Hey, at least he capitalizes White.
Interesting back story on the jive scene. Both actors are high school friends and they basically improvised the entire scene. So did Barbara Billingsley!

Thank God “Airplane” was made back in the 80’s. It could never be made today.
Hey, at least he capitalizes White.
I don't capitalize either "white" or "black" unless it's at the start of a sentence. Because I believe we're all more than just our skin color.
As it should be.
Maybe this kid should see the movie Watermelon Man (1970), directed by Melvin Van Peebles and starring Godfrey Cambridge. It's about black people making fun of white people directed by and starring black people. It's just what he wants, right?

Hopefully this will make people watch the movie that have never seen it before.
The author is an ignoramus. That kind of humor was aimed at racism to mock it and make it unacceptable. And it worked!
Racism was nearly dead ... and then the woketard dummies like this guy elected a structural Marxist to the presidency for no sound reason. Just a feel-good virtue signal. And the Marxist proceeded to set the nation on fire.
Person of Color.Person of Color.Person of Color.Person of Color.Person of Color.
This entire racist rant is just filled with Person of Color.
AKA Colored People.
That’s right. Colored People.
Racists might think Colored People is racist, yet People of Color isn’t?
Racism - like liberalism - is a mental disorder.
I think you are on-point of the root of all this. In itself, the self-expectation of being perfect, is depressing and impossible.
Cancel Me?
I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
Dang! They were making fun of Joe Biden back then! Who knew?!?
A favorite.
Hopefully it then turns into a full blown sh tlib circular firing squad.
...and their cancer on this country is removed once and for all.
“ The jokes involving People of Color are usually based around that person’s color, whereas”
So all the jokes about Kareem Abdul not playing defense and walking etc are about color?
Patently false nonsense.
NAACP needs to change its name to NAAPOC.
I look forward to her reviews of “Darktown Strutters” “Blackula” and “Boss Ni***r” I have a feeling she will not appreciated the humor.
Just an example of the problem described by Jerry Seinfeld. No one can make jokes anymore. He said that his show probably couldn’t be made today.
Example: The episode where a college reporter thinks that Jerry and George are gay. Both vociferously deny it, commenting, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
That is what made All In The Family a universal hit! They jibed every person...from every direction!
Too many people only remember Archie’s racism, but dang the rest of the cast had their own issues that created stories...his feminist neighbor who just kowtowed her husband, Meathead the constant antagonist (like your reference), George Jefferson before he left for his own series, etc...
No race, sexual orientation, or political bend was left spared!
As are Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, all of the Congressional Black Caucus, the “civil rights movement”, Black Lives Matter, academia and nearly all establishment media.
I’m not trying to pigeon-hole these people (as they do nearly everyone they attack).
It simply seems self-evident to me that if you frame every issue and argument in racial terms, you are, by definition, a racist.
