Jason Bailey @jasondashbailey.com · 24d The funny thing about "anti-woke" dipshits using BLAZING SADDLES as their north star is that part of the reason Brooks hired Pryor for the writer's room was to keep them from going too far with the race jokes. Essentially, Mel Brooks used a sensitivity reader. www.flavorwire.com/437137/revis...

Those same dipshits use "Blazing Saddles" as an example of "making race jokes," always failing to note that the film is a fucking takedown of racism.
I agree with the take that you actually couldn't make Blazing Saddles today because it has too many jokes about how racist white people are.
Had some right wing family recently try to the pull the whole “this film couldn’t be made today because of woke”, and my retort was “you know the point of the movie is that racists are stupid, right?” “it pOkEs FuN aT EveRyONe!”
