Turned it off 10 minutes in. Too offensive.


Too many N words and even the F word. The homophobic one.

And I'm neither black nor gay,so I'm not being biased or too sensitive.



If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

Your loss, snowflake.

It’s considered a classic and a masterpiece of comedy that ridicules racism. It doesn’t embrace it. Untwist your panties.

Usually these kinds of posts are just somebody pretending to be offended, as a joke. The sad thing about this one is that this clown actually seems to be serious. Then there's the pompous thing about being on his ignore list. I hope I'm on his ignore list--it would be a matter of pride.

I think you are overreacting to these words.

The movie is in large part a satire of the very things you are complaining about. They are put in there to make people aware.

If you have seen All in the Family, Archie Bunker is a caricature of the typical middle aged white guy who had a lot of wrong headed ideas. Archie wasn't an evil person, but someone not to be emulate.
