Not racist. It addresses and mocks racism by using the language of racism. Having said that, there are many who would not be able to see the distinction. This. It tends to go over the head of the very people it is really mocking. |

Nope. Always ranked as my #1 comedy. We were trying to figure out at work if it was considered racist. I couldn't see how, but I'm not Irish. Quote HistoryQuoted:

AIUI, Mel Brooks wrote the lines for Cleavon Little. Richard Pryor wrote the lines for many of the white characters.

1. It's a comedy. Comedians always get a pass on that stuff.
2. There were black actors making fun of black people - and white people. Which time was racist, when the black actors made fun of blacks, or when they made fun of whites? 3. People need to get over that shit and do the best they can, be proud of themselves and what they accomplish and if they want more, work harder instead of looking for someone else to blame it on. Too much blame these days, not enough of taking responsibility for yourself and your family. |

It was the opposite of racism, it was humor that acknowledged the existence of racism but chose to mock and ridicule it rather than wallow in miserable experience possible because of it.

Not it's not at all. The exact opposite. The racists are portrayed as fools and corrupt and criminals ,the black characters are smart and hard working and don't want to rape or murder or rob anyone not even knock out game but the white characters do.
Actually thinking about it, yes it is but not against the race you are thinking. |

Not racist, its a parody film of blaxploitation, same as I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. another movie all serious movie watchers should see. the part where he fake leg comes off gets me every time. supposedly that movie was filmed using 3-4 credit cards and all of the actors donated their time. I don't know how much of that is true or not. |

It isn't about other arfcommers 'feelings' and I am not trying to hurt anybody's 'feelings'. I ain't got time fo dat. I just don't care and watch the movie for what it is... ...a funny Mel Brooks movie.... |

The most racist parts are said by the sheriff but he's black so it can't be racist! Like blacks referring to each other as "Hey Ni&&er!" Haven't you learned by now that blacks CAN'T be racist! And that racism only applies to whites! Just ask Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, or FBHO! |
