The likable, complex character Darryl Hughley is a successful, self-made African-American business owner - a vending machine magnate overseeing Hughley Vending - born and raised near working class Compton, California. Now, he lives a decidedly different, upwardly mobile lifestyle in a homogeneous (or "pasty white" as he considers it) suburb of Los Angeles, hyper-aware of the possibility that he is "selling out" by living in this white community.
While Darryl is not convinced buying into this swank area was the best move for his family, his wife Yvonne and their two children, Sydney and Michael, have acclimated just fine, finding good friends in the people across the street, the Rogers. Darryl worries that he needs to keep his African-American roots and teach his kids their heritage, that his children are growing up rich and spoiled, and that it's up to him to show them what it was like to grow up poor.
The show and its creator have each received People's Choice Award nominations. The NAACP has nominated Ashley Monique Clark and Elise Neal and D.L. Hughley (twice!) for an Image Award. |
