The Ugandan Headhunter. I'll go out on a limb and say you couldn't get away with that character and those story lines today. We had some interesting, crazy, inappropriate stuff for entertainment not long ago.
ISWYDT.Who was it he slept with to get that title match against Hogan?
I know at one point he was living somewhere around Senatobia. They would see him at the grocery store. He was in pretty bad shape by then.Pretty sad ending to his life. Diabetes kicked his butt. Had a some amputations. My mom knew someone that was his caretaker. I believe in the Oxford area.
Fun fact: Jerry Lawler was the one who came up with the gimmick and painted him up originally.View attachment 613629

Chapelle's show was awesome. Some truly amazing skits. And I think we're starting to see some of that coming back after the little moral scolds had their run before Elon bought Twitter.I
I kinda agree with Chapelle in that Cancel Culture is hurting the entertainment industry. Why can't we have shows like All in the Family & Jeffersons anymore? I think Kamala & Afro Man would make a good Tag Team or they could do s music video together.
In some respects, you do. I think that what constitutes social progressivism today is just different than what it was in the 70's.I

I've heard Jerry tell the story of after several times Kamala asked him "Why you gotta paint a banana on my belly?", and Lawler, stunned, goes "James, that's a moon!"Fun fact: Jerry Lawler was the one who came up with the gimmick and painted him up originally.
All in the Family made fun of Bunker; it didn't make him look like some normal good guy. Shows like The Jeffersons made us ALL laugh and brought us together as opposed to today's divisive "progressivism" that is ladened with angry vitriol pretending we're still in the 1950's.In some respects, you do.

The problem was there were plenty of folks that didn't get Norman Lear's joke, they felt Archie was articulating their politics and feelings on television. They found it very empowering.All in the Family made fun of Bunker; it didn't make him look like some normal good guy.

Today’s social progressivism is solely about division. It demands us to look inward & outward to see what makes us different and segregate ourselves based on sex, race, politics, etc. It’s literally turning back the clock to pre-MLK.In some respects, you do. I think that what constitutes social progressivism today is just different than what it was in the 70's.
My perception is that it is just poorer quality writing. All in The Family, you mostly had the writers portray Archie in a way that made it clear that he was foolish when it came to racism and xenophobia. About as close as you got the writers telling you what to think was Mike and Archie going at it and the ensuing dialog.All in the Family made fun of Bunker; it didn't make him look like some normal good guy.

If the bacon thread wasn’t safe, no thread is safeyall gonna get a thread about a wrestling character locked... what the f---ing hell....
Is Ron Swanson the modern day version of Archie Bunker? Discuss
He would head butt the 17 out of youWhen I was in school (pre Kamala) we watched wrestling every week on TV. The undisputed regional fan favorite that took on all the bad guys wrestled under the name "Burrhead Jones" . He was a good man who lived a long and full life.

that s what im sayin.... it s a nice little comical thread about a wrestler who was from around here, then someone brings up cancel culture. well if you post it they will come. then it turns into something political. then vhdawg and thatsbaseball try to reel it back in to it s original intent, only to be brought back into a discussion about being socially engineered ... i have to run some errands but when i get back i fully expect to see the thread on Kamala the Ugandan Warrior locked...If the bacon thread wasn’t safe, no thread is safe
No, because Ron Swanson isn't a misogynist. He just an extreme libertarian.Is Ron Swanson the modern day version of Archie Bunker? Discuss
BTW, Chapelle's two skits on reparations are funny as hell. But while watching it I also thought "that's what my white redneck cousins would do with that money too."Chapelle's show was awesome. Some truly amazing skits. And I think we're starting to see some of that coming back after the little moral scolds had their run before Elon bought Twitter.
Pro wrestling had better writers than those on SNL. They created some funny as hell characters and plot lines.yall gonna get a thread about a wrestling character locked... what the f---ing hell....
^^^This needs to be quoted in one of those boxes on X because it's the damn truth!Today’s social progressivism is solely about division.

Racism has declined but race relations are worse. White progressives have a lot to answer for as they (falsely) position themselves as the saviors of the marginalized in America^^^This needs to be quoted in one of those boxes on X because it's the damn truth!
