		<description>All this whining about black character actors that play roles that may be perceived as stereotypical sounds to me like sour grapes.  These people are working and earning a living people!  e.g. The distinguished and handsome man on the &quot;uncle&quot; ben rice box does me no harm . . . . aunt jemima neither.  In the inimitable words of my Alabama cousin (now deceased):  Don&#039;t knock the shovel out of my hand.</description>

		<description>OH MY GOD THIS BLOG IS AMAZING. I laughed SO damn hard reading this. Though I gotta agree with the above person who appreciated Kyle for the contrast he brought to the show&#039;s dynamic. It would not have been the same without him...they needed that character there, especially as a foil for Max and more importantly as the yin to Overton&#039;s yang.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Best of all though, you put Diane Amos out on front street. And those fake braids that SCREAM 1995.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am SO glad somebody called out the Honey Bunches woman. She bugs like WHOA. And I totally believe she&#039;s a real factory worker they plucked for that first ad, because there is no way they woulda chosen someone THAT weird looking. Now, I&#039;m not one to whip out the &quot;mammy&quot; accusations much, but I get disgusted and embarrassed every time I see her because I feel like they took some random laborer and made her a pseudo-mammy to shill their product to the masses. It&#039;s kinda gross.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don&#039;t know ANYBODY who doesn&#039;t hate &quot;Tony Sinclair.&quot; What the hell is the deal with that character?</description>

		<description>It is funny I thought I was the only person bothered by the Universal Studios lady. If I was those kids I will be yelling out, &lt;i&gt;Get her off us, we don&#039;t even know this woman! Our parents are at the Batman Adventure. Get her off us, please! I can&#039;t breath! Cough, cough!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I also found that Honey Bunches of Oats lady annoying.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I liked the Kyle Barker character from Living Single. Not as much from a personal level, but I liked his dynamic on the show. Especially in contrast to Overton, Max and even Regine. I think his character was placed on the show to give that kind of dislike contrast. Thus, much of what he said was offensive to the female characters on the show. The episode in the first season at the club, when Kyle was getting dissed left and right was classic. Also, when he got caught seeing two different women was funny to me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When I was in college I had a friend who was almost exactly like the Kyle Barker character. I also had a fraternity brother, (actually my line brother) who acted just like Overton &quot;Wakefield&quot; Jones. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There was one episode where Kyle is talking about not wanting to seem sexist to a female exec, when Overton says to him, &lt;i&gt;But you are sexist.&lt;/i&gt; Kyle response was, &lt;i&gt;All the more reason not to seem so.&lt;/i&gt; That sounded like a typical exchange between a few of my friends on college. So I can understand how a character like that could be annoying.</description>
