I know her obit has been posted here before, but this is worth reading if only for the dig at All In The Family creator Norman Lear.

[Borges]

Lear didn’t create it. He adapted a British show that had been running for a few years already.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Lear lives in the Brentwood hills of Los Angeles — ZIP code 90049, to be exact. That neighborhood’s population? It’s 84 percent white, 1.4 percent black,

And I love Blacks and Gays and Latinos
As long as they don't move next-door
So Love Me, Love Me, Love Me!
I'm a Liberal!

[Linda Frances]

I bet it killed Ed Asner to sing these words.

All in the Family Lyrics
by (”Those Were the Days” by Charles Stouse and Lee Adams).

Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn’t need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

[Nea Wood]

I seem to recall an episode of AITF where one of Archie’s friends sold his house to a black family. When Archie complained, the friend said something like, “Well, it’ll be all right, you have to get with the times, embrace diversity” or whatever, and Archie said, “Yeah, easy for you to say as you move out of this neighborhood and into a 100% white one!” Sometimes Lear did poke at liberals and expose their hypocricy.

The final stifling.

But what of “All in the Family” creator Norman Lear? Well, according to the ZIP code listed on his political contributions, Lear lives in the Brentwood hills of Los Angeles — ZIP code 90049, to be exact. That neighborhood’s population? It’s 84 percent white, 1.4 percent black, 8.7 percent Asian, with the remainder “other” and multiracial. That almost looks like Archie Bunker’s dream spot.

During the time AITF was popular I imagine that zip code was likely 100% white, other than possibly live in hired help in the neighborhood.

Most of the “progressives” who claim to know all about African Americans live in communities where they never see any African Americans.

[Secret Agent Man]

archie’s dream spot would have far less asians. just sayin. meathead. /sarc

[Albion Wilde]

Lear was a jerk. His ex-wife said so.
