As for "Reading like it was written by a racist white guy" that's because or was the 50's and that was almost everyone in television at that time was, a racist white guy. Hell, this was a time when, if a coloured actor won an Oscar, they weren't allowed to go to the award ceremony.

Alright so, no. 

1.) Admitting that there's a problem with the post and how it's received, then immediately following it with a justification of how it was written is bull.

2.) I didn't say it "read like it was written by a racist white guy" I said John Stewart's portion "read more like a racist white guy doing blackface." As in, not the writing, but the character itself felt hammed up and caricatured to the point where it seemed more like a white person donning black face and playing the role of John Stewart rather than a black person. 

3.) It's not written that way because "everyone in the 50's was a racist white guy," it's written that way because it's not written well. Re: my 'Leave it to Beaver vs. Uncle Tom's Cabin' comment. Do you understand what I'm getting at? Put simply: one of the errors in that post was taking racist depictions of a black person from the late 1800's and placing it in the 1950's. Those racist white guy writers didn't lean into stereotypes to such a degree. 

Stop trying to justify the post. I'm pretty sure your intent is understood and what you were trying to do. That's not the issue. The issue is that is wasn't done [i]well[/i] or with the amount of tact that would make something like that read well. 

EDIT: And really? Coloured person? Really, hun?
