This show is so good in so many ways. The entire television series was great. It was one of my weekly favorites. This episode is a classic among classics. It represents a pre-censorship era of commercial broadcasting. For that it deserves entertainments highest award.
I'm sure you know people just like Amos and Andy.

The Milton Berle Show. This was 'live' television. It was truly electric and alive compared to today's hyper processed versions of the same thing.

Amos 'n Andy is great. Niggers complained that it showed them in a bad light so they had it censored from the telavivavision. Shit, it showed niggers in the best light possible - made them appear lovable, and deleted out all the negroid violence, drug use, and all their other negroid depravity. Also, negroes weren't so bad before the Judeo-Bolsheviks started hustling integration and equalitarianism in the 1960's, purpose being to destroy the hated goy western civilization.

My Kool Slim character - who I originally stole from some guy on the old original Golota Board - is based on George Kingfish Stevens.

Hulu is a good one: www.hulu.com/I generally just go to google video and type in what I am looking for. Amos and Andy was great and oddly it was blacks that were offended. Now this is to be understood in the context of the Harlem Renaissance and how people like Langston Hughes celebrated the black lifestyle and enabled it to flourish. homepage.mac.com/mseffie/student_work/team_unit/hughes/hughes.html White society would not allow it. The only norm in America is the 'white' norm. It was white society that ruined the unique expression of black culture and the NAACP is responsible for making black people ashamed of their uniqueness by convincing them that with a little effort they could almost become white, and to help we will make laws to make them equal with white males.

Actually blacks were huge fans of the a and a show. That show holds up perfectly today after over fifty years, better and funnier than ever.
I already know about Hulu and some others.

Prez Well Norman Rockwell would be painting different scenes today if he were chronicling America. Nothing stays the same and those who wish it would will find that their labors are like trying to keep the Columbia River from reaching the ocean.

I had read that the song of the south had been attacked. I think that is wrong. My mom took me to see the movie as a kid and I loved it. A lot of Disney's early classic cartoons had cloaked social imagery. Like the dwarfs in Snow White going to the mine singing 'whistle while you work.' White America has taken a lot of time and effort into making black people ashamed of their blackness so that now black people hope they can achieve all that whites have achieved. That has been the success of desegregation and civil rights legislation. I refer you to a time of black awakening in the 20th century The Harlem Renaissance where the talent and skills of black people were eagerly sought by white people who would go 'slumming' in Harlem for a quality of entertainment lacking in white venues. www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/chap9/9intro.htmlIn the end American society succeeded in convincing the black population that choosing white goals and methods was the best way and they in turn allowed their art to be turned into a mockery of what it originally was. By accepting the 'white' definition of American life the blacks effectively agreed to their own cultural genocide.
