tikkunolamorgtfo:answertolifeis42:tikkunolamorgtfo:harleyismyhero:spiderine:allofthefeelings:I just did some quick research; the episode (ep 23 of season 2) is called “Some of my Best Friends are Rhodas” and this article includes an embedded video where you can watch the whole thing.I had never seen this episode before, and even spoiled for the scene by this gifset (which, thank you OP! I never would have known about the episode otherwise), I was surprised at how moved I was to watch this sequence unfold.1972, people. This isn’t some faraway sepia-toned history. It was an episode of a hit sitcom, and it was controversial. It was discussed in media as a big deal. You don’t get to tell me antisemitism is “over”. You don’t get to “bundle it in” at your counterprotests and tell me that your anti-racist chants and speeches “include antisemitism of course” (someone actually told me that). When you are dealing with REAL LIVE NAZIS waving REAL LIFE SWASTIKAS you had fucking well better put your “well yeah, of course” support for Jews FRONT AND CENTER.There was also an episode of Golden Girls that came out in 1988 that had a similar plot. 1988 is the year I was born. This is not distant history. This shit is RECENT. This shit is CURRENT. Y’all need to straighten up and deal with it.Shit, I remember watching this episode on Nick and Nite as a child, and thinking it was relevant to my life in the 1990s. here is the Golden Girls scene that was mentioned This is even better once you realise that Bea Arthur’s real name was Bernice Frankel and that she was, in fact, an MOT sticking it to the anti-Semites! -- source link
