Would Archie Bunker be crucified today?

Well a local radio shock jock was finally fired for lynching of a group of basketball players in New Jersey.

Given the public clamor you would have to believe that's what happened this week.

Out of curiosity, could you put a show like All in the Family on the air in the year 2007? When this show came on in 1973(?), it was controversial to say the least, but it seems like we are able to have a more free discussion of race in this country back in 1973 then we can 34 years later.

I just find that it's amazing that instead of a honest discussion about race, we continue to get this incredible shout down by the usual suspects.

I don't think George Jefferson would have approved.
