>They don’t want to laugh
Secular moralism has replaced religion
Since listening to music by Bach and Beethoven, swimming, watching movies about sharks and being named Mike are now racist, why wouldn’t Blazing Saddles be?
Even a stopped clock…
Aye!
I plan to move to Europe, only listen to Mozart and Beethoven, and swim in frigid lakes in the Alps.
I will also change my name to Mike.
Whitest plan ever…
I don’t see why!?? I mean it has all the fixins women love today!! A loud mouth obnoxious blond who gets blacked at the end!! Remember well the laughter and giddyness of the crowd in the theater... “It’s True!! It’s True!!...”.
Shortly there after that was the trend in 95% of advertising...
Add an e...
To this day it is absolutely one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
LOL - that movie never gets old.
I have the DVD in case the wokies try to ban it. Plus, even when it’s shown on TV, they cut out the campfire scene. That scene makes me weak with laughter.
Whoopi IS a racist -
and anti-Methodist!
My tagline....
Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies ever.
Whoopie? Funny? Not so much.
Such a timeless scene. I love Slim Pickens.
Do they know that one of the cowriters of the script was Richard Pryor?
Richard Pryor was one of the writers.
“Blazing Saddles is a 1974 American satirical western black comedy film directed by Mel Brooks, who also wrote the screenplay with Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Alan Uger.”

Anyone that thinks that is absurd.
The movie was making fun of racism. Geesh if you can’t even do that - what else is there?
You listed rape twice
I like it.
There is no chance they could make five minutes of Blazing Saddles.
