The cosby show: The view from the black middle class Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • 2002 by Robin R. Means Coleman. Black people fail, they only have themselves to blame because any White person can point out the successful, affluent Black family on The Cosby Show and confirm their belief that affirmative action is no longer needed because Blacks now enjoy the same opportunities as Whites (Gates 1992).
