Amos and Andy Dealing with being Gay in the 1950s.mp4

[jobra0]

I used to watch Amos and Andy. I'm sure Kingfish had a reason for telling them he loved them, probably wanted cash to get himself out of a mess and figured if he professed his love they'd help him out. I've heard all the rhetoric about the 'making fun of negroes' as they were called back then, but Kingfish was funny, Andy was cute, Amos was fat, Calhoun was intelligent, the wife was pretty. A well-rounded cast of characters. If white guys hadn't started this could we still enjoy their talent?

i first thought this was a joke, that someone dubbed the voices...but now, i'm really not sure at all...

I thought that Bill Cosby bought the rights to all Amos & Andy bits and destroyed them all.

Nope, not gay, just saying that people aren't true to their words. He is saying he loves them as a friend and they all know he uses them when he needs to.

(not that there's anything wrong with it) LMAO

perhaps the kewlist routine I ever saw!

Kingfish was married to Sapphire. Amos was married to Ruby. Andy Brown's girlfriend was Queenie. I never saw any particular gal for Algonquin J. Calhoun the lawyer. Nobody was represented a being gay back then. That was taboo for TV.

affectionate & masochistic: but poor

defensive skills.

@ChrisRJ I agree. I believe you would have to be gay or really seeking. even out of context this has nothing relating homosexuality
