I can 100% relate to this. My parents were the first generation to get out of the ghetto on both sides. They both went to college and worked hard to be successful. My siblings and I grew up in a middle upper class neighborhood. A lot of people in the "black community" hate us for it. I get called "white" all the time because i speak properly which is so ignorant. You cant speak a race, i know white and black guys who barely speak english. My mom calls the ghetto "a crawlfish boil" when one crawl fish starts to climb out of the pot the others will do anything they can to pull it back down. And thats exactly what ive experienced even from my own cousins. One cousin said "you think youre too good for me." and i said "ive never thought i was too good for you, the fact that you say that tells me maybe youre the one who thinks im too good and im sorry you feel that way but to me youre my cousin and i love you." I think thats the day we really bonded because hes been coming around a lot more ever since we had that conversation.

"He is EXACTLY what your fraternity needs!" And he gave up a spot being in their clique because he wasn't about to leave his cousin hanging.

That's why you have to do and endure what makes it painful to handle it. He grew up in Philly and has known at a young age how unfair life was for him growing up. Had no father A cruel neighborhood Racism Poverty But learned to be more independent and open minded to learn things quicker when he is serious and was tought the value of hard work. Carlton however, grew up with everything a little boy could ever want. A hard working family that support him and love him and is there every moment. All the money he could ever want and a home that was state of the art and a school that was successful and clean But the downside was that he never knew the real truth to what happens every day to those who weren't as privileged and lucky. Because of this he at the beginning, though racism and discrimination didn't exist, even siding the racist cop who arrested them because ehe believed he was doing his job. And the only reason he realized what he was told were just fairy tales, was when will took the bullet for him.

Ironically it's people like him that different groups need to unite & reach harmony. Today he runs his own organization and is a board member for 3 more that helps fight this kind of prejudice - from both sides. Helping his community members integrate into the class they deserve while conserving cultures to keep newer generations in touch with their roots.

Carlton's dancing was awesome. That girl thought he was so cute.

"When are we gonna stop doing this to each other?" Oh man, if only you knew

I didn't like that Carlton got called a sellout all because his family had money. Having money doesn't make you a sellout. His father wanted to succeed so he did it didn't matter that he was black. You don't have to be white to have money just like you don't have to be black to be ghetto it goes both ways. Everyone can make money and everyone can be broke. It's how you decide how you want your life to be that really matters. Edit: I’m going to start by saying this because this seems to really matter in my comment section but I am Mexican and European but I am from the ghetto of a terrible city and that is not something I’m proud of but it’s where I come from. I went to bad schools and still got my education. I lived in many different houses and got into many different problems from fighting to drinking. Hung out with bad people that wouldn’t get me anywhere and taught me the wrong side of life and where I didn’t want to be. I also had cops a WHOLE damn police station know who I was until I was sixteen because of all my bad things I did and I’m still not proud of that but I still made it past that because I didn’t want to be stuck. Being stuck is like a weight on your chest. I held myself accountable for my actions and did my best being the better person I knew I could be. I was the first one in my family to graduate out of six (I’m my moms 4th child just to clarify) of my moms kids and the first one to graduate from college with my own degrees. I worked hard granted I had a few slip ups getting there like getting kicked out of high school but I went some place better for myself and got straight A’s until I graduated which happened a year earlier than I was supposed to which is something I’m proud of. Everything in my life that I witnessed made me even more determined to make something of myself for myself because I refused to be my mother or my surroundings so I do believe if your a person who is determined to see change in your life you will get the change you want even if you have to fight like hell to get it. I bet your probably wondering why I wrote this all of a sudden it’s because I want everyone whatever nationality or ethnicity you are to know if you want to be better you can be better even if someone is trying to weigh you down. I believe in you and what you want to become. If no one believes in you that’s when you have to believe in yourself more. Prove those assholes wrong 😑

Racism, prejudice, lack of support doesn't just happen to Black people. It shouldn't happen to anyone.

I love how both will and Carlton stood up for eachother

My father is Black American. My mother is Dominican. For my Black folks, I'm not "black enough" because of my Dominican side. For my Dominican side, I'm not "dominican enough" because of my Black American side. Needless to say, the biggest racism I have experience has been at the hands of my own people. Go figure! 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

“Being black isn’t what I’m trying to be, it’s who I am. I’m running the same race and jumping the same hoops as you so why are you tripping me up.” This reminds me of the Season 1 episode ‘Mistaken Identity’ where it was because of Will and Carlton being black that they were thrown in jail by that cop.

I didn't appreciate it until I got older. We weren't trying to be better than nobody

This scene taught me a valuable lesson. Sometimes, you can’t trust your own people, even if you’ve gone through the same struggles. They don’t want you to succeed, but we need people to break the mold. Edit: I hate that I even have to explain this. It’s obvious a few readers have fortunately never had to go through this. This isn’t always a race thing, no, you couldn’t be MORE wrong. It can be your community, your school, a workplace, etc. Money isn’t always a contributing factor either. Overall, it’s people being jealous of your success. It all stems down to jealousy. In MY experience, I was unfortunate to have people who look like me judge me for wanting to succeed.

More episodes than what you just said you think the show is about actually, "the self-destructiveness of 'black' culture." Lol, I can't believe 8 people were dumb enough to actually agree with you when you said something so stupid regarding what the Fresh Prince was about but my expectations on the intelligence of people in youtube comments hits a new low every year. This episode on accepting privileged classes rather than utilizing classism is actually rather an exception on what the show is typically about but the show in general has a rather wide lens when tackling more serious topics. It's a good thing too considering this is often not a problem people deal with in real life, at least not in the perspective of having people be classist towards rich people. That's especially true with the demographic of black people given most haven't been able to grow generational wealth due to slavery and its systemic consequences.

One thing that I do love about the show and always did was that a touched on very serious subjects. And unlike most sitcoms, it wasn't always a happy ending. Unfortunately, a lot of times, people do have to deal with things like this. it's sad, but it's true, and it's not always an easy way to go through it or resolve cleanly. Unfortunately, in a lot of minority communities , we want to see success within our own group. However, when success comes, we then judge the people and say that they are sellouts and are seen as the enemy. For me, I'm a Latino man, and I always wanted to go into the sciences as a zoologist, and there are some people who have responded the same way. Even within my own family, I have dealt with people questioning, questioning me, and questioning whether I was enough. We should be championing each other, not tearing each other down; we deal with that enough.

As a biracial kid in a predominantly latino community. I was always too light skinned for the hood, too dark to pass as white. Got fucked with for having a solid vocabulary, and got profiled in predominantly white neighborhoods so often that i struggled to find comfort in my own identity well past my adolescent years. But it forced me to develop a deeper understanding for life and its nuances. More importantly though, it gave me a stronger sense of what it means to love and accept people. Silver linings and what-not 🤷🏾‍♂️

No matter what your skin color is, you're ALWAYS going to run into this. It isn't about Carlton being black, it's because he was successful and HAPPY while the other guy was basically a loser and could not stand the sight of someone else getting ahead while he thought that anyone that he considered in his circle(black skin) should stay like him. I ran into the exact same scenario when I joined the Marine Corps to avoid being a factory worker in Louisiana. Both my friends(they stopped being friends after that) and family tried everything they could to hold me back. And I'm white as snow. My daughter had the same problem too. When she left high school she got a job doing payroll for a business, and started making good money, and her childhood friend who started getting into trouble tried to make her feel bad from being successful. This has nothing to do with skin color, but from people being in shock when someone like them works hard and reaps the rewards.

In the past, Will had made fun of Carlton for being ‘not black enough’ but when it came down to it, he had his cousin’s back, without hesitation

Couldn't make a show like this anymore ... they'd have to add 30min of cringe exposition. Telling us, instead of showing us :(
