Watching one of the most Racist movies of recent decades on Cinemax RIGHT NOW - GoFuckYourself.com

Pleasurepays · 01-03-2010, 03:38 PM

i'm 39 yrs old. i've had this movie on DVD for forever... i love David Allen Greer as well... i've seen this movie 100's of times probably and i'm not sure it ever occurred to me that there are no white, chinese, mexican etc in the movie. Only black people.

Everyone in their office building is black. receptionists, extras, board members etc etc etc. only black people at events and meetings. every executive is black. even the extras on the street.

funny.

kinda wrong in a backwards kinda way

Sly · 01-03-2010, 03:39 PM

So what you're telling us is that you are ashamed to be black.

fatfoo · 01-03-2010, 03:40 PM

If there are only black people in the movie then it would mean that there are only black people in the movie.

Pleasurepays · 01-03-2010, 03:41 PM

i'm surprised a white person doesn't get killed in the first 30 minutes of the movie

MrBottomTooth · 01-03-2010, 03:43 PM

I got the same vibe from that crappy movie Beyonce was in last year. "Obsessed". Anyone that has seen it will know what I am talking about. Every white person is a moron / has no morals, or is a crazy stalker.

Works the other way too I know, but I just thought it was funny watching this turd of a movie.

Pleasurepays · 01-03-2010, 03:45 PM

takes courage to admit you watch Beyonce movies.

Bravo to you sir!

To be honest, I pirated it off of thepiratebay.

Pleasurepays · 01-03-2010, 03:46 PM

they're working out in the gym on Boomerang... every single person in the gym is black.

LOL, never thought of it that way. Now I have a clear conscience. I seen a few minutes of it about 6 months later on my satellite, so I guess I just time-shifted 6 months in advance.

We aren't talking about good movies in this thread.

Pleasurepays · 01-03-2010, 03:55 PM

haha... the only white people in Boomerang... in the expensive mens suits store - where the manager acts stupid and like he's going to get robbed - just because they are in the store and are black and he's assuming no one can pay for anything or has enough money (in spite of them all be super well groomed and well dressed anyway).

thats a tricky movie to watch in a theater in your neck of the woods... depending on which neighborhood your in. ranier valley, south center, sea tac etc... you best just pretend you don't find any of his remarks humorous at all. issaquah, redmond, bellevue etc - totally fine. basically you're safe to appreciate it on the east side or at home

Darkland · 01-03-2010, 05:27 PM

I have commented on this time and time again. When blacks make a blatant all black movie they are doing it for their people. When a white man makes a blatant all white movie it is racist.

Riddle me this... Black actors have taken some of the greatest sitcoms or movies in American history and changed all the characters black. Two movies right off hand are, The Honeymooners and Guess Who.

Me personally, I didn't find anything offensive about that, I found Guess Who pretty funny. BUT... What I DO find offensive is this: what do you think would happen if a bunch of white actors got together and decided to make all white versions of say Good Times, Sanford and Son, or The Jeffersons?

I think we all know.

Funniest thing. I watched it here at home. I never wanted to watch it in theater or nothing as I didnt think it was going to be the movie that it was.

Then Clint starts throwing around zipper head and every name in the book like nothing else and im like WTF!!! Im not racist but I love a good altercation over anything. from afar of course so what a perfect movie.

My best friend is black so he decided to come over half way through and i rewound it just to the "spooks" part where hes telling those black dudes off, saving the girl.

Thats just how I roll...

Err! they did, or at least with Sanford and Son (i've never heard of the other two), its a remake of one of the best British sitcoms ever made, Steptoe and Son. So really your American version is a black remake of a white British original

OMFG, is this history right here in the making? Darkland's intellectual buffness stuffed?

Stay tuned!

ShellyCrash · 01-03-2010, 06:34 PM

Coming to America is the same way, with the exception of Louie Anderson even the white people are played by black people.

Eddie Murphy has a huge chip on his shoulder about someone else getting credit for having the first blockbuster w/ an all black starring cast. I can't remember who it was he was hating on, I want to say Tyler Perry but I think the interview was from the 90's. Anyway, he was fucking pissed and rightly so. Coming to America is the shit.

dav3 · 01-03-2010, 06:43 PM

lol Coming to America was awesome!

I may not have known there was an earlier British sitcom that Sanford and Son was based on but it does further validate the point that I was making.

yeah, it was a bit uncomfortable for me to watch it in the theater. you could see everyone casually glancing around to see who's snickering or not.

It's not racially unfair when blacks do it, don't worry.

bringer · 01-03-2010, 08:56 PM

racist

not racist

just like the word nigga... race determines context. wait... isnt that in itself racist? i guess double standards are ok if your black.

beemk · 01-03-2010, 09:03 PM

they must have shot the movie in detroit!

That's usually how it's done...not complete absence of white people, but the white people that are in it are lame idiots, bad guys, etc.

FWIW people probably don't see the latter as racist because it was also 2 guys dressed up as 2 women, so a somewhat ridiculous silly premise/movie. There's probably better examples out there of the double-standard than this one.

AngelBasement$ · 01-04-2010, 04:00 AM

I think the black and white picture was way back in the 60's.....watched Tropic Thunder....Robert Downey Jr is seen playing a black man.....no one made a big deal out of it and it was a good laugh...
