@akytilop Hey, just because your black don't take it out on me! You should be ashamed of the fact your people were made to look like chimps on t.v. 60 years ago. Getting put in 'sanitary confinement'. Does it make you feel good that because of these shows people today think you blacks were that stupid?

@glorybra Why don't you pour yourself a drink and chillax until the ball drops at midnight. We white boys ain't exactly running on stupid since you folks claim you taught us how to think back in the days of the Egyptians. You should walk up and down 42nd Street in New York and listen to some of the black kids speaking; you will cry. I was in New York yesterday and was amazed with how little progress in education has been made.

@ronarf3 And how is a white person ever going to get what it's like to be a black person in America? Like a white man on Oprah Winfrey once said: "He didn't realize that being white was a privilege."

@akytilop The black rappers suck but they are doing their own thing even if white's don't like it. Amos and Andy was first on the radio with two white guys portraying the black characters. Talking the way white people thought all black people talked. Like ignorant uneducated mis-fits in a white man's world. You think those actors talked like that in real life? Then you've got a lot to learn about the Jim Crow era.

@glorybra , What do Republicans have to do with Amos and Andy. I know plenty of Democrats who don't like Obama. So you think today's rappers represent the black community better than the actors in Amos and Andy.

Keep in mind that a lot of the members of the NAACP were white lawyers who have made a lot of money from the civil rights movement just like that white guy who runs the Southern Poverty Center.

@akytilop What's racist is the way they have them speaking like they have no education or intellect at all. Maybe black people were like this 200 years ago, but not 50 years ago. It was a show for white people so they would laugh and point at the funny Niggers on t.v. It's typical stereo typing of the times and one reason why GOP members are always saying: "Let's take our country back!". Back from whom? The black President and black society? Back to when? To Amos and Andy days?

iT'S INTERESTING WHAT BLACK PEOPLE DON'T GET.
THEY DON'T GET THE FACT THAT THIS IS GREAT, GREAT CREATIVE COMEDY. THEY SAY IT'S DEMEANING..WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS THAT THEIR ACTIONS OF TODAY ARE DEMEANING. THESE CREATIONS ARE UPLIFTING AND FUNNY, NOT BECAUSE OF COLOR, BUT BECAUSE OF GOOD CLEAN CREATIVITY AND ACTING ABILITIES.
WISE UP BLACKS.TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOOD AND WHAT'S BAD. HOWEVER, I'M AFRAID YOU JUST WON'T GET THIS EITHER AS YOU DON'T GET SO MANY OTHER THINGS. TOO BAD.
What's racist about this? They all had jobs, except for Kingfish. The prosecutor a lawyer is black, there are black business people all throughout this movie.

This was an absolutely beyond brilliant show........, recall it with the greatest fondness.
Phenominal actors, great stories, it was 10 stars across the board. Of course, the darling naacp had neither intelligence nor sense of humor and killed the last year or two of this gem.
