Really? /s

Mel Brooks would be financially and socially destroyed for making Blazing Saddles today. The movie would not see the light of day, and you’d never hear from Mel Brooks again.

Blazing Saddles was a recruitment film for Nazis.

Blazing Saddles is interesting in that it depicts the white guys as stupid rednecks and bumbling fools and the black guys as smart and sophisticated.

Liberals are destroying everything they touch, including comedy. The politically correct utopia is filled with miserable, vindictive, depressed people all trying to toe the ever-moving line. I miss the good ol’ USA.

Blazing Saddles was one of my favorite movies growing up. Some classic lines.

"Scuse me while I whip this out"

"Mongo only pawn in game of life"

"How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart? "
"I'd say you've had enough "

Here’s another reason Blazing Saddles wouldn’t be made today:

The black guy and the white guy get along just fine the entire movie.

“Blazing Saddles” had a lot of black actors in it, and no one twisted their nuts to say the lines and act accordingly.
