It's incredibly funny, but there's no way in hell that movie would ever be made today. I recall thinking if you really paid attention that it was just as much of a play on stupid white people as it was racist.

Of course it was., but when Chris Rock says ****** everybody laughs. When Slim Pickins says it everybody cringes. What a ****ed up world we live in when we can't make fun of things anymore.

The first time I ever saw it was with my dad. I remember him laughing so hard at that he had tears rolling down his cheeks.


I really really miss him.

I still miss mine after almost 20 years. He spent time with me and my brother, and took us camping and to major sporting events when we were boys. Great memories.

Asian woman I work with was brought a Mexican guy to train. She went to the office and told them she didn't like Mexicans, and wasn't working with him. I'd that racist? If that had been a white man say that, he'd been fired, guaranteed.

I remember watching it with my mouth open, in shock. Equal opportunity offenders on all fronts and laughing my butt off in between shock moments. "schnitzengruben baby"

Mexican isn't a race.
What if you said you didn't like Canadians? Or Germans?

I'm still blessed with a father. He's 86 and taught me many good things. I'm glad y'all have good memories of your dad's.
Mine took me hunting and i was his mini mechanic working on cars. Pretty atypical for a chick but hanging out with mom was boring.

Hollywood Sign - Wikipedia

so a couple fun facts I at least didn't know. The Hollywood sign is racist (1). at least it was when it was the Hollywoodland (2) sign.

The sign was erected in 1923 and originally read "HOLLYWOODLAND." Its purpose was to advertise the name of a new segregated, whites-only housing development in the hills above the Hollywood district of Los Angeles

wikipedia lists a source for this and the source does mention segregated housing.

time to tear down this clear symbol of racism?
