They were such wonderful actors! I always enjoy seeing the reruns whenever possible. Thanks soooo much!

I don't think I used either phrase, but if pressed, I'd say real entertainment, as in "that's great, that's real entertainment". I think those sentiments ought to be reasonably clear from my posts.

are you trying to say reality entertainment or real entertainment? please clarify...

which one is better, a stereotypical dehumanizing job, or your dignity, self respect, and a positive role model. There was a split in black communities everywhere. Some liked it, and others hated it. If it was one of five black shows on at the time, then parents would have a positive show for their kids to watch. this was not the case..

I disagree..Many actors that did black face spoke of how they really felt off stage. Its dehumanizing, and for anyone to belittle the emotional and mental anguish is somewhat barbaric.

Lets see.. either i can put food on the table and come home everyday feeling dejected and dehumanized, Or I can keep my dignity and peace of mind and starve.. Hard decision for black actors

In other words, this is the only way that you can survive as a black person in Hollywood. Doing stereotypical roles. Antaganistic characters & dark individuals. sad..

exploitation & stereotypical Hollywood at its best....

Amos 'n' Andy did many things right. While the characterizations were stereotypical, there was not another television network program with so many African American characters for more than 20 years. When Amos and Andy disappeared from television, with very few exceptions, so did black performers and characters. The lone regular character was Rochester, Jack Benny's butler. It was not until the late 1960s and early 1970s that we saw the reappearance of regular African American characters.
