If you didn’t hear about a movie being released called “The American Society of Magical Negroes” then you couldn’t be blamed. It’s not a movie that was given a ton of attention…or at least positive attention.
The movie is probably one of the most racist things that has ever been put to a silver screen. The summary is that the protagonist is a young black man who is welcomed into a secret society of magical black people whose entire existence is to make white people feel safe and cared about. Throughout the movie, the protagonist struggles with his new role and eventually falls in love with a girl. However, when the white person he’s charged with looking after also falls in love with the girl, he’s told he can no longer pursue her.

If you’re really going to make a movie that condemns racism and highlights the absurdity of it, then I’ll refer you to probably the best condemnation of racism Hollywood ever produced; “Blazing Saddles.”
“Blazing Saddles” was a hysterical movie with a great message behind it, delivered in such a way that left everyone laughing. More importantly, it left everyone laughing at racism.

‘West Side Story’
Always a favorite of mine. Have you seen the re-make by Steven Spielberg?
I was blown away. So impressed. And the kids in the movie are all pretty much unknowns. Star-maker, for sure. I loved it...and I am always super-critical of re-makes.
The genius of Mel Brooks and comics who followed in his approach, left no stone unturned and went after EVERYONE. Made fun of EVERYONE. Left us all laughing with and at each other.
Try making a movie like that now and watch what happens. Sad.
And they falsely project onto their opponents like good little demonrats do.
Ashleigh The Lion?
Ashleigh the Ghettopotamus, more like.
Looks like she ate an elephant for lunch.0p
I cannot fathom how some people have the nerve to appear in public in the get ups they are wearing.
I thought she was why Hansel and Gretel were never heard from again. When little children started staying away she found a new career telling white people how evil they are.
Are you serious?????? Racism was not the plot!
There are story lines which intertwine the subject matter. However today, its the entire story line, theme, and subject matter.
“The American Society of Magical Negroes”. Dang! I must’ve missed me this epic movie!
I’m always outa the loop 😢
Lost puppy syndrome?
Ok that wasn’t the title of the movie - that was just a musical number in the greatest comedy film ever made
The gift is strong in that one.
LOL! Someone recently posted about how a nurse found coins and stuff falling out of the folds of an obese patient. Should have checked their dates to see if they were valuable.
A limit over $1 million box office after debuting in 1141 theatres. I can’t find what the production cost was.
I don’t think I’ve used the word in all the 23+ years I’ve posted here but ... that’s gross! lol
Have you lost your fingers and toes counting skills ?!
Nine out of ten are black man/ white woman .
It’s fun playing spot the white hetro guy.
She looks like she just swallowed Chris Christie and Jerry Nadler.
