Sounds like a movie to get back out into the theaters en masse and encourage them to go. :-)
I think Blazing Saddles mocks white people more than anything.

Mel Brooks, one of Hollywood's funniest film-makers, has told the BBC political correctness is "the death of comedy".
He said Blazing Saddles, his Western spoof about a black sheriff in a racist town, could "never" be made today.
"It's OK not to hurt the feelings of various tribes and groups," he said. "However it's not good for comedy.
"Comedy has to walk a thin line, take risks. It's the lecherous little elf whispering in the king's ear, telling the truth about human behaviour."
Brooks made his name with a series of successful film comedies, including Blazing Saddles, The Producers and Young Frankenstein.
Among the subjects he has satirised are racism, religion and feminism - and he describes himself as "the king of vulgarity".
But there is one subject he insists he would not parody.
Referring to World War Two, he said: "I personally would never touch gas chambers or the death of children or Jews at the hands of the Nazis. However, he says that is the "only thing" he would avoid. "Everything else is OK."

I was just saying this to my sister the other day.
My favorite scene is when the the town’s “scout” up on the roof alerts the “Sheriff is... LOUD BELL SOUND... “
The folks on the ground ask what did he say?
He said the Sheriff is NEAR.
LOL!!!!
