Hollywood Can't Get It Through Its Head That Racism Doesn't Sell
PJ Media ^ | 19 Mar 2024 | Brandon Morse

If you didn’t hear about a movie being released called “The American Society of Magical Negroes” then you couldn’t be blamed. It’s not a movie that was given a ton of attention…or at least positive attention.

The movie is probably one of the most racist things that has ever been put to a silver screen. The summary is that the protagonist is a young black man who is welcomed into a secret society of magical black people whose entire existence is to make white people feel safe and cared about. Throughout the movie, the protagonist struggles with his new role and eventually falls in love with a girl. However, when the white person he’s charged with looking after also falls in love with the girl, he’s told he can no longer pursue her.

...

If you’re really going to make a movie that condemns racism and highlights the absurdity of it, then I’ll refer you to probably the best condemnation of racism Hollywood ever produced; “Blazing Saddles.”

“Blazing Saddles” was a hysterical movie with a great message behind it, delivered in such a way that left everyone laughing. More importantly, it left everyone laughing at racism.

Well, based on commercials you'd swear the majority of marriages/relationships in this country are mixed ethnicity with a smart black woman and a dumb white guy.

OR, if the couple is white, the woman is smart and the dude and idiot.

Just imagine how many people would be out of work if it wasn’t for making crappy movies. All that movie funding also takes money away from donations to dems.

It’s an old concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro

They don’t care. They’re not doing it to make money. They’re doing it to support a narrative.

Bears repeating.

I believe the star of the movie and the director/writer both have a white parent are considered high yellows by their black brethren. You can’t make this stuff up.

Hollywood is full of the biggest racists, sexists, pedos, liars on the planet.

They only decry stuff when they are caught.

Hollywood is now a paid CCP propaganda operation. They don’t need to make money anymore. They do what their CCP masters tell them to do- promote division, racism, perversion, etc.

Blazing Saddles is a fifty year old film made in a country that no longer exists.

Then I guess “To Kill a Mockingbird” was a flop.

As was “Glory.”

And “West Side Story.”

And “Do the Right Thing.”

And “American History X.”

And “A Raisin in the Sun.”

And “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”

And “In the Heat of the Night.”

And “Cotton Comes to Harlem.”

And “Sounder.”

And “Malcolm X.”

And “Green Book.”

And “A Bronx Tale.”

And “The Color Purple.”

And “Monster’s Ball.”

And “12 Angry Men.”

And “Sergeant Rutledge.”

And “A Raisin in the Sun.”

And “Paris Blues.”

And “Mississippi Burning.”

And “Buck and the Preacher.”

And “Blazing Saddles.”

And “Cotton Club.”

And “A Soldier’s Story.”

And “School Daze.”

And “Amistad.”

And “Driving Miss Daisy.”

And “The Green Mile.”

And “Finding Forrester.”

And “Men of Honor.”

Nope, never in the history of Hollyweird has even a single movie about racism so much as broken even.

There is such a thing as subtlety versus beating viewers over the head. You list many great flicks... but maybe the horse has been beaten to death.

High yellows, should they exhibit decorum and some common sense, can aspire to work in the Big House. Just like Democrats in Congress.

Seriously though, I peruse a web site called Pirate Bay to see what movies I could download if I wanted to see them without giving money to Hollywood (and we wouldn't want that). One movie high on their download list is:

"Gayniggers from Outer Space"
1992.REMASTERED.DVDRip.300MB.h264.MP4-Zoetrope

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518

Genre: Comedy, Science Fiction Director: Morten Lindberg
Stars: Gbatokai Dakinah, Sammy Salomon, Coco C.P. Dalbert, Konrad Fields, Bob Rockwell

Plot: Extraterrestrial beings travel the galaxy to free men "oppressed" by females to make way for an entirely-homosexual society.

-------------------------------------------------------

And I wonder who is downloading that so much to keep that high on the list. White racists? Gay black guys? Is it really that funny or like an MST thing?? The older I get the more mystified and befuddled I become.
