Why are the Palmers not living in a house, too?


White couple living in a house. Black couple in an apartment. What's the deal?

reply

There was an episode when the white family tried to get the black family to buy the house next door to them but the black family didn't want to because they hate the white family.

reply

But why didn't the Palmers own a house right from the beginning?
But I agree: The Palmers not wanting to live next to their "best friends" is just mean-spirited for a sitcom.

Because Hollywood is run by liberals, they hate black people. Just look at how they don't gives two shits about black on black Chicago crime.

Well that's simple.

The Palmers had two kids, and only Deacon worked. Kelly was a stay-at-home mom.

The Heffernans had no kids (just Aurthur), and two full-time incomes.

In other words, the black family had half the income and twice the dependents. The white couple had twice the income and half the dependents. Who do you think is gonna be able to buy a house first?

Race has nothing to do with it.
