9 Black Sitcoms That Defied Preconceived Notions Of The African-American Family

Everybody Hates Chris
Chris’s naively racist teacher, Ms. Morello, marveled over the fact that Chris actually had a father or could even afford to donate canned goods. Defying stereotypes, Everybody Hates Chris follows a married, middle-income household. Rochelle Rock, Chris’ beautician mom, might be a little strict and intimidating, but it’s all because she strives to see her children succeed beyond street culture. Her husband, Julius, worked two jobs as a newspaper delivery man and a security guard. The Rocks have definitely exceeded Ms. Morello’s small-minded perceptions of the African-American household.
