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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies ever.

Whoopie? Funny? Not so much.

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?
