Different Strokes?
I was listening to XM today, when I heard the theme to 'Different Strokes', (It takes different strokes to move the world...) and it got me thinking. Before I say of what, if you don't recall the show, or particularly what was on screen as the theme played, this'll not make a lot of sense.
As the theme plays, Arnold and Willis (black youths) are playing basketball in Harlem, and then run off to the car of Mr. Drummond (white adult) and leave. The basic premise of the show is that they are adopted by this man. Here is what I thought:
Why is a rich, white man driving around in a limo in the ghetto, and then just picking up two seemingly random young black males? Why are they so eager to run to his car (since they don't know who he is yet)? And no one at all finds this.......odd?
