    My read is that his show may have been more for white people, so they could see that black people can excel and share similar values.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    From hearing his comments to and about the black community, I'm pretty sure that he felt the Huxtables should be a model for blacks.

    Whether he also hoped for what you mentioned, it's certainly possible.

    A hedgemony is a dynasty. So a hegemonic message is a claim to a dynasty. In your essay, use the example of a thread about who is better, Kobe or LeBron. Or a thread about whether we should have taken Oden or Durant. That's a debate over a hedgemony, a hegemonic message. Related concepts are the hegemanic message, in which our virtuous dominant paradigms are opposed by crazy radicals, and the hedgehoggian message, in which an underlying truth surfaces to be re-examined in annual cycles.
