OK - I'm still a bit of a newcomer to the board here, so bear with me if this topic has been covered 1000 times. I have often been curious about how few Black actors I have noticed on TAGS. I am not the trained noticer that so many of y'all are, but I do consider myself an advaced amateur. My guesses are:
1. Early 60's, and it was just common across all prime-time television 2. Fewer Black actors in general 3. I'm not really familiar with the racial demographics of NC, or that part of the state in particular. Were Blacks just a very small percentage of the local population? Regardless - I recently saw the episode when Earnest T. comes to town in search of a uniform, and I noticed 2 young Black gentlemen in the Army recruiting office. Are there other episodes that include 2 or more Blacks?
