In Regards To Roseanne.Remember "All In The Family"?,Did Anyone Have A Cow With Archie Bunker?

[Rexx Taylor]

Yes, we can all agree that it was a long time ago, a different world way back then. But this is just something to look back on, and us "Over 40" people all watched "All In The Family", we all watched Archie Bunker have a field day attacking a few races, but particularly blacks.
It's it amazing, maybe boggles the mind of what we could get away with in the 70's, and no one on TV got fired or had their show cancelled?,,and we all saw that Classic Chevy Chase VS Richard Pryor sketch.,,and even with Chevy saying the N word at the end of the sketch, no one raised hell the next day,,demanding SNL be cancelled and Chevy Chase be sued...right?

Among many other differences, Archie Bunker is a fictional character. Roseanne Barr is a real woman speaking for herself.

But he was set up as a figure of fun, a bit of an idiot, to be mocked and derided. Is that how Roseanne's character is presented?

She set her character up as herself, a self-proclaimed Trump supporter. What irony.

Don't cha love it when Republicans embrace and defend racism?

When America was great

Translation: "When even uppity n****** knew their place"

 

[Rexx Taylor]

anyone remember that scene when Archie found out he had black blood infused?,,and what the donor said to him after the treatment?

Back in the 70's people weren't a bunch of butthurt whiners like they are now.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

Stienfeld was pretty much the "All In The Family" of the 90's. even they had their share of racial remarks.

 

[Nosmo King]

But Archie Bunker never called out a real person.

Try as you might, you can't polish this turd.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

at least Lionell{was that his name} went along with anything Archie said to him

 

[Rexx Taylor]

a lot of guys in Manhattan/Bronx/Long Island were just like Archie Bunker. even I had an uncle who was exactly like Archie.

Actually, in the 70s we ridiculed racism. I think it was a more effective tool against racism than what we are using now.

And Roseanne did not say her shit thru her tv show, but on her Twitter account as herself.

We embrace FREE SPEECHv-- something you no longer comprehend. We will fight you turning this into the UK. You've destroyed that country. We will oppose that here.

I can see reprimanding Roseanne, but not cancelling the show. One person on the show, albeit the star of the show, makes a dumb racist comment and the big shots at the network harm everyone involved in the show. WTF!

How many hundreds of people were working on that show? They're now all out of work. Dumb and likely politically motivated.

Trump just won..no doubt about it.

Archie Bunker is a fictitious character. Roseanne tweeted that as herself and not her character on the show.
