Not a single example of a racist joke. The jive bit was as much making fun of white people for being clueless as it lampooned jive.
One of the pilots was played by Kareem. There were no jokes about his blackness...only that he was really a basketball player, not a pilot. He got sick from the fish just like everyone else.
These SJWs like to throw allegations based on their feelings, with no proof whatsoever.
First they came for Barbara Billingsley.
The dummy can’t see that the hapless whites are the butt of the joke in the jive scenes.
Watched over a dozen you tube segment of people watching Airplane for the first time, over half of them of color. They were howling during the whole thing especially when Barbara Billingly talked jive to the black guys.
Further proof (as if needed) that these folks are clearly not gifted in the brain’s “department of intellect”. Keep this person away from tools more complex than a screwdriver and hope to high heaven that they never come close to something that actually requires a human level intelligence.
I remember Mr’s Cleaver saying “I speak Jive”. Of course, that’s dated. Now she would say “ebonics”. But that’s not as funny. :D
Jackass has no idea what he’s talking about.
The joke was that Mrs Cleaver spoke jive.
Nobody was laughing at the poor guy sick from fish.
Does this @$$ muncher know who Mrs Cleaver is?
No, no he does not.
“When a joke goes after someone’s personal identity — their race, their gender, their sexual orientation, their physical attributes — they themselves become the joke.”
My BIL is from Poland. He’s collected Polish jokes for 40 years. And he LOVES to tell them!
I’m Baptist. I don’t know a ton of Baptist jokes, but I love to tell the ones I know. Some of which are a little painful because, like a lot of stereotypes, there is an element of truth - sometimes a LOT of truth - in the jokes about Baptists.
Someone please tell this individual to F::K O::!
I guess the movie “White Girls” gets a pass.
Then came Obama and with his and his party's sponsorship racism returned, this time against that same majority community. A hundred and sixty years after starting the last civil war Democrats are eagerly fomenting another.
Well, in that case, he'd better not watch anything by Don Rickles (RIP).
The jokes involving People of Color are usually based around that person’s color, whereas none of the jokes involving White characters specifically involve them being White.
Fine. Go watch The Jeffersons.
One of the funniest films ever made, and these dipsticks are going to get it banned.
For the purpose of dishing out more SJW claptrap.
“and if we don’t understand why they are problematic, then we can’t take the necessary steps to evolve as a culture.”
In other words, we can strip all humor and fun from the lives of Americans to prepare them for life as Chinese slaves.
Thank God “Airplane” was made back in the 80’s. It could never be made today.
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.
