Is #BlazingSaddles racist? Not at all – it shines a torch on a nation undergoing a serious identity crisis | #Film | The Guardian

One of my favourite films. When you realize that all the racist jokes about black people were written by the great #RichardPryor, you get a better idea of the context. #MelBrooks was courageous to make this film.

The Guardian · Is Blazing Saddles racist? Not at all – it shines a torch on a nation undergoing a serious identity crisisBy Stephen K Amos

Okay, folks, this one is important. We all have to work together to pull this off.

My wife and I just watched a thing about Dick Van Dyke’s 99th birthday. Remember a couple of years ago when we as a society vowed to ensure that Betty White would reach her 100th birthday and then we failed with just a few days to go?

Now we have to make sure that Dick Van Dyke makes it. We have to pull out all the stops. We have to cure every disease and ensure he is safe from all potential accidents. We MUST make sure that he reaches his 100th birthday. It is a moral imperative. It is A MUST.

Then once we successfully get him into the triple digits we will have to turn our attention to Mel Brooks who will turn 99 next summer.

You all heard me. Now get out there and get to work!
