The easiest thing in the world, is to look at old movies and TV shows, and point out things which would not be permitted today.

If she’s going to say that this director somehow was bigoted, what does that make her, since she willingly participated in these allegedly objectionable movies???

I do that when I watch an old movie. Then I think about how simple and pleasant life was then because every word and action wasn’t a landmine. I grew up in the south around whites and blacks, girls and gays. Everyone was happier and mixed freely, without worrying about the inadvertent “offense” that would end a career or get you kicked out of school.

Blazing Saddles would make their heads explode today. It would cause Civil War II.

I toss on Blazing Saddles about once a year just to remind myself of this.

Like “historical smoking” warnings for the ad for “Chappaquiddick”.
