...that the show, in its 180 episodes, only had one black actor, Sam McDaniel, who appeared only in one episode, playing a role of servitude, as a porter.
Man, if only Lucy and Ricky had used their show as a platform to elevate people and make America a little more comfortable with black people.
Why does it matter? We are just people. They didn't have many Asian characters either does that matter?
shareBecause this show had black viewers too. Because places like New York didn't have strict segregation like the south, and it would have helped white, segregated America feel more at ease with their fellow citizens of color.
shareWhat about Arnaz, who was the first Latin TV star? And he was gorgeous, brilliant and was the great voice behind the scenes. Despite their being married in real life, Ball had to fight CBS to cast him.
But if you want to throw some shade on a classic, 70 year TV show, that's your beef.
I dunno. You sound like you need a hobby.
The show can cast whoever they want, they donโt have to operate on a quota system just to make you happy. Iโm pretty sure the show never had an anti-black message in it so get the hell over it
shareDid they check the vertically-challenged box on your scorecard?
shareUGH...YOU SUCK.๐
sharePorter was one of the best jobs for blacks, plenty of tips.
BTW, only SJWs say POC!
If only the woke mafia would have started calling all white people "RACISTS" in the 60s instead of now.
FUCK.
