I haven't seen All in the Family in years! I used to watch those reruns
with my grandparents. Is there anywhere that you can stream them now?

I don't find that stuff funny but you can watch some material on youtube.

I started to worry for our society when I heard someone disparage All in
the Family as being racist. They were too out of touch with the real
world to understand that Archie's racism was being ridiculed.

I don't mind racial jokes. The Hawaiians dig that kind of stuff. Most of Hawaiian humor is about the cultural differences between the races. What I don't care for is that 70's kind of TV humor. It's just so corny.

I find most comedies corny. All in the family not so much, especially
for that era. The best and least corny comedy is Curb Your Enthusiasm,
IMO. Largely improvised and none of those artificial pauses for the
laughing tape to do its thing.

Archie Bunker was a Trump voter avant la lettre and, indeed, constantly
being ridiculed.

I don't have any negro jokes for you, so sorry! The reality is that the Hawaiians don't do negro jokes. They don't do Mexican jokes either. Not to worry, there's lots of folks on the mainland doing both.

You don't have Mexican jokes because you don't have immigrants
from Mexico. The downside is that you don't have good Mexican
food. Puerto Rico has few Mexican immigrants, and they don't
have good Mexican food there either.

I don't remember ever hearing Hawaiian jokes, Aborigine jokes, Maori

It's like politics, autism style. They don't get humor. "He said
something racist". It begins and ends there with these lefty morons,
nuance isn't in their vocabulary.

You're pretty correct on these points. We do have a few folks from Puerto Rico. Here's a Hawaiian guy singing about PR dance music.

It wasn't being ridiculed, it was just one of the many issues of the
times being brought to life on the screen when other productions
considered them "Don't Even Go There". And the producers and writers
did it well.

Edith got raped, Michall was vegetarian, Archie got robbed, Michael
cheated on Gloria, Vietnam war, and whole slew of other touchy
subjects integrated, often comically, into a beloved comedy series
of the times.

And I'm sick of people overusing the word racist. Archie was a
prejudiced bigot - he didn't genuinely hate blacks or spics, he just
feared them.

George, OTOH, he was a racist ****er. He genuinely hated White
people. But it's commonly overlooked being called a racist since
he's black and he had more leeway. And the scripting was done well
to show that double-standard that blew over the heads of most
people.

The common misconception that "blacks can't be racist" is bullshit.
I hate to break it some of you - there ARE plenty of black racists,
and they are just as much fueling the issue as the worst of the
Whites. You can't be out calling people racists when you regularly
practice and advertise the same ideals yourself. It just feeds the
problem.

Archie's racism was constantly being ridiculed by Mike and Gloria and
many of the other characters.

It wasn't being ridiculed the way you suggested: "[people] were too
out of touch with the real world to understand that Archie's racism
was* being ridiculed". It was obvious it was being contested by
other characters.

What bullshit. Even as a child back in the day, I got the joke that
his racism was being ridiculed. It was basically the entire point of
the show, FFS. In exactly the same way (and era) as this:

Archie was racist, but other than that you have a point. How's Reuben,
by the way? When are you two going to tie the knot?

Yes. They were contesting his racism.... by ridiculing him. The fact
remains that the show was not racist. It was a satire on racism.

I encountered a number of black people who were racists when I lived in
Tennessee (Memphis). In the 1990's there was an older woman named
Pinkie who worked at the breakfast/lunch counter at McLemore's market
who was downright rude to me all the time. Her co-worker Louanne (also
black) was not. One day I made a batch of red beans and rice with
andouille sausage and took a tupperware container of it to Louanne. (I
figured she must get terribly tired of eating the same stuff they cooked
for lunch every day.) She loved it! After I dropped it off, Miss
Pinkie, as she was called, just had to taste it. Louanne told me later
Pinkie exclaimed "Dis shit is GOOD!" After that, Pinkie was nice as can
be to me. Funny how that works.

There was another time, back in the 1980's, I went to Target with
Michelle, who was light-skinned black woman on our lunch break so she
could buy an alarm clock. We stopped at the lunch counter to grab a
bite to eat. The black woman behind the counter took Michelle's order
then literally turned her back and pointedly ignored me. Michelle
looked at me, then she said, "Excuse me! Aren't you going to take my
sisters' order?" LOL Watching that woman stammer and stumble through
an apology was almost comical. Michelle asked me when we sat down to
eat, "Does that happen a lot?" Sadly, yes.

I have yet to encounter any negative or nasty attitudes from black
people in this part of South Carolina. It's quite refreshing! Who
knows, maybe some of them are smiling while thinking to themselves "I
hate white people" but you'd never know it and I don't believe they
actually feel that way. It's a 180° difference.

It happens even here. I never had much exposure to black people as a kid
because there just weren't any where I lived. I used to occasionally see
a black person when we drove through Toronto to go to my grandparents'
house. I saw maybe 10-12 total.There is some sort of revisionist notion
that black slavery was a significant part of our past here. The fact is
a few Loyalists came up from the US during and after the revolution. My
understanding was that it was a small number, but the revisionists are
making claims of numbers many times higher than I had read in the past.


Now we have a significant black population, most of which are immigrants
from the Caribbean. A lot of them have a chip on their shoulder about
slavery, though the slavery of their ancestors several generations
happened in their home country.

If you want to see real racism, go to an Indian reserve. You are
guaranteed to hear a rant about residential schools and how you stole
their land.

Are Canadian Indians called Eskimos?

25X More slaves were taken from Africa to the Caribbean and South
America than to the U.S. Yet the U.S. takes, by far, the biggest
blame for slavery.

Interesting video. There is no doubt that more ships appear to have
sailed to the Caribbean and Brazil than to the US. Brazil accounted for
40% of all the slaves shipped over from Africa. I watched it twice and
didn't notice any of those ships sailing to Canada. That is pretty much
in line with what I had read about Canadian slavery years ago. There had
been two ship loads of Africans brought over to New France in an
experiment with slavery. It didn't take.

Perhaps the west put the blame on the US because it maintained the
institution for years after others had abolished it. There could be an
element of ignorance to that since so many people are unaware of the
extent of slavery in Brazil.

Despite all the rhetoric, I refuse to feel "guilty" or take any sort of
blame for something that happened centuries before I was born. I have
no idea whether or not the first McQuown's who arrived in the US in 1680
forced "Indians" off their land in Pennsylvania. They were given a land
grant by William Penn. I don't know if there were still natives living
there or not. Maybe they lived side by side in harmony. I wasn't
there. I do know none of my ancesors owned slaves of any race.

The McQuown's were caught up in a religious war back in Scotland and
were captured and transported as indentured servants. It was pure luck
the captain of the ship died and the man who assumed command was
friendly towards the Scots. He dropped them off in Amboy, NJ, rather
than handing them over to plantation owners in Virginia.

It bugs me that people try to tar all white people with the same brush.
It simply isn't true.

What is a native Canadian called?
Indigenous Canadians (also known as Aboriginal Canadians or First
Peoples) are the indigenous peoples within the boundaries of Canada.
They comprise the First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

There are still black slaves working in the Amazon distribution center.
