To attempt to locate just one episode in today’s world is near impossible.

White out! “Song of the South” - poor Disney, just can’t win.

IIRC The Jeffersons actually featured the first inter-racial couple in the neighbors. Roxie Roker actually was married to a white guy in real life, of course, you know their son is Lenny Kravitz.

I actually had to look up Magnegro. Near as I can tell it was just a made up as a movie poster...but it would rule if Jim Brown actually starred in Magnegro.

Me too! Loved Marilyn McCool, still married to Billy Davis after all these years.

Can you imagine if it was written like that? Their heads would explode. Racist to the core and they don’t even realize it.

I don’t choose shows to watch on tv based on skin color. I watch based on how good the comedy or story is.

I wore out the grooves to the Superfly soundtrack album. Good stuff.

Lionel reminded me of my Uncle Kevin. Smart college kid with a level head.

We’ve taken several steps backward in race relations since 1979.

Just like when they start off their argument with, “as a black woman...” Imagine all the heads exploding if someone said, “as a white woman...” Those who complain the loudest about racism are the most racist.

Here is a little hint for the racial justice reporterette:

Magnum PI wasn’t a very real portrayal of how I live. Never had a Ferrari, I’m not tall and handsome, beautiful women don’t chase me, etc.

If TV was realistic, no one would want to watch it!

“And yes, parts of Baltimore are definitely like that. “

The ‘hood parts of Balmer aren’t nearly that nice.

I liked Blacula. But only because I saw it on Elvira’s show.

Ever see Elvira’s ..... .... um..... show?

Nope, never saw Elvira's show.

But I DO like Lisa Marie as "Vampira" in Ed Wood...

Even better is the Ed Wood Music Video with Vampira.
