[Pheasant 54]

I'm just barely old enough to recall Bugs Bunny, Loony Tunes, and Heckle-and-Jeckle cartoons that perpetuated all manner of racial stereotypes.

Add Popeye to that list , There is one in particular that I still shake my head at

I remember as a wee lad watching Captain 11 after school on channel 3 KDLO never won the chest but did win a Christmas card contest once. You had to draw a Christmas card and send it in , won some board game can't even remember what it was .All this was happening on a RCA black and white with rabbit ears. Was going to gym for a Thanksgiving party in school was 6 yrs old.

Did you ever watch Little Rascals? I wonder if anyone would be offended if you asksed whazup Buckwheat?

I was 7th grade when JFK was shot. I remember him as terribly liberal then, but watched a couple of his speeches on utuble lately. Made me think he is more conservative than present day RINOs. More conservative than most republicans. I guess with communism far left it was natural for democrats to slide that direction, but why are the fool republicans sliding that direction too?

 

[Happycamper]

I was a senior in HS when JFK was elected. He inspired me and I enlisted right after my 18th birthday. He visited My division temporarily in Ga after we were mobilized during the Cuban missle crisis. I shed tears when he was killed and still wonder about the circumstances of his shooting.
PS, I am no longer inspired by anything the Democrats offer

 

[Fritz the Cat]

Archie Bunker was created by Norman Lear. The biggest liberal in Hollywood at the time. He created the character to ridicule conservative, uneducated, white men. The message was quite subversive, as most of us thought Archie was created to champion our beliefs.

And we laughed at our own expense/demise.

Now if anyone wants to watch something total politically incorrect......an animated film from the 60's....Fritz the Cat. Black people are crows, cops are pigs and on and on. However, in the end, the Cat figures it out. The 60's revolution was controlled from the top down.
