However, in his mind, it’s alright for blacks to make fun of blacks, since they’re black. We whites cannot make fun of them.
And they can make fun of us because we deserve it, for taking them by force out of Africa.
Barf alert! We’re a better country when we laugh at ourselves!
Anyone want to bet that media charactures of white, snaggle-toothed, redneck MAGA hicks are perfectly fine with this cuck?
Exactly. I have yet to meet a modern day liberal who isn’t always angry and looking for something to be mad at, and if you aren’t mad at the things they are they are even madder and angry.
Then they wonder why people shun them.
This is where this author, who admits that "I watched this film on Netflix for the first time the other night" loses it to his ignorance.
The author is apparently too young to realize that the "One of the White passengers turns out to be “fluent in Jive” was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mother in Leave It To Beaver. The "joke" was not that some white lady spoke jive to black men, it was that Barbara Billingsley spoke jive to black men. The "identity of the character" was the joke, and was not "irrelevant" as the author presumed.

“How about “Blazing Saddles”?
One of the greatest Mel Brooks movies ever if not the greatest. I have it on DVD and haul it out now and then just to remind myself of what we have lost.
I read a piece from an interview with Brooks where he said those movies he made including Saddles and History of the World and Space Balls could never be made today.
Jerry Seinfeld also commented that stand up comedy was dead because performers are terrified of saying the wrong thing.
It happened because we let it happen and will continue until we stop it.
IMHO, Airplane did more to further the cause of anti racism than ail the woke race baiting identity politics trolls on the planet.
Winston Churchill once said that there was no more more retrograde force in mankind than Islam. it's debatable, but today's Woke progressives Marxists with their racial/identify politics Sharia may actually be moving into top spot.
And don't call me Shirley
I would say that about Blazing Saddles.
The producers were shocked that the audiences of Zero Hour thought it was a comedy!!!
Of course the Fags hate it because of the portray of “Johnny”.
And you would be correct
The film was actually written by a white guy, Michael McCullers. A white savior film!
From the article:
“It’s not even that these jokes aren’t funny in and of themselves; what matters is who is telling the joke. In the case of Airplane!, all three of the directors are White. There are also three additional White writers, and another three White producers. This is a team of all White men writing jokes targeting People of Color, which immediately makes it a White interpretation of a Person of Color.”
I wonder if the author gets just as hot and bothered about Get Out, a black-directed film that accurately casts white liberals as the real racists and trades in stereotypes about affluent white liberals. I doubt it.
Racial humor is not necessarily Racist humor.
Racial humor is how a healthy diverse society laughs at itself.
When Conan O’Brian referred to Irish-Americans as Drunken-Americans, it was appropriately funny.
Dumbest article I’ve ever read.
Lighten up, Nathanael.
I’ll bet Nathaniel has a very difficult time taking a dump.
Lighten up, Shirley.
Looks pretty much like one too.
Mash had Spearchucker Jones. That was brought over from the movie and after a few episodes he was gone.
