I hate the whole idea of it. But I think part of the problem is with black folks. Why can't we just enjoy the talents of white folks like Teena Maria, or appreciate the political style of Bill Clinton, without trying to make them "honorary" black folks.

It was truly awful. Both fathers made racist remarks and ended up getting into a huge fight. I didn't bother watching the rest of the show. My husband I just sat there wondering what was supposed to be funny. The only episode I ever caught was the one where they met “Boo-tay’s” parents. It was truly awful.

The daughter dated the black guy already and they broke up b/c she wouldn't give him any (lovely) where are you getting this info its soooo late. I had the misfortune of watching this horrible show last fall. I was deeply offended and its hard to do so, I'm not one of those who give white people "who are down" honorary black cards, so I'm not down with MR. Um, this shit happened already.

Talk about being insulting to those who really ARE in interracial relationships. Trust the FOX network to come up with something so stupid!

Just because he did the same act on Spike Lee's Bamboozled doesn't mean he can pull the same shit completely out of context!!!! Why the hell is Fox pulling the "I'm going to piss daddy off by dating a black guy" schtik?!? I swear seeing/reading/hearing shit like this makes me want to kick the next person who says "oh yeah, you know that asian/latino/black guy" What the hell is up with Michael Rappaport???

I recognize that I'm just jealous of his access--he can be down with black folks when he wants to--but if need be, he can "whiten up" and still reap the privileges of being a white male in america. Its like taking all the positives of being affiliated with black culture, with taking the bs that comes with it. Yeah–the whole Michael Rapport thing always bothered me.
