Too funny....

Reruns of "Sanford and Son" are on now, they always crack me up.

What I didn't get before is how much they touch on the subjects which are prevalent today.

And gues what Yellow, they didnt offend or hurt anyones poor feelers did they? Everyone white or black just laughed and had a great time.
Some of it was offensive, doesn't mean it wasn't funny as well...
I don't understand how people really expect to get through life without being offended to some degree. It's going to happen, the context is what's important. People are so sensitive these days.

The trick is what most folk now days do when their little feelers get hurt. Back in the day when respect was a thing and children got raised properly, they moved on and didnt take every little thing personally.

You are going to catch hell for that one, not the “because they’re black”, but the symbolism above it. That’s stereotyping and we know how that goes over.
