30 Rock: Racist NBC Show (with Jon Hamm)

Amos & Andy was an old Vaudeville act with two white actors, in black face, playing caricatures of two black men. The act eventually made it to radio where it was very popular and then to TV. Once the show made t to television, the network got all black actors to play all of the parts. This show was probably one of the first shows on TV with an all black cast. The NAACP always objected to the show and demonstrated to get the show taken off the air.

I believe the show was called "Amos 'n' Andy"

[Znoopie]

The show is called "The Honeymooners" which is what the Flintstones is based on.

It was quite racist, but thankfully ended in 1953.

Yeah and minstrel show's were totally not racist either.

[DebisisRobustus]

it's not so much as racist as it's not FUNNY. And I'm not just talking about Jon Hamm.
