Richard Pryor was Eddie Murphys idol/mentor so yeah I agree.
exactly...people like chris rock and eddie murphey are very funny, but they were inspired by richard pryor...who as chris rock calls, is "the best comedian ever"
Agreed, Richard Pryor was hillarious.

Can you imagine that in today's overly PC world if this skit had aired on SNL. FCC would have been handing out fines to everyone. Somehow Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would get involved. Geraldo would probably do an overnight vigil for the "victims." It would be the subject on "the View" for the next week.

This was when TV was good. Too many damn overly sensitive pus sies to get offended too easily these days.

the sad thing is, is that it's only racist if white people say it...al sharpton (being the racist mofo he is) or jesse jackson never got themselves involved when chris rock called oprah a slave girl, when he saw a childhood picture of her...oprah laughed, the audience laughed EVERYONE found it funny.

point is..if a white person saw oprah's child hood picture, and said "you look like a slave!" there would be a huge uproar in the media, and an apology would have to be made

yes its offensive, do I care... no. I see the funny side of it.
 
Who cares??

People need to learn to not be so high strung.

This is the same reason we will never get original unedited oscar winning Tom & Jerry cartoon shorts on dvd today.

I can't be offended by the truth :huh
 
hey i don't think it's right. but it's not my country to worry about..australia see's the crap that goes on over here on a daliy basis..so they can choose to do whatever they like. actually if i could move there i would go in a heart beat since usa is going to hell really fast..but then again if black kids wanted to make fun of any other race then that would hillarious not really though to me though . But there's a double standard in the united states.

The old stuff doesn't cease to exist because social mores have changed. The Popeye cartoons that were released recently contained the original, sometimes offensive uncensored cartoons, and I think that is a good thing. These cartoons are important historically for their influence on cartoons and entertainment, as well as for their reflection of the times, and should be made available, IMO.

Same goes for "Song of the South." Just because this stuff should not be created in the modern world doesn't mean that we should blind ourselves to the past.
 
It's easier to pretend it didn't happen so as not to offend anyone. Same way with anything controversial and/or tragic. Pretend it didn't happen. Insert fingers in ears, put on blinders, and mouth "La La La La La La La La........."
 
As much as I think this stuff should be available, people who are uneducated about these things would probably be shocked and pissed off if they bought the old cartoons for their kids and ran across some of this stuff. I'm sure that's what Time Warner and Disney are afraid of. I think it demonstrates that these companies hold a very low opinion of their overall audience, but this is probably the correct opinion to hold.

Companies usually don't go broke under-estimating their customers.
 
That's a good point from a valid legal perspective.

Maybe we should burn any offensive books, movies, and cartoons. :rolleyes:
 
I think the old Tom and Jerry cartoons and Song of the South should be made available. Hiding them doesn't help anything. You can't learn from ignoring something.
 
lenny bruce was the foundation. he went thru the crap so richard pryor could be what he was.

either way we live in a politcal correct society in the usa..
still this country is becoming a joke when you have a president that apologizes for everything. obama is the second coming of jimmy carter.. we all know how that turned out. high in flation and a goof who could not negotiate with terrorist.
 
i'm not sure there needs to be the extreme reactions from people with the hyperbole of comparing people criticizing this to Nazi book burnings or something. Nor is this the worst thing to ever occur on television.

From a personal level, I just don't see how defending these goofballs makes any sense considering the only purpose to do the black face was to take their crappy yet bland performance into a crappy yet controversial performance. Do they have a right to be racist fools? Sure. Do people have a right to call them racist fools? Absolutely. Basically they bated for the reaction and now these people that are overly concerned about political correctness is getting mad that people have that reaction.
