Al's frank sexism is pretty reminiscent of Archie's racismHow though? Thr only similarity that I see is that the dad is the focal point of the show...
Al is low key a top 3 TV dad imo

And muthafukkas are in here respecting this shyt...I’m flabbergastedhow do non-black posters even have the leeway to address black posters like this ? Lol
This indian dude just told a nikka his plight is just "frail emotions" and mocked him about "white devils"...
wtf goes on in here..
Well said..The singing in the beginning of the opening was the signal to turn the tv off or change the channel. We didn't watch Archie.
The show's producers used the show to expose how whites spoke behind closed and how there was a growing generation gap between old ideas and (allegedly) enlightened 60s and 70s young white people.*
I believe the creator, Norman Lear, was jewish, and that's the best way he felt to put racism front and center.....old white guy that white audience could relate to as their father or uncle..who thought the same shyt.
Some spinoffs from that show....the Jeffersons obviously...but Good Times spun off Maude..which spun off Archie
Over the years , when I've read about ER and JA's criticism of JJ I accepted it as truth.You make a solid point... but eras and context mean everything....
Put Uncle Phil and Wil in the 70s and Uncle Phil May have felt the same way as James
My mom used to watch that show when I was little also. That theme song....I recognize dude from In the Heat of the Night. My mom used to watch that show
These people should be walking on egg shells in every thread thats not about sportsAnd muthafukkas are in here respecting this shyt...I’m flabbergasted
You mean your comments were no different from alt-right posters? Indian or not I get the feeling that Archie Bunker is one of your favorite tv characters for reasons other than the ones you're trying to pass off in this thread.
Is it safe to say that Heathcliffe Huxtable was responsible for the first Black tv father with an intact hairline?The late Esthere Rolle was responsible for the first Black father/husband in American tv history .

You have no clue.Archie wasnt a white supremacist theres a big difference between a white supremacist and an old style 'greatest generation' ignorance and racism. he was a typical knuckleheaded old and angry guy, confused at the changing world around him. supremacy would allude to some sort of power; archie was a blue collar witless, powerless dolt whos behavior (which was typical of white guys his age/background) was put on display, juxtaposed with the lives of the people he 'hated' , so everyone could see how ridiculous and unnecessary it all was in the grand scheme of things. the show was a big deal for its time, for sure. racism could definitely be learned behavior but i dont think anyone learned it from growing up watching archie bunker. most people grew up watching it realized how pigheaded it was
You have no clue.
Your local crackheads from the trailer park can be white supremacists. Its a practiced mentality
Its not just some powerful white men on the top floor of a high rise..
Riiiight. You're a "complex" thinker. Not an alt-right sympathizer. Only one such as yourself can grasp the complexities of Archie Bunker. Congrats. Not only that, but you regurgitate far right talking points...almost as if you are one yourself. Seriously though, you're schtick is transparent as glass. Trying to act like a tough guy "complex" thinker isn't helping.I'm sorry sir but I wasn't raised in this fakkit ass era where everyone is living in fear of an "alt-right" boogeyman, so a guy like Archie Bunker is simply someone to laugh at...which is why he was a character on a COMEDY SITCOM....in an era where people could actually take a fukking joke. My views aren't black and white, they are way more complex than that. That doesn't make me special, it makes me a functional, thinking, rational human being. That's the difference between someone like you, who is just a spine, and someone like me, who is a spine and a cerebellum. I was the one who made that thread, so why do you think you are exposing something nefarious by posting it here? Do you think only "alt-righters" believe in borders? Can you offer anything to contradict the data from the link in the post? Or you just fishing for daps?
