have you ever been to Afghanistan? i don't care what some text book says, none of those people looked white to me
I love me some good racism in movies as much as the next guy, but I would just like to know why you were watching Superbabies 2?? The first one was clearly superior to the second.

word. one of the best movies of all time.
Not all German soldiers, let alone German people were cruel. They also were victims of the Nazis. German soldiers took over my moms town in Italy and she always said a German captain she met was a gentleman.

Not only is German a race, it is a master race.
I found Blazing Saddles to be EXTREMELY offensive because I have no sense of humor rabble rabble rabble. . .
(seriously though, genius movie- I remember my dad, his father, and I all dying laughing at that and History of the World, Pt 1 when I was too young to get most of the dirty jokes)
Blazing Saddles is funny.
I just watched it again last week for the first time in a while.
It couldn't be made today.
It was pretty much making fun of racist white people but it is pretty hard to watch a white person call a black person a n... to their face, even in the context of a joke.
Example:
Black sheriff says hello to nice old white lady.
Her response, "Up yours n..."
Later, after he saves the town from Mongo, she comes to him in private thanking him and says "Sorry for the up yours n..." She then comes back and says "you won't tell anyone we spoke will you?"
Richard Pryor was one of the writers giving it some black credit.
But I wonder how many black people can watch this movie today and laugh.

I also came to the conclusion, watching movies, that the most hazardous and futile situation a soldier could find himself in - was being ordered on sentry duties.
Have you ever seen a sentry on duty in movies who wasn’t instantly and easily disposed of?
The distant descendants of those soldiers who had kids before going to war and dying will become security guards on the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century. Their last words will be something along the lines of, "Captain! Over here! I've found something....Ahhhhhhhhh!"

I didn't think 'The Jerk' was as an "Equal Opportunity Offender" as is Blazzing Saddles. No one - white, black, asian, et al - gets out of Blazzing Saddles alive.

Taggart: [on learning Bart is the new sheriff of Rock Ridge] Now if that don't beat all. Here we take the good time and trouble to slaughter every last Indian in the West, and for what? So we can appoint a sheriff that's blacker than any Indian. I am depressed.

I think it's racist when tv shows and movies make the black guy the computer nerd. Or have trying to be PC and have some girl kick a grown man's @ss.
Angelina Jolie could learn every type of karate known to man but she would get crushed by your typical male.

I encourage you to go down to your local dojo and loudly proclaim your ability (as a typical male) to "crush" any woman in there.
Take a friend with you so he can take video and post the results on youtube. Report back tomorrow.

I don't think that is quite true. I could be wrong as it has been many years since I have watched a silly Mel Brooks movie, but I don't recall any poking fun at jews in this Jewish written and produced movie.

Taggart: I got it! I know how we can run everyone out of Rock Ridge.
Hedley Lamarr: How?
Taggart: We'll kill the first born male child in every household.
Hedley Lamarr: [after some consideration] Too Jewish.
The Indian Chief spoke Yiddish.
Hitler is in the food fight toward the end...
lots of other over the head zingers...

I give you the first one. I don't think an Indian speaking Yiddish is making fun of Jewish people. As far as the third, In understand that Jewish Orgs now think they own all rights to Hitler but come on
