Brother?" which satirized racist attitudes and overall cluelessness to black people + culture.<BR/><BR/>*Check out Lois' dad telling Peter's new black friends "My jacket is in the kitchen, please don't write on it" *<BR/><BR/>*Also check out Peter's pull-over encounter with a police officer after he becomes "black" *<BR/><BR/><BR/>On another note, it'll also be interesting to see whether or not the voice actors depicting Cleveland's family are black (Cleveland's actor is not).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186698165589554338.post-28784092500741049172008-05-18T11:47:00.000-04:002008-05-18T11:47:00.000-04:00IW, I guess I should watch some full episodes of '...IW, I guess I should watch some full episodes of 'Family Guy' and see for myself what the hype is all about... thanks!The Obenson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327489832781036602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186698165589554338.post-43880088812597310642008-05-18T00:16:00.000-04:002008-05-18T00:16:00.000-04:00I love Family Guy, but I've always had a huge prob...I love Family Guy, but I've always had a huge problem with it's depiction of blacks, and it's comments on black people and culture. It became such an issue, I almost stopped watching.
