* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The sequel for a lot of people. Not only did it already feel like a cash grab, many people questioned the characters because they were stereotypical tropes that didn't help the black community, and many see through it's attempts to be nothing more than a blatant cash grab. Some have even gone as far as to say no matter how much they reference James and the previous Evans, it doesn't feel like they're truly related at all.

* AcceptableTargets: JJ frequently mocked Bookman's weight.
** EVERYONE mocked Bookman's weight. Even his wife!
** Alderman Fred Davis was also heavily disliked by the Evanses, save James and JJ.
** JJ also disliked Alderman Davis after James' death. In a memorable episode, J.J. completely destroyed Davis in front of a podium of political peers. It backfired though, because this made more people vote for him.

* FairForItsDay: In addition to the VD episode, Florida's dismay of the eponymous "Black Jesus" painting, which she considered blasphemous. Her pushback on the idea of a non-white Jesus would've been far more common during the 1970s, especially with someone of Florida's age. Though she seemed to be less dismayed by the RaceLift than the fact that JJ made Jesus look like Ned The Wino.
