That was actually not him even though everyone thought it was

Are you sure? :patrice:

[H]e found fame as the bigoted working man Archie Bunker, the main character in the 1970s CBS television sitcoms All in the Family (1971–1979) and Archie Bunker's Place (1979–1983). O'Connor later starred in the NBC/CBS television crime drama In the Heat of the Night from 1988 to 1995, where he played the role of southern Police Chief William (Bill) Gillespie.

back in the day my mom's best friend was an Irish woman from middle village Queens, I would stay with them all the time when my mom's was at work. They treated me so good, the woman's mother was a spitting image of Edith no lie....we would go to the supermarket and she would ask me what I wanted for "supper" and all that. Treated me like gold, better than my real family to tell you the truth. Her name was miss Mary. God rest her soul. I fukks with all in the family.

:martin::facepalm:This show is a classic...loved it growing up and still love it today.

The show wasn't about "white supremacy" or an endorsement of it; it was really the opposite.

Archie was just a representation of the America that "once was" pre-1960s ie soft bigotry, the "joe lunch pail", factory worker, of the pro American generation who clashed with his young neo liberal, over educated "burn the flag" new school son in law and other issues that were changing America at the time (i.e. the free love movement, feminism, a change in attitude towards race etc etc).

It was a characterization of a changing of the guard between the generations of the time.

Definitely one of the most telling and provocative shows without a doubt. Even the chair that he sat in in the show is displayed in the Smithsonian

But Playing a YouTube clip is really robbing yourself of the whole story. You have to watch a few episodes in full length to get what I'm saying. Try looking at the first few seasons.

My favorite episode is the one where the two black burglers break into his house (one of the burglars is played by Lamont from Sanford n Son). Shyt still has me :bryan: til this day...but I know the new millennial generation is hyper sensitive with too short of an attention span to get it:hubie:

I'm an Indian darker than half you mfers. And?

And guess what, before that I would stay with my neighbors who were black, from the straight up south. I went to church with them and all that, got my ass beat for putting my feet on her table and the whole nine. I consider them fam too. You dudes need to stop letting race cloud your vision so much. There are good and bad people in all walks of life.
