Not Al Joelson in blackface!!!! 👀 The crazy thing about this is I grew up watching this, but this speaks volumes as to how much she knew that would offend and the impact that it would have. Samantha knew what blackface was. As a white woman she couldn’t get her way and she sacrificed everyone and the black person was her main target! She was manipulative and didn’t care. With her tactics she’d be the first one to scream I’m not racist, but her actions said other wise. This was an eye opener. This was well written and sends the message to black people. After years of being a part of their life and raising those kids you got to see what Samantha thought of Nell and others like her!

Networks were nothing like they are today. They did episodes on the hard topics. Even on the jeffersons amd archive bunker. It was about bringing things to the surface not being sensitive and afraid. That is why their was so much diversity because people were open and ready to see and talk about the difficult things. Now everybody is fearful, scared and sensitive. Instead of using things to open dialogue they just want to cancel things or people are on a uproar. Even going as far to mislabeling what they see. Sometimes its not what you see but the perceptions behind the sight.

Al Jolson blackface was not meant to make fun of black people. In his day, talented black entertainers were not allowed to perform for white audience. He thought the only way to fight this unfair treatment was to make himself black on stage. It was his way showing white people that black people can be creative and entertaining. People today are quick to play the victim and pull the race card. It only exposed them as ignorant and low info. Al Jolson was a humanitarian, and throughout his life he did a lot to promote and support talented black entertainers.

@@LovesDavidCassidy It was one of the earlier episodes from Season One. I remember it very clearly. She was like, "How would you feel if I called you a N@#$!*". This was at a time when they would use shock value dialogue.

She also said some cringe worthy stuff in the episode where she went with Nell to Alabama when Nell's father was dying. THEN she made Nell's father's funeral about her when she ran and blubbered to The Chief when he walked in during the service.

I was a teenager when this series was on, so I don't remember if this was filmed in front of a live audience or they used a laugh track. Not that I was fully aware of America's long, disturbing history concerning race when I was 15, but even then I was shocked to see Joey Lawrence in blackface, and it's creepy to hear the laughter during that scene. I know it's a sitcom, and by the mid-1980s the pursuit for social relevance on American TV in shows like All in the Family and The Jeffersons was pretty much dead and had given way to fluff like Mork and Mindy, but part of me is disturbed that people in a studio audience would think this is funny, decades after blackface had ended as an entertainment feature in the movies.

Arjay, I Was Never Creeped Out When I Saw Joey Wearing A Blackface. He Only Wanted To Surprise Nell In A Cheerful Way. Although It Was Really Samantha's Idea That Backfired On Her, & She Got Grounded For 2 Weeks.

They were laughing at the awkwardness of the situation. They sure as hell weren't laughing when Nell confronted Sam.

"Are you gonna hit her?" 😆😆 Back then, i REALLY believed that Nell was their mother. i was actually a little afraid of Nell in this show because i thought someone was going to get beat in every episode. Honestly, i was only 5, but i vaguely remember the chief or grandpa ever being there. i just saw Nell Carter and a bunch of kids.

I remember that - only on that episode it was the Chief that got upset and not Nell. Sam was trying to tell them that some kid was bullying her in school and called her a dumb Polack, and when they wouldn't hear her, she blurted out to Nell, "Well how would you feel if someone called you a nigger?!!" Nell heard the context of what she said and didn't get mad, but the Chief only heard the "N-word" and flipped out.

Elements of this episode could’ve actually made separate episodes.,There could be a whole episode about Samantha lying about boys being on the camping trip and then Nell finding out and crashing it. If they wanted to do a black face episode they really shouldn’t have made Samantha be the person behind it. Totally unrealistic she would go as low as that just because she wasn’t allowed to go on a coed camping trip. A better idea would’ve been a racist friend of Joeys giving him the idea.

The writers already had Samantha go "that low" in the first season when she called Neil the N word, as comparison to being called a Polish slur. It was done both out of ignorance and maliciousness, as a way to get attention. Same with this episode. It was a way to punish Neil by having Joey, the newish "baby" of the family hurt her by pulling this stunt.

Nabinut She said how much you like it if someone called you a ****. In the three years in between the two episodes considering what Sam Nell went through Completely against their relationship she would stoop to what she did. It was still wrong but she didn’t directly call Nell that in the first season. Joey had been around a year so it’s a little unrealistic all the sudden Sam would act petty jealousy of him. Something a little more realistic would’ve been Samantha talking joey into doing a rap song Or any kind of goofy she would think would embarrass him. The grandfather bears some responsibility too because he’s the one who suggested Joey sing a song with such a racist roots. I would think a black church would be offended by just that song being performed even if it wasn’t in black face
