Try finding a DVD of Song of the South.

Try finding "Amos and Andy".

Try finding "Amos and Andy".

Plenty of episodes on Youtube. As a kid I always got a chuckle out of watching the Kingfish get his just reward at the end. Watching them more recently I noticed the black actor Roy Glenn, who played Mr. Prentice in the movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" in several of the episodes. I think he played a well-spoken lawyer or maybe a judge and such appearances would indicate that the Kingfish was not representative of black people in general.

Amos n Andy strikes me as a black version of "All in the Family". Many truths revealed because of or in spite of common stereotypes.

Or what about old Stepin Fechit movies?

Or old Charlie Chan movies??

Heck, how far do you want to go censoring things?

How can a classic sitcom such as “I Love Lucy” be allowed today? Lucy was a traditional housewife and it was clear that Ricky was head of the household.

Heck, what about Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver, or dozens of other family sitcoms of the past??? In all of those, you had a man of the house, and you had a wife who was in a traditional role.

If the liberals want to carry this to the extreme, very little of old TV shows or old movies would be permitted under their censorship.

>> Try finding “Amos and Andy”.

Amos and Andy is easy to obtain and since the copyright has expired, copies of the episodes are downloadable.
