The actual black people in this movie...

These people are just sickening. I had no idea that there were actual blacks in this movie. How do you hold you head up after you've participated in this trash? How do you go on and someday have grandchildren, then have to look them in the face, knowing that you were a part of something so shameful and disgraceful to your own race of people? What kind of a man would do that? They're not even men; they're just a bunch of ignorant savages, not fit to walk the earth with real men. If I could get anywhere near one of those sorry, good for nothing, sapsuckers. I would put on some cowboy boots and raise my foot up as high as I possibly could and stomp every callus, corn and bunion off of their crusty ass feet until fire comes out.

You probably would not have been a slave either. Hahaha... Listen to that old Eddie Murphy bit, then reply.

If you think this is bad. Have you seen "Goodbye Uncle Tom (1971)"?

How do you hold you head up after you've participated in rioting, looting, and murder of your own people at a rate not seen outside of a declared international war zone?

I wouldn't know since I've never participated in the degradation nor any other destructive act against my own race of people or any race of people, for that matter. Maybe you should ask your mama; I'm pretty sure she's slept with enough of them.

It was a film not real life!

I wonder if someday they'll be saying similar things about the white people playing stooges to black people in all the TV commercials you see now.

If I was just hanging out on the front porch steps in 1915 with a bottle of malt liquor in a paper sack, and some casting guy offered me five bucks and a free lunch to be an extra in that movie, I'd jump at the opportunity.
