What missed often, is what is racist are those claiming racism! And B&W MistralS ...that wasn't ever meant as racist... But it would be interesting to know what black people at the time thought of it, and if they watched it? ...I kinda remember it on TV! But then my family where a very old fashioned lot! ...when we lived in Bahrain we had a 'house boy' which is basically a cleaner/odd jobs person. But my Uncle in the UK had a maid, who was a very nice British lady! And the last home my mother owed, she had cleaners, a gardener, and even someone to come in a do her ironing! lol... and they were all white.
I remember Michael Jackson's funeral, which disgustingly was hijacked by racists in one part... who were totally going against everything (good) Michael stood for! Even stating "we has USA for Africa, then the whites had to copy us with Band Aid"... seriously? Anyway, a normal thinking person stepped in pointing out how mistaken they were... due to their racism!
As for me.... I've lived in 10 countries, born in the Andes, brought up in 3 different countries, English is the 3rd language I learnt (and the only one remembered lol) Have had friends from all over the world!

@@raoularmagnac2037 - Well, I can agree on that. After all, performing on live television is NEVER so simple at all and that is purely tragic indeed. What bothers me is having seen the performers of "SNL" having to rely on cue cards instead of memorizing lines for reading. Furthermore, some of the show's hosts over the years have done such an awful job of not doing well when performing in the sketches that have since become very cringeworthy. So I definitely have understood what "SNL" had become already.

@@benfisher1376 Agreed, and Spike tended to refer to himself as an Irish citizen who’d spent the early part of his life in India. He knew a lot about India but, by any accounts I’ve come across, never referred to himself as Indian.

Spike was frequently “edgy” in his comedy and courted controversy in his sketch show “Q”, with the Irish O’Lympics (a ramshackle athletics competition), and his Pakistani Dalek sketch. Plus there was another sitcom he was involved in called Curry and Chips, which was just as controversial as The Melting Pot.

Genius though he could be, Spike also had many inappropriate moments. Let’s call him a complex character ….

I grew up when the B&W minstrel show was on, think I'd seen them cause my parents watched them, not ever week though. I found them boring, so glad it's history now. As for Spike Milligan, was only aware of his Pakistani Dalek sketch. He voices a Dalek wearing a turbin with a Pakistani accent.

The funniest thing about the B&W Minstrel Show was that Lenny Henry performed in it! True.

Milligan was born in India his Father was Irish. Because of this, I imagine that, Spike felt that this fact. Gave him Cart Blanche to send both cultures up.

Consider this. In the 1970s, "All In The Family" was very popular, and the whole USA loved the TV show despite its controversial humor and settings. Today, even TV Land and MeTV won't show this legendary sitcom. You have to subscribe and stream the show to watch it. See how times always change?

If you have to pay for TV, it’s no holds barred. If it’s free TV, it’s filled with commercials and it’s become so politically correct (and yes that includes the American version of The Office) that the shows are not humorous or funny.

I was shocked to find out that a minsterl show ran on British TV for twenty years. I know there is racism in England but I never thought a show like that would be popular over there since most people in England are more accepting of mixed marriages than they are in the U.S. Don't get me wrong I love our country but even African American Servicemen with white wives have said people here in our own country had a bigger problem with them walking hand in hand with their white. Wives than they did in England. I am not surprised that a show like that would be popular in England during the 50s because a lot if Brits back than were fascinated by all things American even if those things represented America's dark side such as originzed crime for instance. I heard young British hoodlums in the 1930s, 40s and 50s liked to imitate American Gangsters. They saw in the movie. However I thought white actors would in black face would have gone out of style in England by 1968 instead of 1978. I'm not trying to sit in judgement I 'm supprised such a show stayed on the air for twenty years in England.

I was born in England in 1981.The black and white minstrel show was done before then. But I remember my mum buying marmalade which had little tokens of Gollywogs on them… until about 88/89. And while it is/was racist I think at the time it was not thought of as being so…. Not that I condone it, but I don’t think it came from a place of hate.

I had mixed race kids at my school. And my Mums cousin is married to a Black Briton of West Indian decent (he is English though. Born in the East Midlands). I never heard or saw any racism aimed at black people other than on tv… nearly all the racism I heard was aimed at Indian/Pakistani Asians… mostly from other Asians but sometimes from whites ….

It was still rare, in my view… though I must admit it wouldn’t feel that way to victims of it. and I I think the worst period for anti black racism in the UK was the 1950s… when the first wave of W.I migrants was settling in…. But since they were Anglo-phones and christians they were generally able to merge in with the white population easier than the waves of Muslim and Hindu Asians that arrived in the 60s and 70s.

@emerycandy326

@@Tiwaz81 Hi Matt A. Thank you for sharing those stories with me. I was in England but over the past 41 years I have met English immigrants , tourists, and other Americans who visited Great Britian and told me about strife between whites, people of East Indian descent and Pakistani descent. And I hope you will pardon me for bringing this up but I also rember meeting visiting Boy Scouts from England who were bitter towards the Irish mostly because if the IRA bombing campaigns and the tragic era known as the Troubles that began in 1969 and dragged on into the 1990s. When lived in Venice FL. From 1986-2018 things were kind of unusual between English and Irish immigrants. Most English especially those of Irish stock be it Orange or Green got along well with thier Irish born nieghbors in spite of all the unpleasant history. However during my last couple of years things changed. Well hope my reply wasn't too long winded and I didn't reopen any old wounds for you. Stay safe and healthy and when this awful pandemic is finally under control maybe I can come to your country as a peaceful tourist and aly of course.
