Agreed. Considering she was taken for a psychological evaluation....just nuts seems about right. Interestingly, 26-year old Laneisha Henderson is a decorated Navy veteran who received medals for good conduct. I'm sure we'll hear what may have pushed her over the edge that day. This could have been an attempt to get the Veteran's Administration to increase her disability percentage.🤣 Seriously, mental health issues are running rampant in this country and need to be handled accordingly.😎

@Pioneer1Stefan is right about you and the silly off-the-wall topics you dredge up. The idea that prostitution is an ideal alternate career choice for rebellious housewives seeking independence, is ludicrous!. Selling their bodies for profit is a less than ideal career pursuit, and better left to the drug addicts who usually resort to this vocation to support their habit. As for Call girls and Madams, these aren't the type of professions that will fill the kids of desperate housewives with pride, not to mention the danger involved in these jobs, and I question your assertion that a lot of ex-housewives have chosen to do this. Update your scenario. It's not an accurate portrait of what's current. Few women of today restrict themselves to being housewives unless they want to, and some women actually do prefer this domestic role. Then in another post, there's the graphic and exaggerated female product commercials you chide black women for allowing themselves to be cast in. i don't recall these ads featuring women of color any more than white ones or the ads being as gross as you describe them. Stuck to your half-cocked ideas about current events and stop taking on the role of spokesperson for black women!

The first TV sitcom with an all-black cast was Amos 'n Andy which first appeared on television beginning in 1951, running for 3 more years. It was based on a radio show whose black characters were originally played by white actors in dialect. This TV show was quite funny and wasn't that stereotypical; it didn't preach or send a message but, like Sanford and Son, was just about hapless characters who could've been of any race. Still, at that time, there were those who panned it. In hindsight, however, this show is now given credit being in the van guard of its genre. I don't know who directed or produced it but it wasn't Norman Lear. You can get more information by Googling it, and watching episodes from it on YouTube.

HIs shows had spin-offs after spin-offs....lol. I think Maud was a spin-off of All In The Family. The Jeffersons was a spin-off of All In The Family. Esther Roll and John Amos played in Maud and later got together for Good Times. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE those old shows. They were more "real" with their social commentary than a lot of the shit we see on television (if you even watch it) today. They were talking about the President, saying "nigga", addressing the most controversial issues of the time....openly. And they had LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCES who added to the entertainment.
