bc they were not saying MF to everything and giving glory to shot up knuckledraggers.
Hehaw (sp?) was just as """degrading"" but whites were not trying to be something they were not.

I watched the show as child and even though I can't remember much about the humor- I was young, probably didn't understand some of it, I know that I dearly loved all the characters. I LOVED this show and can remember being so upset when I heard the show would never be shown on TV again.

Funny is funny..black or white.

@TheJujis86 The problem lied in the NAACP's view of things. It was the only view of Blacks on Television & their was some merit to that arguement ,however pulling the show wasn't the answer. (Tho it wasn't actaully done until the show was in reruns) Most Blacks I knew loved the show also. And Whites I knew didn;t look back on it & say,'Gee,all Blacks I knew were just like that". It also showed Blacks in respectable positions.

It's always a good time to buy. So says the Realtors.

I see only comedy here. I've seen shows where whites act the same way. It is just comedy that's all. Fantastic actors with great talent. If we can't laugh at each other then we have a real problem. We laughed at all in the family! Why can we not laugh at Amos and Andy? Because it was made in the 50's? Give me a brake.

we can thank the damn NAACP assholes for taking this great show off tv forever.

Yes, there are some racial undertones here, but it's not as bad as watching white men paint their faces black and seeing them mimic black stereotypes.
I have to admit though. That bit in the end where the guy is lured by the dollars thrown on the table made me laugh hard.
