Amazing to think where we were then to now. Humor was making fun of yourself back then.
One quip from Milton Berle when Slappy White said, “what about the Jews?” Berle replied, “You need the Jews; Blacks have the rhythm, but Jews have the instruments.”

It’s like we’re going backwards.

We were far from perfect back then, but it is hard to believe that we have actually regressed since then.

No, just that sensitivities were different then.

No, if it was backwards all these people wouldn't dare be acting this way.

We used to enjoy each other and work and provide for ourselves.

I watched some Don Rickles videos of him ripping on people and the things he got away with back then would have him crucified today.

Had drinks with Redd in the late 80’s in Vegas. We ( me and my first wife) went to one of his comedy shows. Anyway he messed with us during his show( we were sitting up front) everything from oral sex , to what position and she goes black she’s never coming back. After the show the guard came and got us to come have drinks at a private bar back stage with girlfriend ( Asian lady). He. told how he had to do stand up because the IRS had taken everything he had. Redd was really a good guy and funny. I know CSB

Yep. Don Rickles lived and died at the right time.

Yeah. There is the story that Eddie Murphy cast him in his last sitcom to help him get out of debt. Della Reese was in it as well. He died during filming.
