BigMike619 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ain't that the truth :applause: I know The Jeffersons love him. And that too was a very important show. Race relations, inter-racial couple, foreign guy with no concept of racism in America, a black man trying to make it as a businessman. It was a great show and as funny as it was I could see the lessons as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECU-ALUM Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The interesting thing about the Jeffersons was after a while George stopped using the term Honky. Mainly becuase Sherman Hemsley hated the term and everytime the writers wrote for him he would intentionally mispronounce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the ever-knowledgeable Dietrich from Barney Miller, it had something to do with the nasaly tones in which blacks felt white people spoke...like a "goose honking" or something like that...thus, the term lol... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 archie bunker might be one of the most important characters ever on television I can agree. I think a case can be made that Archie Bunker did more positive for race relations than MLK did. Archie Bunker made racism embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stereotype is so innaccurate, it only represent's about .00000000001 percent of the white population. I can hardly remember meeting a white person who talks like that. Not even most nerds.
