Classic show above, but banned.

Great comedic stuff, way less ridiculous than the great 3 Stooges.

A legitimately funny show now suppressed from ever being seen.

There was a very pretty black chick that had the hots for me my senior year of HS. Sad to say I would have dated her, had it not been for my fear of what my parents may have thought. In the 70's we were just not there yet. Gotta admit, since women wore "bush" back then, there was also a small fear of the "brillo pad".

You should went for the mocha, man. Nothing wrong with bush! Don'tcha remember the pornos from the '70s & '80s!!!

Yes I do! Still, I always found a black woman's pad a bit scary! You ever pet a natural black person's hair down there? It will sand your varnish right off!

Get outta here, man! It's not razor wire...it won't slash up your nose!

There you go.
Let's use Halle Berry as an example here. I love Halle Berry, btw.
HB is half white, she has a child w/a man who is half white and her
child is half white ...she is now dating a white man ( I guess?!) and she has
got to be the most racist half white woman I have ever come across. She
was raised by her white mother but she acknowledges and embraces the black
50% and refuses to allow her daughter/daughter's father acknowledge their daughters
50% white heritage, WTH?!? Her black 50% took off and left the white 50%
behiind to care for her ass and she has such a chip on her shoulder ...I would
never want my children caught up in something like that and I'm pretty brown
myself.

Well...hold on there, MG. Let's not forget the "One Drop" rule is still alive and well, and in full effect. Halle Berry, Barack Obama & Mariah Carey and every other bi-racial (black/white) person is still considered "Black" in our society. It isn't a matter of embracing one & not the other, or having a "chip" on one's shoulder. I don't think they have the luxury of choosing. Let's face it, embracing your white heritage is one thing, having it embrace you back is quite another.

I understand this ...to the best of my ability. My point is
if two people in a relationship who are ea. already 1/2 black and can't agree
on race, COLOR, how they want to raise their equally 1/2 black
child/children together, just imagine how much more difficult these
types of relationships could be if each partner were completely different races.
If you were Halle Berry's new white boyfriend, wouldn't you think twice
about your relationship and any future children you may have w/her?!
Course, easier said than done, we can't help who we are attracted to ...
but sometimes life is about making choices. Relationships are complicated
anyway why complicate things further.
