Whoopi Goldberg is defending Blazing Saddles from criticism that it’s a racist movie.

The backlash over the film was brought to the “Hot Topics” table following Mindy Kaling saying that The Office couldn’t be made today because the characters are too “inappropriate.”

I'm quite surprised that Whoopi is defending this. I figured she'd jump on the bandwagon.

Thank goodness she was not in it.

The trouble is, the ignorant bass turds occupying this country these days have no sense of humor. They don’t want to laugh. All they want to do is stare at and poke a cellphone all day like it’s a big bullfrog.

You mean that thing Mongo rides was not her

Stopped clock thing. The movie is clearly ANTI-racist.

Jews have to stick up for each other.

FYI: Yes I know Miss Goldberg changed her name, it was a joke.

She was a mule pulling a wagon and running around in circles

The fact that “Blazing Saddles” has not been cancelled convinces me its producer, Mel Brooks, must have been/still is a major financial contributor to the Democrat party.

What you talking about? Whoopi was in Blazing Saddles, she was knocked out with one punch by Mongo.

Well, it does characterize a slick black outwhitting all the stupid white folk. I’d say it is a push on racism. My 2c worth.

It’s anti-Irish!........................

But even more importantly it was hilarious, entertaining, and not "preachy" in any way.

She was in the chuckwagon scene.................

I made a point of getting the dvd for this a decade ago because I figured it would eventually be banned or heavily edited. Probably the funniest movie of all time.

“I’m quite surprised that Whoopi is defending this. I figured she’d jump on the bandwagon.”

She is supposedly a comedian and she knows Blazing Saddles is funny. So perhaps there is an inner struggle between her comedy side and her political side and maybe the comedy side won in this case. Dunno. It is hard to figure out liberals.

She had her white boyfriend show up in public in blackface.
