What would you do if your significant other came out as Transgender?

You mean the WW2 vet who worked all his life and cared for his wife until death? Sure beats the hell out of your role model, Meathead, who abandoned his wife and son to run off with one of his students to a commune.
Why am I not surprised that you didn't understand the point of the show at all?
Yes, the old bigot, he was the butt of the joke, not the hero.

“I don’t know how many Americans are as short-sighted as Archie. He’s an ignorant man. He’s popular on TV, because viewers enjoy watching him, but I don’t think many of them would have him for a friend or feel they share his traits. Remember, Archie is a victim, too. He’s a victim of his own background and education. His thinking was shaped at an early age when he was inculcated with bigotry. He got it from his parents.

“I’m not making Archie lovable,” he added. “I’m making him a human being. And there’s always an element of love in a human being.”


I'm guessing the bolded part applies to you as well.
 
Like are you suggesting a heterosexual person stay in a homosexual relationship because of money? I'm sure we'd figure out a way to separate.
Clearly you’re not heterosexual in that situation. How could you be married to someone and not realize they weren’t all in on being a woman?

Archie, and his former neighbor, George Jefferson, were flawed men. But their flaws never hurt anyone. In fact, both were shown to be good and decent men when it really mattered. Unlike Archie’s son-in-law, who betrayed his wife and child.

Again, I am in no way surprised that you think Archie was the hero of the show and think his bigotry was just a 'flaw' that 'didn't hurt anyone'.

Naturally you know more about the character than the person who portrayed him.

Carol O’Connor and Norman Lear’s intentions are irrelevant. Doesn’t matter what they intended, only what was communicated to the audience.

Funny how you gave George Jefferson a pass. Oh yeah, I forgot, bLaCk PeOpLe CaN’t Be RaCiSt . 😂😂😂

JFC, right only your opinion matters. If the bigot thinks the other bigot was the hero he must be.
Jefferson was a bigot too, he was not a role model either.
Stick with digging ditches, your opinion on that is probably valid.

I remember the episode where Archie rejected the KKK and George gave CPR to save a klansman.

But yeah, “Reeeeeeeee!!!! He said “colored”!!!!”

Or “Reeeeeeeee!!!!! He called them “zebras”!!!!”

(sigh) you foolish little soy people.

JFC dude, the shows were made to illustrate that the ingrained bigotries were wrong and that even bigots could see that if presented with real people and not just the ideas that there were raised with.
The fact that all that flew over your head and the message you got was 'bigots are decent people' surprises absolutely no one who has read your week of shit posts.

Actually, the message, which flew over your head (granted, a low bar), was that at the end of the day, they were both good, but flawed men. But you keep harping on the non substantive stuff if it suits you, skittles.

Yeah, I can see why Oklahoma ranks 49th in the United States for education

I knew you’d eventually resort to “Reeeeeeeee!!!!””-ing, skittles. Have a White Claw and a Ritalin.

PS: I’m sorry I remind you of your parents and grandparents. And I’m sorry you can’t appreciate them.

lol, look junior just because you're a bigot like in the old days doesn't make you older or wiser.

Jefferson was an asshole who was forced to do the right thing by people in his life. He's not a hero either.

The fact that you want to pretend that the these people are role models just proves that you're a backward hick.

Now go self medicate with a 24 pack of natty light like you do most nights.

😂😂😂 Yeah, AB and GJ were just a bunch nAzIs, eh?

I sure hope you never watched Southpark or Family Guy, or if you did, I hope you had a paper bag to breathe into afterward. SMH.
 
SouthPark is hilarious. It makes fun of assholes like you who are literally too stupid to understand that.

Nazis? No. Assholes? Yes.
I understand why you would never consider this, but the heroes of those shows were their wives. They were the people that made them see that their prejudices were wrong and to do the right thing in the end. Maybe if you can one day afford a mail order bride she can do that for you.
 
I’d probably ask one more time if I can PIITB and tell her if she lets me, then I will let her as well. Even trade.

Good grief you invest way too much emotion into things. AB was just a typical working class white guy from Queens, and his attitudes on various issues made for some really funny television. GJ was a blue collar black guy who bought a dry cleaning business with a settlement check and grew it into a successful chain. Again, his attitudes on various issues made for some funny television. None of these were Abe Lincoln or MLK type concepts. Don’t be such a drama queen.

LMFAO. Yes, they were just comedies like Big Bang Theory. There was no underlying social message. Well done!
