I liked Black culture in the 70s. It was distinct and proud and generally not nasty. They wanted to do their thing and they let me do my thing.

Today, the activists want to tear down whatever I have, and I’m an evil racist if I don’t thank them for their destruction.

Before that rap horror, the Black culture was turning out great music right up until the early/mid ‘80s. Don Cornelius wouldn’t have that degrading filth on his show (”Soul Train”).

Barney Miller retro with that gang of different detectives.

I think your right. The Blacks had a distinctive culture and you had the Black Films that were made then. So of them like “Shaft” were pretty good and had crossover appeal. I still like to watch some them from time to time, the women, the hair, the talk was so unreal and funny. Watch “Cotton Comes to Harlem”, now that is a funny movie and Judy Pace was without a doubt one of the most gorgeous women on film.

I’m a huge fan of all the old black comedians, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy’s standup still crack me up as much today as it did, then.

I loved the black movies in the 80s, like I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, and Hollywood Shuffle, and “In Living Color”.

Then in the 90s something changed.

His show had scores of white fans.
It was a time when people were actually working to
bring us together and not the reverse.

RIP Mr. Taylor.
