Everyone is entitled to AIDS, and it does not matter straight or gay. If you play around, and play it safe, then there are major risk involved. If AIDS was trully a punishment of God, then not only gays would be punished, but also straight people too.
Actually straight people in Africa contracted AIDS through bush meat first. Then passed it throughout. If they had not eaten animals that they had no business to eat in the first place and should have instead protected then the virus would not have been spread. Please educate yourself first before spreading hate. Thanks.
@egamer28 you've just demonstrated the fact you don't know "the truth of the matter", & for that fact, the truth about much else.
what i object most about those like you, is that you either knowingly & intentionally lie or the truth just gets in the way of your ignorance, bigotry & hate!
you're sort of like...no, you're exactly like buy bull belt "christians" who'll never, ever have anything to do with the true teachings of Christ, consequently they spread misinformation & lies of His truths!
You would have been amazed at the amount of people who held that position during the 80's and 90's about it being Gods punishment. But shows like this and TBAA help break down some of the walls that still exist today
This was a brilliant episode, and thank God there are / were shows like this to help combat ignorance. Dixie Carter was also a wonderful person in life, am so sorry that she's gone.
That is so damn cruel. Who could look a person in the face, a person with a horrible disease no less, and tell them they deserve to die?! So vicious and cruel.
@COWGIRLBABY19841 Its pitiful that some people actually think it's acceptable to treat people like that. THEY are the evil, immoral people. This episode struck a nerve in me. I was soo glad Julia told her off. lol
"...you'd be at the free clinic all the time..." lady looked like Julia slapped her "...and so would the rest of us!" Classic Julia. God, I miss that show! I miss Julia. Every now and again, she comes out in me when I get pissed! lolz
I think this episode tells what it's really like to deal with Aids and being poz because prejudice and or unwillingness to face reality runs rampant in the U.S.. Dixie Carter has never faultered in her speaking her mind and the writer of this episode seems to be in tune with what's going on out side his own circle .
I've been cleaning out my p.c. "closet". I dug deep, to area's I didn't think I'd find my way out! I had gone to my initial 'unfamiliar' place of technology. Ironically while there, I found something all too 'familiar'... a 'clip', a 'scene' from 'Designing Women'. I had always loved "Julia Sugarbaker"...her wit, conviction in what she believes. As I watch this scene....never, have I loved her more.
That has got to be one of the classic lines in TV history: "I've known you for 27 years and all I can say is if God was giving out sexually transmitted diseases to people as a punishment for sinning, then you would be at the free clinic all the time!" Powerful, and yet so hysterical. I can't believe that Dixie Carter wasn't at least a little bit liberal...she sounds off these lines so well!!! LOL
@andell1 Liberal or Conservative doesn mean your any more or less Human, Common Sense does. And this classy lady was full of Common Sense. No matter your political or religious beliefs, we need more people like her.

One can't help but draw some parallels between Designing Women and the Golden Girls (I think the GG are better). Also, there is a striking similarity of the wit and delivery between Dixie Carter and Bea Arthur, both of whom are a part of the past now - unfortunately. They both were great allies to the LGBT community.
@Monrocsol Can you cite your source or do you have a personal experience connected to that bit of information? While Dixie Carter may have been a registered Republican and a self-described libertarian, she was also a strong supporter of the gay community who participated in AIDS benefits and talked publicly about her support for equal rights, especially during the height of the Bush II years.
@Monrocsol I don't think that Dixie Carter would have played a role that she didn't personally believe in. Scroll up and click on the video where it reads: "The Designing Women Talk Gay Marriage." Besides, the important part is that this show covered many sensitive topics. This episode should be viewed in every middle school, high school, college, etc. D.W. was always ahead of it's time.
I remember the attitudes towards AIDS in the 80's and a lot of people thought like Imogene did. When I saw this episode on TV as a teenager, I felt like cheering. Finally, somebody was standing up to the hypocrisy that victimized people already suffering.
Sadly enough there will probably never be another "Julia Sugarbaker". Dixie Carter and her beloved character were truly an inspiration and source of inner strength for so many people- myself included. I am a male and proud to say a loyal viewer all the way to the end of those "Designing Women!"
@forrester1 Don't give up, honey, the fat lady ain't sung yet. The entire South is not populated by "You Might Be A Redneck" maroons who buy into that classist ignorance. The women of the South shall rise again, and by damn, it will NOT be canceled!
She was ahead of her time.... she was fabulous,,,and will be missed.... she was what we all hope we would be if this type of situation ever came our way....I loved her then and now....
@rgtcr1234 ... I agree she was ahead of her time and as a society that keeps progressing, we'd never see a speech like this on TV today. Everyone needs a little bit of Julia Sugarbaker in them!
It's the very first time that I see the sow (because i just heard about her death) and I have to say that I am in love with the show, the characters, the script and everything.... 87, wow!!! I am sure she's with the angels now. PIP Dixie Darling.....
Dixie Carter was the most under-rated sitcom actress of all time. Playing Julia Sugarbaker was a perfect fir for her, and she will be missed - R.I.P. Ms. Sugarbaker - This will always be my favorite scene on Designing Women. Well spoken and to the point. Gives me chills every time I watch it...
I just saw the sad news of Dixie Carter's passing, and this was the first thing that came to my mind. I loved that character & I love Dixie Carter! May she rest in peace.
@losartandeterment806 Designing Women is one of my favourite shows. I imagine I have seen this video at least four times. I love Julia! She tells it like it is...always! As you know this particular episode strikes a cord in my heart. Life is unfair enough without ignorance infecting the mind.
I just love Julia Sugarbaker. When she gets wild like that she makes such amazing points - the writing on this show was ahead of its time, really tackling things that other shows wouldn't.
@hotwaiter I agree with almost everything you said, hon, except the categorization of Julia's "TERMINATOR" rants as "get(ting) wild." That, dear heart, is not "wild," that is pure, highly-restrained, classically-enunciated, undiluted TRUTH, and she delivers it better than any preacher short of my late grandfather. Linda Bloodworth-Thomason was and is a genius writer/producer, and between them, she & Mrs. Dixie created an ICON. Wild? No. TRUE and RIGHTEOUS.
God, I so miss seeing this show everyday. It use to come on during the week on Lifetime, but that was two years ago. Networks are so busy with reality shows that they have no use for quality programming anymore.......What Ashame
the name of this episode is killing all the right people. i will never forget watching this when it was on the air for the first time.i loved it then and still do, and have it on tape. i love the way she fired off on that up tight bi**h.
