My parents were fans of this show. I got hip to this sitcom in 1987 when my brother rented a VHS tape from a video rental store. This show should have never been forced to be canceled by the NAACP, accusing this show of stereotyping Blacks.

@RichardByrd-rx7xt 24 күн бұрын

There is a fundamental difference between. The racism experienced by African Americans was supported by by these shows which reinforced racist stereotypes. While the Beverly Hillbillies was acknowledged as a fictional comedy show, this show and other racist tropes (see Birth of a Nation, Good Times, and The Jeffersons), were considered to be accurate portrayals of African-Americans in real light. Furthermore, racism and the dehumanization experienced by blacks around the world, is not a laughing matter.

@RichardByrd-rx7xt 24 күн бұрын

@@dennisminer7436 That’s mighty white of you. Your simplicity prohibits you from realizing the ramifications of this show. How old were you when this show aired? You think reducing racism to a malt liquor show is par for the course. You are not qualified to dictate to black people what should and shouldn’t offend them,mor how they should react. Your library analysis exemplifies your ignorance. A library has a plethora of information. This show was but one of many on television and in the movies, which held African-Americans up for ridicule. The problem with Amos ‘n’ Andy was this was the only way African-Americans were portrayed for the most part. Regarding your nameless black comedian, he is, once again, a part of a vast array of black comedians, who have a variety of styles and points of views, to reiterate, during the time of Amos and Andy, one did not see a variety of African-Americans in different types of roles. You, not being black, and totally ignorant of what it means, should take heed to that old saying: better to keep your mouth closed and let everyone think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Context: the original Amos &Andy was done exclusively by whites on stage in blackface in local Chicago theater and contained every negative stereotype you could think of. The radio show was also over-the-top racist done by 2 white actors/writers shukin’ and jiv’n. And black people hated it. So when they announced the “new” Amos & Andy tv show IN THE FIFTIES when white racism was open, hostile, deadly, the NAACP was predictably and understandably not happy. The accents were also over the top. Kingfish-please. “Ooo, yes Suh Calhoun!” You have to excuse a stage actor overdoing it with no experience acting on tv in its early days…but the writing! Jesus. I saw the disparity in reaction in 1968 when the tv show was shown at Loyola Marymount University in St. Robert’s Hall. I remember this clearly. Whites thought it was hilarious comedy. I thought it was hilarious comedy. And it was funny (the tv show, I mean). Well acted. A hit. Black people in the audience hated it. I watched it broadcast live in the Fifties on a black & white (no pun intended) television at my grandparents house. My grandparents, in the 50s were Southern, very racist, pro-segregation (my Christmas present from my grandmother when I was ten was a book called “Segregation and You” published by the White Citizens Council), hated black people, and they loved Amos & Andy and watched it every week. Didn’t affect their attitudes towards blacks though. IMO it was a good show, but it was trying to rewrite the older, racist history of Amos & Andy into something better at a very bad time. The fifties were a period of change. The history of the song “Putin’ on the Ritz” is another one.
