I saw the trailer the other day.
If the world wasn’t so pathetically woke, this might be a funny piece about race relations...and if taken in a humorous light, it can help people laugh at themselves.
The problem with folks these days is that they are so wound up with animosity, it’ll be used by some blacks (maybe even the makers of the movie) as an anti-white diatribe and by some whites as a “you hate us!” screed.
I remember when men of all colors could sit around a table and laugh at themselves and each other and get along. May we be able to do that again soon.

Blazing Saddles was a funny piece about race relations. Try making a remake of THAT ONE today.

FWIW, David Alan Grier was in a movie years ago called “Amazon Women on the Moon”, it was kind of a “Kentucky Fried Movie” re-hash. Imagine sitting at home and flipping through your cable channels.
Grier was in a featurette that was one of those “K-Tel Greatest Hits Album” for a fictional singer called “Don ‘No Soul’ Simmons”, a black guy who sang gentle, purebread white music. Very funny stuff.
Anyway, the skit was making fun of “black people” who had no “soul”. This was in the late 1980s.
“Undercover Brother” is a good movie that does just that... Very funny movie.
