If Negro concern about "image" is to blame, supersensitivity could well limit even occasional TV employment, because guest roles in series frequently either hissable or laughable. It's the resident stars, after all, who are supposed to have all the virtues. Sammy Davis, is one performer who recognized long ago that it is neither realistic nor practical to insist that all Negro characters be sympathetic. Others have suggested that integration will really be a fact when Negroes can be shown to be as multifaceted as anybody else. Step in this direction will be made next season by ABC's "The Fugitive" when it films an episode with a Negro villain.
