THEY WERE

Until LBJ’s “Great Society” ruined families.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Until I lived near the ‘hood, I thought that all black people were friendly and normal, if disadvantaged historically.

I was as naive as Oprah.

[MUDDOG]

Bill Clinton was like Eddie Haskell.

[a fool in paradise]

She had a stereotype that she would cling to, I guess.

>>Question: “I think you captured people’s minds by talking about issues that people weren’t talking about on television — race and sexual abuse.”

Phil Donahue, anyone?

[a fool in paradise]

Same time slot even.

Aunt Jemima isn’t running for anything except the refrigerator.

[Ann Archy]

Actually, Oprah, we WERE!! That is until the 60’s where EVERYTHING was turned upside down!

[Ancient Man]

And, I thought all black people were like George “Kingfish” Stevens, Sapphire and Andy Brown.

[jetson]

Oprah and Obama must have been smokin the same sh*t.

[Deplorable American1776]

Oprah: ‘I’m a jerk and I hate white waiters’. She is a moron, because I’ve seen her at restaurants in Hartford when her BFF was an anchor in Hartford.

[Drawsing]

It was never like Leave It To Beaver anywhere - if you mean an idealized “idea” of a perfect genteel family with no profound vices. Even some of the plot lines of some episodes of the show do a better job with reality than people’s idea of the show. There have always been broken families, alcoholism, infidelities, abuse and white trash behavior.

The difference, in those days, was that public acceptance and glorification of evil was not being forced upon us. Bad behavior, perversion etc... was recognized as bad behavior and was marginalized and frowned upon.

[Psalm 73]

"The Oprah: Until I Had My TV Show I Thought All White People Were Like Leave It to Beaver"

Funny - until Oprah's TV show I thought all black people were like Sanford and Son....

[JimRed]

Hmmm...Oprah, we never thought that all black people were like Amos & Andy...what’s THAT about?

[Lazamataz]

The Oprah: Until I Had My TV Show I Thought All White People Were Like Leave It to Beaver

Well, the joke's on you, Oprah. EVERY SINGLE WHITE PERSON is JUST LIKE A CHARACTER ON LEAVE IT TO BEAVER.

Or Gilligans Island.

Or Brady Bunch.

Or Hogans Heros.

[Crucial]

Oprah is guilty of objectifying whites like too many of her race.

[Delta 21]

Racist bitch.

[PhiloBedo]

Until I saw The Jefferson’s, I thought all black families were like Sanford and Son.
