Barney was cute and actually had love for and interest in his wife. Fred had zero interest in Wilma and treated her like she was his mother. So Barney was a little dumb. You could still have fun with him.

>>The solutions, though, suggest a general direction: Don’t simply ban or eliminate or delete. Talk about stuff

SHAME PEOPLE
- shame white people for their ethnicity
- shame religious people for their recognition of sin and moral failings
- shame anyone who does not succumb to the New Left talking points

Obama opposed same sex marriage (saying "God is in the mix") while campaigning but later he "evolved" on the issue so was forgiven for lying to the public about his opposition

That’s some deep analysis on The Flintstones. I think you are on your way to a Thesis Paper on the subject.

Dang, I was doing my thesis on the underlying homosexual tones in My Favorite Martian. Now I have to scrap the whole thing and start over with the Flintstones and it’s due the 7th. I might need your help.

I had to buy a bootleg copy of Song of the South 20 years ago so that my kids could see it.

Fred and Barney were based on Ralph and Ed on the Honeymooners

We love watching The Office sitcom. It would NEVER be made today, even though it just ended in 2013. FIVE YEARS AGO. That was when you could laugh at stupid people making stupid comments.

Now, anyone making comments that are DEEMED offensive must be fired from their jobs and ruined forever.

Probably the majority of former slaves stayed with their masters or returned to them after checking out alternatives. Many became sharecroppers. There are historical records that don’t fit today’s narratives.

When I first saw this article, I thought of this movie.

I have a bootleg DVD that my son bought for me from overseas. I should expect that my door will be kicked in someday, and I will be assigned to a re-education camp.

A liberal always takes 5000 words when all it would take is 500.

Well, one thing Marxists do is change the rules all the time. Keeps the proles off balance.

So, we should do whatever they will be doing in the future, when our current entertainment is hopelessly un-PC.

The commies will have a whole bureaucratic apparatus devoted to ferreting out stuff in print and audio/ visual deemed inappropriate by the party big wigs.

Roland Winters was a latecomer.

“Warner Oland (born Johan Verner Ölund, October 3, 1879 – August 6, 1938) was a Swedish-American actor most remembered for playing several Chinese and Chinese-American characters: the Honolulu Police detective, Lieutenant Charlie Chan; Dr. Fu Manchu; and Henry Chang in Shanghai Express. His family emigrated to the United States when he was 13. He pursued a film career that would include time on Broadway and dozens of film appearances, including 16 Charlie Chan films.”

Commies want a clean slate. A year zero. Anything before then that doesn’t measure up to the new rules is fit for erasure. Including people.

If Ted honestly believes his crAP piece is gonna stop Grit or Laff or TCM or a dozen other channels aimed at old white people - not just no but hell no. Free money for Viacom and Comcast et al, like they’re just gonna give that up ... ho ho ho Ted , tell us another bedtime story you nimrod.

What Ted is fishing for is an invite back on NPR , and you ain’t getting that either Ted.
