There is a scene in that movie Blazing Saddles that is an object lesson.

All the black guys working on the railroad break out in song and dance, and done quite well, singing in great harmony, the moves with the music...



Come on, boys! The way you're lollygagging around here with them picks and them shovels...you'd think it was 120...It cant' be more than 114. Dock that Chink a day's pay for napping on the job. Now, come on, boys, where's your spirit? I don't hear no singing. When you were slaves, you sang like birds. Go on. How about a good old n*gger work song?

"I get no kick from champagne.

"Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.

"So tell me why should it be true...

"... that I get a belt out of you?

"Some get a kick from cocaine. "

What the hell is that shit? I meant a song. A real song. Something like..."Swing low, sweet chariot... "

Swing low? Sweet chariot?

Don't know that one, huh? How about "De Camp Town Ladies"?

"De Camp Town Ladies"?

Ah, you know. "De Camp Town Ladies sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah. "De Camp Town race track five miles long, all the doo-dah day!

"Gonna run all night, gonna run all day.

"Bet my money on the bobtailed nag, somebody bet on the bay!"

What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here? I hired you people to try to get a little track laid...not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!

Now, they made the white guys look pretty stupid and foolish and racist in that scene, which made it even funnier!

Great post. Now you are encouraging all of us to watch that movie and the other comedy greats again.

Hint: buy dvds before the streaming and subscription content services later end up with 100% Muslim Sharia Law approved “women wearing modest clothing” and others with Marxist approved “showing worker collectives in favorable light”.
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry will come onscreen in videos with burkas, singing about Mecca.
Like the WKRP in Cincinnati episode where the religious leader wanted no more “man centered” content in songs on the station.
