Archie Bunker was a Fictional character whose show had black guest stars & spawned The Jefferson's spinoff?

That’s the only reason we tolerated this exercise in communist degeneracy. To get the spinoffs. At least the meathead wasn’t stinking up any of them.

Norman Lear was a hack. He didn’t even create the character of Archie Bunker. He was just a watered-down American bowdlerization of a British character named Alf Garnett from a TV show called Till Death Us Do Part.

I fucking hate this show because I fucking hate any show that depicts people who are right as being jerks.

Lear was born in New Haven, Connecticut,[3][4] the son of Jeanette (née Seicol) and Hyman "Herman" Lear, a traveling salesman.[4] He had a younger sister, Claire Lear Brown (1925–2015).[5] Lear grew up in a Jewish household in Connecticut and had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony.[6]

His father hated Niggers, so he took it out on the American working class out of guilt while also promoting buckbreaking. The advertisers of this show were the same ones who sent American jobs overseas.
