Watching “Roots” for 9 hours should add the charge of “torture” to the arrest warrant.

Just another anti-racist Democrat psycho.

#24. Does anyone remember the line in the movie “Hamburger: The Movie” about Kunta Kinte said by a former football player turned actor portraying a hamburger joint manager talking to black cops about some problems he was having with people in his store?

One of the funniest lines and scenes in movie history. About 30 years ago. He looked like the actor John Astin/Austen in “Beverly Hills Cop”.

It was the binge-watching of its time. It was all we had.

I watched a movie last night where two black men robbed a store and killed a woman. They said, “Hey, this is America. We’re black and we take what we want.”

Forcing someone to watch Doctor Zhivago would be worse.

“Forcing someone to watch Doctor Zhivago would be worse.”

Without a break (or five) would be cruel and unusual. It’s 3+ hours, but it manages to seem like even more. Ugh.

Now I’m going to shift to an over-the-top cruel and unusual punishment: Being forced to watch Doctor Zhivago and Gone With The Wind, back to back. That would break me! Break me, I tell you!

I don’t how to post a picture, but he should be sentenced to watch that classic of cinematography Birth of a Nation 1916 over and over again. It’s about how the KKK saved the south from Reconstruction and black rule.

That should break just about anybody. In terms of pacing, Doctor Zhivago makes Gone With The Wind look like John Wick, even though Gone With The Wind is actually longer.
