Top 10 Racist Movies Of All Time
Listverse ^ | November 11, 2013 | Michael Van Dusen

9 The Passion Of The Christ 2004

Public perception of this movie wasn’t helped by Mel Gibson’s overt anti-Semitism, but The Passion of the Christ clearly depicts the Jewish people as the cause of Jesus Christ’s death, an unfortunate misconception that has resulted in an unknown (but certainly extremely high) number of Jewish deaths over the years.

Amos and Andy/Three Stooges...it’s all just good clean fun...when America was still America and before democrats decided to pit the races against each other for political gain.

The closing scene is a bit campy.

Ah yes, “let them lose their souls”.

But that probably came straight from the book. There was quite a bit of racist stuff in the book that never made it to the screen.

And one of them was screened in the White House and praised explicitly for its racist message by Democrat president Woodrow Wilson. Democrats were and always will be the Party of Race Hatred.

Imitation of Life is often called a racist movie. The original one with Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers starred in it .

Don’t forget it was part of Jesus’ plan to be executed. This was the temporal mechanics, apparently necessary, for the forgiveness of sins and the descent of the holy spirit upon humanity in Pentecost.

Who the players were is irrelevant, but to “blame” anyone for help in implementing God’s plan seems counterproductive. You either think Pentecost was a good thing or not, yes?

If you have to harp on who was involved, to deny Jewish involvement is absurd. If the FBI builds a false case against Trump and the DOJ prosecutes it, is it only the DOJ’s “fault” if Trump is convicted? I don’t think so.

Nevertheless, I personally never held it against the Jews nor Romans because it was God’s plan.

I respectfully disagree. Blazing Saddles was only racist if you have thin skin. That movie made fun of everyone. People - adults and kid - who can laugh at themselves do this amongst friends all the time. Too many snowflakes are looking for a reason to be offended. Usually attention whores.

Most comedians will not do shows at colleges anymore because of this.

PS - anyone that doesn't laugh at the campfire needs to lighten up. Life is too short and hard enough. There is a time and place for everything, but farts are always funny!
