What used to be considered normal for every parent is now considered brilliant, amazing and fabulous.

I wish it could be considered normal, but it never really was except through rose tinted glasses.

I worked with kids for several years in church, and I got to see a wide variety of kids and a wide variety of parents. Most parents are... not this good. Not nearly as bad as the worst, but often lacking.

This is what we saw on The Andy Griffith Show and Leave it to Beaver and set our expectations, but it is not really the norm.

Good on this dad for parenting well in public and setting an example. He sees a cultural segment in need of hearing his message, and he speaks to them. He is a great example to prove both ghetto culture and anti-black racists wrong.
