show with numerous instances of white folks being insensitive and not called on it.

SXSW 2013 a random white woman asked me, MistaGoodbar and my folks if we knew where the weed was (making sure to make "black homie" hand signals). I said "why, because we're black?" and stunned her. this show seems like a lot of tongue holding and pride swallowing around Mr. Charlie, and while that's reality it could be taken by whites as exaggeration given it's a comedy
