Is it "racist" that I posted this in General Chat instead of Breaking News?
Things were really racist when I was little, we didn’t even have a color TV in our house.
Is there a category labeled "death wish?"
“hey hey hey hey - whasshappin Rog?”
I guess she never watched Star Trek, eh?
What the hell ever she was...as if anybody cares.
She's currently a hypocritical race-baiting fat ass, and any thing she has to say on any thing is of absolutely no interest to me.
And I suspect quite a few other people, as well.
I'm tired of pontificating liberal ass wipes.
And that includes her buddy, obama and that mouthy Sasquatch he's married to.
Fed up, I am and I ain't staying quiet about it no more.
There were blacks in the early Perry Mason shows. Asians too.
Blacks have created movies in the early days of hollywood.
All one has to do is go to the library and discover...oh wait...no one is expected to do that in public schools they’re too busy advancing lgbtqi doctrine!
I miss AMOS AND ANDY along with the Kingfisher and Samantha!
I miss Rochester of the Jack Benny Show!
I DON’T remember Farina, Stymie or Buckwheat being made fun of any more than the other OUR GANG members.
And I’m getting pretty sick of that. It seems that every single movie now has to have at least one black. And every single commercial on TV has to have a black somewhere at the picnic table, sitting in the living room with whites, and you name it. Evert sports panel has to have at least one black.
Not bad when you consider that they’re barely 11% of our population. But they’re at least 1/3 to 1/2 of anyone in a commercial.
My buddy and I have a game to find the “black” whenever any commercial comes on. And very, very seldom do we ever NOT find one somewhere.
Oprah is sort of lying. Nat King Cole had a show in 1956 (when Oprah was two), and he was not the first black on TV. Cole was a major star. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_firsts
Greg Morris on Mission Impossible was absolutely terrific. One of my favorite TV characters ever. I also thought Ivan Dixon was very talented. He appeared in numerous shows before becoming a regular on Hogan’s Heroes, such as The Twilight Zone. These guys were and remain role models for intelligent, brave, and heroic men, but ignored by the black kids today who look up to thugs.
Who would you rather have as a role model for your kids: Oprah or Buckwheat?
Wikipedia credits someone that I knew, with having the second TV show starring an African-American woman.
“She was the second African-American woman to host her own television show — after Hazel Scott with The Hazel Scott Show on DuMont in 1950 — with The Hadda Brooks Show (1957)”
Buckwheat was much more entertaining than Oprah.
That is total B.S. It was nothing like today but Jack Benny, some other shows mentioned on the thread, I recall The Twilight Zone -- what we did not have was black personalities saying that old white people have to die to end racism as Winfrey was quoted.
Why is Oprah hating on Buckwheat? He was a goofball like the rest of them. Only Darla was lovely in any way. I suppose that ticks her off too. If only Michele Obama had been alive to be a little rascal!
Buckwheat Winfrey?
This just in: Buckwheat Winfrey! Also, liberals have no brains, part 5,280 [of the day].
They interview people today to talk about how bad things were 40-50 years ago, and then say or imply that it’s the same/no different today. Or that it might appear better but there’s still so much more to do.
All that crap.
Besides the Nazis, I mean.
In the very early years of TV, Nat King Cole had his OWN show.
In nearly all of the great Westerns, there would be an occasional Black character. It was proportional to the actual demographics of the old West, with freed slaves taking jobs as cowboys, cooks, railway workers, etc.
Star Trek introduced a “Charming Negress” as a primary character who appeared every week.
Julia was an RN who was a widow and supported her own children.
The Jeffersons moved on up.
Sanford & Son gave us memes that we still use to this day.
And Oprah is one of the richest people on the planet.
whine, whine, whine.
