Important permit i carried in my Cab Today . Thats important discussing these things in a sitcom. Youre not defensive. Youre able to kind of take in new ideas. Give you another hint. Bongo bongo bongo. Well, hes either dezzy a naz or, knowing you, hes probably black. They were doing something no one has ever done. Mr. Bunker. A Black Man coming to his house. You saved my daughter gloria standing over there. Hello, gloria. And mike. Hello, mike. It was electrifying. I was ting bling the whole time. One, two, three. Sammy kissed him on the cheek and hes going jeez. Youre watching a Master Class in reflecting humidity. It was revolutionary in a lot of ways. All in the family changed the way we think about society. Thats a pick of sammy davis. Look what he writes. To Archie Bunker, the whitest guy i know. It was jaw dropping. You realized Norman Leer is taking us into a whole new round of comedy. My father used to tell my mother, its sunday, were going out for chinks. Dad, were going out for a chinese meal. Why do you have to say chinks . Just sold his home to a family of coloreds. No. Kind of the joy of doing it was oh, hi, neighbor. All in the family commented directly on racism, saying we need to deal with this and here is a vehicle through which we can do that, the television sitcom. Im right, i know im right. All this business of mixing the colors. At the same time, Archie Bunker is a Lightning Rod of controversy because hes allowed to hold some very bigoted views. Whats wrong with that, ampy . Cant you use your head . How the hell are we going to tell Each Other apart . And there are people who dont see Archie Bunker as being an antihero. They just see him as being a hero. President nixon was asked what he thought about it. They said they tried to make a fool out of a good man. So now i got to change the shades. Some people think it was all together wrong, but the blowback from the public was far buried by the excitement and the applause. I dont like that. You dont like what . You calling me boy. Im not a boy. Im a man. If you look at Archie Bunker, hes a racist guy, but we loved him. Sitcom, say look at us. Look what were afraid of. Im a man, too. I dont go around making a point of it. You never had to make a point of it. In the 70s with all in the family, were starting to have a conversation about race in ways that the conversations had not been had. There was a huge rise of the black middle class. You get advertisers turning towards black people. So you can see why Norman Leer created san pford and son. The Lounge Act was redd fox. I came back delirious with the possibility. You know what it says in the bible, love thigh neighbor. The guy who wrote the bible didnt live in this neighborhood. If he had, hed said love thy Neighbor But Lock thyeth door. Its set in watts where theres this Crotch Ety old man who runs a junkyard. His son lamont wants to get rich quick. She said come on. Yeah, thats the way he talked, yeah. He was about 90 years old. Aint nothing worse than a 90yearold white woman. He was like a black Archie Bunker. Theres a season hes irascible. Come to get justice and thats what im looking for is justice. Sanford has like real problems with american racism and the way that it plays out in his life. Why dont you arrest some white drivers . I do. You do . Well, where are they. Look at all these anyniggers in here. Hes the first to say nigger on tv. Its a part of our language. I dont know if its right or if its wrong. I dont get into that. Sanford and son resonated with me because the actor spoke like black people i knew. Lamont, you know id do anything for you. Except have her face fixed. Black life had not been shown in any kind of fashion. Its important people were feeling recognized. Black shows can be just as successful as long as people can relate to it. Come back elizabeth, im coming to join you, honey. Oh maybe thats elizabeth. But all in the family, Sanford And Son and Norman Leer owned the airways. Then there was good times. Ill pay this one. Stall this one. Got to argue about this one. And this one im going to put in the funny papers. Shows like good times and Sanford And Son took a great step forward in that we see more depictions of black families but the families are also squarely in the working class. We were people that worked 60 hours a week, cleaning your houses and emptying your garbage cans. We must set higher goals, we must set higher goals. Stoky carmichael and some of his panthers went into norman heres office. Theres three guys that want to see the garbage man. You got this poor black family. All black families are not like this. We decided to move them on up. Everybody knows what that means. Youve moved on up. Youre on the east side. What you did to get there and what you got to do to stay there. Nice around here, aint it. Kind of nice . This is it. The queen, the top. Owning something, which was very important. You saw a Black Man who was standing up to white people. Who are you calling crazy, honky . The shows had depths to them. They tackled racial issues. Very good, very good, ladies. Whos next . Come on, now. Were all friends here. You may all be friends but we dont touch anything thats been kissed by a nigger. The Flashback Episode what jeffersons were doing the Day Martin Luther king shot. It ends with the speech. Weve got difficult days ahead but i want you to know that tonight we have a people that will get to the promised land. But the fly in the ointment was that they were all written primarily by White Executives who had a very myopic view of black america. I feel qualified to do that as a Human Being who shared some of those same concerns and we had a couple more writers who were themselves africanamerican. Does he miss the mark a lot . Yeah, he does. But he captured some moments that had not been captured before in terms of showing african culture. I believe that it is important to have writers in the room that understand the characters of the show, the pains, the pleasures, the joy. If not, it looks like Amos And Andy.

In the late 1940s, early 1950s, television was trying to figure out what worked, Coming Out of radio. Most television was made in new york city, and so it tended to actually be very ethnically diverse. Many of the shows were born as radio programs. Life with luigi, the goldburgs and beulah. Sometimes i wonder if you learn anything. I learn a lot of things. Some were recirculating stereotypes. When it is a misrepresentation on the screen, it has done on many levels great harm. In the radio Amos And Andy was one of the most popular sitcoms but the people who did it were white. The original pilot for the show were done in black face and the sponsor said, i dont know if hs going to go over well. So they cast it with some very funny black comedians. What do you think, lightning . This sure is the same house. It was at times hysterically funny but the stereotypes left a negative taste in a lot of our mouths. The central characters are all just different iterations of the minstrel archetypes from minstrel shows where white men were putting on black face. Its embracing this do you humanizing tradition of representation. The ncaa came out against Amos And Andy and it went off television. Every time you see someone who makes the completely owned idea of using black face as a costume, that was fermented with shows like Amos And Andy. Oh, my lord. You realize this is incredibly yao. Yes. And you realize black Face Makeup stereotypes . People of color both in front of and behind scenes are less powerful for people writing the checks. Television is there to sell you things. Advertisers and their input matters. Neilson wasnt even counting black households in their numbers. You wrn going to get sitcoms that showed their lives because they didnt care if you were watching or not. On father knows best, there wasnt one black person in the 03 shows. We had frank, the gardener. Oh. [ speaking foreign language ] they had a housekeeper who was asian. If Theres Anything you need. Were relatively invisible but were used as kind of like a condiment. In the tumultuous 60s. Youre beginning to get a real pickup on the level of the civil rights movement. Black people were speaking up, saying you must include me. How kanter wrote on Amos And Andy and as the story goes, he went to a lunch where the speaker was a civil rights leader, larry wilkins, who talked about the significance of representation. So kanter decided to crete a program that would calm a lot of the racial tensions in america. Joya is about a single mom whos a nurse. She has a young child. Her husband died in vietnam. Frankly youre not what i expected. Did you expect me to be older or younger . Huh. It was the first starring role for a black woman who was not a domestic. That will teach you. But they avoided showing her as a black woman as much as possible to make it more palatable for white audiences. Diane carroll described julia as a white negro with very little negroness. Dont worry about it. There will be another monday next week. Be at the beginning there were certain stations that wouldnt even carry it, especially in the south. Back in the 60s whenever a black person was on television, it was particularly pressure. It was a huge responsibility for Diane Carroll to have broken that ground. It was a bit too much. By that i mean the responsibility of it was maybe one that i shouldnt have taken so seriously. It really drove ms. Carroll to the verge of a nervous breakdown. A lot of people feel i didnt take it seriously enough but i do think we were a beginning and that beginning i think has resulted in a lot of things were seeing on the air today.

For the first time, the Cosby Show forced america to recognize the black middle class. 95 dollars. I dont have a 95 shirts and i have a job. The reaganesque narrative allowed everyone to not see race and see this allamerican family that you could emulate. Ronald reagan did say that cosby was his favorite show, so go figure. Where i come from, nigh neighborhood, i didnt buy that because i had never seen that, a black doctor. So i did not really identify and relate with that show. Because of everything going on with mr. Cosby now, of course, the legacy has been tarnished, but the show definitely inspired generations of people of color, who pursued higher education. Im going to hellman. Snow my parents love me then you have denise, who was going to go to an hbcu, a historically black college and university. Its the story of leaving home for the first time.

She let us know how special it was that we were on a set with all these black people. Different world was a success because it wasnt a bunch of white men telling little black kids what they were like growing up. I credit all that to our producer and our director, debbie allen. It was like, how come we deeper than all these characters. Shed gone to howard university, so she brought something organic and authentic. She saw the humanity of a black world. It was a chance for writers, creators, in front and behind camera to tell our story. What is this . Its part of my exhibit, from mammy to modern times. We needed a show that was about colorism and how it has divided us over hundreds of years. Im not going to learn anything about myself by looking at this. Thats right. In order to neutralize the stereotype we have to reclaim it. The sitcom affords us something where we can be funny if something deep happens. You know what i want to say to whitley, its easy for you.
