Archie Bunker on Slavery

Archie Bunker speaks out against slavery when Sammy Davis Jr. visits his home.

[@hutch1197]

That "somebody came and got us" line landed as funny as it did because of Sammy's perfect delivery.

[@sasquatch2753]

Yup, someone came and got them after other black tribes enslaved them and sold then on the ivory coast lol

[@hutch1197]

@@sasquatch2753 Sold them to who? Who went to Africa, bought them, put them on ships and enslaved them in America? I'll give you a minute to figure it out.

[@sasquatch2753]

@@hutch1197 African tribes enslaved other African tribes... put them in chains... marched them to the coast and sold them to white slavers who put them on ships. Also, their main customers were middle eastern muslims werr thrir top customers. Ever hear of jungle fever ? Yeah, most white peolle couldn t survive deep into aftrica for more than year.....Oh yeah 27% of all slave owners in America were people of color. And great Britain was the first nation in the history of the world to bane slavery. Not making excuses for what happened but let's put things in perspective shall we... Yeah, it was white people who finally made it illegal, eventually. However, try googling slavery in Africa today. Lowest figures I could find was 700000 currently. That's a lot more than was brought to America In chains. I wonder who is slaving all those people today in Africa? Hmmmm perhaps it's that huge population of Anglo Saxon white Christians which are clearly the majority in Africa today ..right? I'll let you think about the word slavery actually means...Google it.., it's Slavic...meaning so many Slavic people were enslaved by Muslims and Ottoman Empire ( in the millions) during the 9th century the term slave was born as it became the universal name that we still use today. Slavic people are WHITE. As example Saudi Arabia officially banned slavery in 1962 ! And if look up slavery in this nation there is a pic of an Arab (person of colour) next to his WHITE Circassian slave ! Black Americans can blame other blacks, Muslims, Arabs, Turks, and other people of color for their enslavement and being sold abroad. They can thank the British and the French and eventually their fellow white Americans for banning the practice and eventual freedom.

Story goes Sammy Davis was a HUGE fan of the show and begged to be on it. When they agreed the show's writers were horrified of what to have Archie say to Sammy for fear of offending him, to which he told them "You know I toured with Sinatra for years, right? You can't say anything that'll offend me!"

[@JnEricsonx]

I believe that!

[@nyterpfan]

The reason the writers had Archie moonlighting as a cab driver was to create a realistic scenario for somebody like Archie Bunker to meet a celebrity like Sammy Davis JR. That was THE main purpose for creating that additional "subplot", if you will. (Obviously it worked out because this is probably the most famous AITF episode--still side-splitting hilarious 45 years later!!)

Daniel Ryan---I heard that too but he understood that Carroll O'Connor was not racist in real life.

[@67nairb]

Only meaner and more despicable than Archie. Cartman admired Hitler whereas Archie didn't. Archie told Mr. Davis he was dead set against slavery. Do you suppose he was pro-slavery and only said he was against it so's not to offend Mr. Davis? I don't think so. Archie was a decent man beneath all that bigotry and intolerance. Besides, American slavery ended 60 years before he was born.

Chanty was at a pretty combative event regarding a man who's said a bunch of shit about his wife exploiting him (despite the courts finding him more at fault mostly because he was extremely negligent - his daughter talked about that at length), (disease) (electronic artist) was being interviewed by a Gish Galloping and fallacy-slinging Infowars interviewer who was beyond reasonable (and trust me, if you're interviewed by a guy with an Infowars press pass, you're going to be defamed by them unless if you're Alex Jones and you're just so fucked up that you end up acting funny and cool), and the kid? Well, I'm gonna guess they're young and Trump wasn't exactly the most promising candidate. We shitposted him into the presidency. Besides, you need some thick skin to continue making fun of Trump's shitpost of a cabinet despite your own President saying "no don't make fun of me my HANDS ARE BIG GODDAMN IT."

[@dorkmax7073]

Man, this comment section is dedicated to missing the point. All in the Family was about a starkly conservative man in an age that had left his views behind. At one time, he may have been center, or even left of center, but as society grew more liberal with time, he couldn't change, so he seemed a relic of the past with these awful views. He thinks "slavery is bad" is progressive of him. He thinks "separate races, but respectful" is liberal. The whole point of the show, and the spinoffs, is that he if he's going to grow as a person, he has to realize the same truths the modern era had. Shows like this make the far right *wildly uncomfortable.* Because it confronts questions as to why liberal thought eventually becomes the norm with time. It suggests that they, too, will eventually be a relic of an old era, as everyone else realized more egalitarian thought. That's scary to them. So they denounce these kinds of shows as "political". "That show has an agenda. We should go back to television that didn't have a liberal agenda". Archie Bunker is a prime example of the fact that television has almost always been about equality and freedom, not just in their own time, but over time. Because today's leap forward is tomorrows drag into the stone age.

Sammy Davis is even able to put Archie down a couple of times in this episode, while making it appear to Archie that he's praising him.

That's when Hollywood was a different place

Archie had all the answers and the Meathead is still a meathead!

[@tommytruth7595]

Time has proven Archie correct.

[@dorkmax7073]

@@tommytruth7595 the whole point of the show was that Archie was never correct. Its making fun if him. You're both dumbasses

The northern Kingdoms were already in the America's, the Southern Kingdom is who was brought over.

So ahead of its time. Everything out in the open. We try and segregate and separate more than before.

Gotta love Norman Lear.. can you imagine TV without his stamp?.. and one of the best was All in The Family.. Jeffersons.. Good Times.. Maude didn't really do it for me after a season.. it was just repeating the same Women's lib mantra in different silly situations, which dried up finally.. the best "take" on Maude is when Carol Burnett did a spoof... it was funnier than all of Maude shows put together.. Look it up...

I meant so sad to see this show go.

[@leemavel6167]

This is who Peter Griffin was low-key modeled after?

[@edwardgaines6561]

Hmm...wasn't that guy in Dirty Harry IV? "Well, hello Horace..."

[@JnEricsonx]

I don't believe so. Same guy was in Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, and the Enforcer. Different character in each one.

[@Can-Duke]

Sad little Sammy,he endured so much ,attempting to cross-over in that era ,Sinatra one of his biggest advocates and very good friend became racially hostile towards Sammy at the end of rat pack run

[@brodycole5023]

Best scene ever

[@nothingemo]

I mean if blacks are so angry about slavery why are they still here? Pastor says that people just want to complain even when Jesus shows them prosperity

[@Jleed989]

Well, where are they supposed to go? I don’t like things here sometimes but I’m not equipped to go back to Europe where my ancestors were 150 years ago

Always show up late and want the benefits !

NAA-22LR PUG with .22 LR frangible rounds would be good for this idea.Single action and not going to pierce the fuselage

[@josephedric4081]

They changed it. I remember Archie saying, "normal countries", instead of white.

[@nm425]

Literally my grandpa

[@chefbee70]

TV WAS TV

[@michaelolin2219]

Sammy was cool.

[@tombradley37]

Our fathers were either Cliff Huxtable or Archie Bunker!

[@Boycott-Ai-NOW]

Nope! James Evans Sr was mostly our fathers... fun fact: He also appeared on All in the Family in its 1st season and spun off into Good Times which was created by Lionel (Mike Evans) who was also on All in the Family and was portrayed a "Michael Evans" on Good Times...

[@allezmontreal1711]

What's this about "You're 👪family" ? We can now put the racist past to rest.

[@Muertes-tf2oj]

Another good scene that was ruined by Meathead jumping the shark!

[@20alphabet]

Meathead Reiner always had to pipe in and discredit Archie. And he wasn't acting, portraying a character, that was really him!

[@Boycott-Ai-NOW]

I think 'most' actors are playing themselves...
