The only caricatures on A & A ,the TV show, were George “Kingfish” Stevens, and “Lightning” the custodian at the lodge hall “The Mystic Knights of the Sea”. All of the other people were doctors, lawyers professors etc. The NAACP had them takin’ of the air, but they won’t talk about Rap music or what passes for comedy today. I have the complete set of A &A on dvd. I’m Black and live in South Central
Aside from the tragic death of a youth, this is media hype. Of the 200 million people in the U.S. there are probably similar cases with reversed colors, a Black on Black, or Black on White or Brown on Black, or Asian on Black or Native American on asian etc. I was saw a report about a white cop who shot a white guy that was TOTALLY naked. But the media and the powers that be, hype the **** vs. Black, because THEY want to keep us at each others throats, so that we don’t go after THEM!
I was 15 and did not want to watch the Monkees, but had to because my little sisters wanted to. Then in one episode during the comedy montage, Mike was wrestling with a small stuffed tiger. i laughed until my sides hurt. from that day forward I was a fan. Interestingly, my favorite song is “Cuddly Toy”
For the Girl vs Woman controversy, watch the first episode of Supergirl on CBS.
