Now THIS is racist!

Holy crap, can you imagine a TV show trying to air something like this today? I'm referring to the 1st video, but want to post a few. Archie Bunker...

All in the Family cold not be made today. No way, no how. Truth is, that's a shame. It was a quality show that, at times, tackled serious issues and did so in a way that reached people and advanced the discussion of race in this country.

Totally AGREE.

All in the Family was screened over here in the UK. But who, here, knows of the show's origins ?

That show is an American version of a series of programmes that started out in the UK. The original was called 'Til Death Us Do Part', and the original Archie Bunker character was Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell.

Several series were made. But, sure enough, today it'd be impossible to screen it in the politically correct 21st century (.. or make its equivalent, anyway ..).

Here's a taste of it ('The Blood Donor', itself a sort of spoof of a 1950's Tony Hancock comedy episode of the same name ..) ....

Ironically, the two main characters are the biggest LibTARDS on the planet.

It was a show that was intended to portray old fat white guys as being stupid. LibTARDS still religiously believe that show..... Yes, they really are THAT Fing dumb.

Archie Bunker was well ahead of the rest of America back in the 70's, when that show became Number One in the ratings.

Archie would be accused of being a RACIST, BIGOT, and TERRORIST today because TELLING IT LIKE IT IS....Namely...THE TRUTH, is like trying to convince somebody OBAMA doesn't lie.

I don't even think they air reruns anymore, at least not that I've ever seen. The airwaves are filled with "nigger this and nigger that" by black folks who literally mean what they say - but if an old white man said it in a more politically correct manner, as a form of entertainment, even with Sammy Davis or similar next to him and understanding it's comedy - a million apologies would be asked for.

With the racism and negativity aside. Here is where I think he REALLY showed his acting chops, when Edith passed away.

Excellent acting, but it was all done in a hidden agenda to further the stereotype of white Republicans.

glockmail. Totally agree about the hidden agenda. Great thing was...and still is. HOW ACCURATE everything Archie said back then...HAS BECOME REAL, and FACTUAL about Liberals, Democrats...and those who FOLLOW OBAMA.

Imagine if Obama had been president back then?

There never would have been an ARCHIE BUNKER...or ALL IN THE FAMILY.

Redd Foxx would have become the EVERLASTING STANDARD.

"WAIT A SECOND!!!!......IT IS THE STANDARD TODAY!"

I remember that show well in prime time. There was a warning at the start of every episode by the producer, due to its controversial topics and presentation. My parents took that seriously and watched it with us.

As I recall the "coons" that Archie rails against were "The Jeffersons". Those charachters were so successful they became a show of their own. That was also groundbreaking since it made fun of stereotypes, both rich white and blacks from "the hood" who became financially successful.

My mom told me it was fake because nobody likes Herbert Hoover and they're niggers not coons. By the way, popcorn is too much trouble, but here's some nigger toes to munch on.

As we can see by your example, there is also such a thing as white niggers.

Glad I'm not used to trying to talk to dirt bags who get off using the 'N' word so easily. But then. Your Pre-school Diploma probably still hasn't arrived at your house yet either.

This is no place for such epithets directed at our fellow members.

Appalling comment.
