TV Character for First Week's Readings

I think that the character that best represent's the readings from the fist week would be Bill Cosby. I believe that he was the best example for this assignment because he could have been viewed in various forms. He was a father, a successful doctor, a husband who at times made mistakes and also a great friend to his family and friends. Cosby was not only a serious father but he had times where he would be silly and helpful to help his family and friends overcome hardships. The notion that Cosby was a successful doctor was a bonus to his character because it took away from the stereotype of a lazy black man. He was a strong man providing for his family. He did not show traits of being over sexual, his character was not shown cheating on his wife or leaving his family. Throughout all the problems they had on the show Cosby found a way to work it out showing is diversity as a character and black male.
