Is it me or did anyone else find it offensive, that the wife of Director Vance commented on the children not being home as "you ain't never home". Is this what the producer thinks, that all black people speak with slang and double negatives?

I honestly did not find it offensive. She spoke with excellent grammar and was portrayed as educated, nothing to suggest stereotyping. I thought that her use of slang was just her trying to present a fact that may hurt her husbands feelings, and softening it up by making a joke of it, i.e. using intentionally bad grammar that made her comment sound more personal and playful.

i don't think it was inteded to be offensive though i totally see where you're coming from. it may have been the actress's deviation from her script in an attempt to see more human; all people make mistakes and many people do not speak in a grammatically correct manner. it could also have been a mere mistake on her part that they decided not to change as the rest of the scene was done quite well.

Seriously, I didn't even notice so it apparently didn't bother me. I think that there are times when many different people from all walks of life are not really portrayed in a positive light. I guess I deal with people by what I know of then in my real life.
