When questioned by a patronizing trooper, the driver, actually an
articulate college man, professed in an Amos 'n' Andy accent
not to know how to repair the flat. However, as actress Marla Gibbs pointed out on a television
documentary about censorship, apropos of African-Americans, it
wasn't that Amos 'n' Andy was necessarily a bad
representation of blacks so much as it was the only one. The show is more like Star Trek meets Amos 'n' Andy. |
