        blaming the south for racism was just as goofy then as it is now. gives liberals a smug sense of superiority without identifying the underlying issues and systems that they perpetuate too

          it was a show created by a liberal who didn’t understand what socialism is.

          also; back then; thinly veiled portrayals of civil rights on tv felt revolutionary for american liberals.
