Yes, Amy was black.

If a soap did this today they'd probably have a white person trying to pass for black. (For some reason I imagine that story going to Gigi...)

If a soap did this today it would become a part of their move towards ethnic cleansing. Like Blair went from Asian to white, we'd say black characters turned into white people overnight. RJ, Layla,Neil,Drucilla, Lexie would all become white suddenly.

AMC did the story in the mid 1990's. When Tom and Livia bought a house in a white neighborhood, they started getting threats. Taylor Roxbury-Cannon went undercover as a white woman and started hanging out with the white kids who were plotting to blow up Tom and Livia's house.

That sounds interesting. Any of that story on Youtube?

The Bells have NEVER been able to "do minorities" comfortably.

They did to an extent.

Mamie was perfectly fine as were Dru, Liv, Nathan, Lillie Bell, Walter Nate & Neil.

MALCOLM was the problem.

Always was & ALWAYS will be.

i read backlash made him drop niel/victoria

It wasn't just the studio getting hate mail.

The actors were getting it AT THEIR HOMES.

I do remember reading something about KSJ recieving death threats.

Such a damn shame....

Neil/Victoria was LOVE!

Neil/Victoria were horrible. lol

:lol:

Neil/Victoria were horrible. lol

LOL, I loved them.

LOL, I loved them.

What was to love?

What was to love?

Not much. I always fall for couples that are destined to fail.

May I ask Why?

That's horrible, especially when you think about the year. You'd think society would have come a long way from the 50's.

May I ask Why?

Bill & the audience LOVED Shemar so much that they wrote FOR him & against everyone else.

Not that Bill disliked the other actors & characters but that EVERYONE went under the bus for him.

That's horrible, especially when you think about the year. You'd think society would have come a long way from the 50's.

It really was horrible. Especially since Kristoff & Heather got less story then than Kristoff & Eileen do now.

As far as society progressing? Just look at current society. We have a minority President & several out gay elected officials but almost NONE of that is reflected in television beyond the token or the stereotype.

It's pathetic. Soaps doing "the gay storyline" is something that is trumpeted with fanfare and adoration even though I can turn on Wheel of damn Fortune and see a 60 year old woman who lives "at home with my life partner Barbara and our four chocolate labs."

Those in charge really just don't get it. I doubt they ever will.

I always thought it was "My very BEST friend of 25 years, Barbara." But I digress.

And I agree with you and DeeDeee.

When was this Wheel episode? I always think of Pat Sajak as being a bit too socially conservative for that, glad to know I was wrong...
