Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson (Debra Wilson) is a meter maid from Hawthorne, California, who makes extensive use of ebonics when speaking. She is typically arrogant, rude, and insensitive. Bunifa often labels other characters' commonplace, expected actions (such as an airport security guard screening her) as being motivated by racism. She often rapidly shifts moods at mild stimuli for comedic effect, aggressively arguing with characters one moment, then talking daintily with them seconds afterward. She frequently is seen on her mobile phone talking to her friend Sonya, who is never seen.
She meets her match in Miss Katisha Latisha Parisha Farisha Johnson (guest star Tyra Banks) who is the manager of a fashion store. They initially quarrel, but in the end become friends and go out to have a drink.

Famous quotes containing the word jackson:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
