Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy

You have to purchase the star on the walk of fame. If that makes this subject anymore palatable.....it ain't free

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Never given the opportunity to actually see the show and knowing nothing about it before watching this documentary, I was glad to see all of the clips and wish there had been more. Let's just say the opinion of too many or not enough clips- well, it depends one's prior knowledge of the show.

Very funny. I think the show could have word-for-word been played by white actors with southern accents. Where I live, many people of all colors use the same dialect. I didn't find it offensive at all.

Like it, hate it, I do believe that everyone should be able to have the opportunity to see the show. Why does a special interest group get to tell us what we can and cannot watch?

Thanks, NAACP and other groups like the EPA, for taking all the joy out of our lives.

This documentary is well done. Although I'm not pleased with the aspect of Amos and Andy that demeaned african-american people, I thought the documentary itself was interesting and well-done from the documentary filmmakers perspective.

So the two white guys who did Amos & Andy in blackface get a star each on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And none of the all-black cast that made the t.v. show so popular during it's time did. Can't say that I'm surprised.

I believe the poster was referring to what came before the all black cast tv show, white men in blackface, and the minstrel show in general.The commenters comments reveal so much about them. Anybody with wisdom of any race reading these I am sure are not suprised. Just sigh, shake your head and move on. It's not going to change, trust me.

You would be surprised by what comes out of people's mouth's. Haven't you heard slavery was good for blacks because it allowed them to come to this country and benefit from it's bounty instead of living in a hut in backwards Africa. They should be grateful! Oh, Americans are such lovely people.

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
