@@tanjiroukamado7452 right on. Stay strong. Women respect an outspoken man and when you get older you’ll find all your friends are as conservative or Moreso than you are. Being leftist is a phase. Most people grow out of it at some point. For most people it’s when they get confident in themselves and stop caring what other people think of them. When I was younger I would hide my beliefs but I’m past that now. The best and most loyal friends I’ve ever had were always outspokenly right leaning/right wing, regardless of their race or religion. In-group loyalty is a right wing value.

Mel Brooks is hilarious and makes fun of the white characters while showing the black characters abilities to overcome, survive and even make fools of the racist white people of Redrock.

I saw this film when it premiered in a New Jersey theater. The audience had a ratio of 60/40 in favor of blacks. The laughter throughout the movie was non-stop and LOUD. By far the hardest I've ever seen an audience laugh. After the movie people were still laughing hysterically. No brawls, no shootings, no threats, no demonstrations and not a single police vehicle. The 1970s were a different time when people were less uptight about race. Leave it to the neo-Liberals of the 21st century that couldn't leave well enough alone and had to reignite racism.

Hello, fellow Missourian!

St.Louis here

[@Lazareth8008s]

Timeless spoof movie. I want to live in world where everyone finds this hilarious

[@kevincaldwell4707]

This is the greatest movie of the 1970’s

[@AdvKayaker]

Of the 70s? Greatest of all time. lol

[@jackmitchelles2646]

Try BEST......FILM........EVER

[@Anthony-zt1zs]

@@AdvKayaker And, it's also the best for so many sociological reasons that many don't even consider. It will age extremely well. Never seen a film push the envelope with so much offensive content, and yet offended so few. It's brilliant

[@wavethewolf8576]

This is the racist movie of all time but we love it.

[@OnePieceTractor]

I absolutely love this picture

[@HH-pk2wh]

Classic. So many great actors and performers

[@drsevrin100]

Funniest line in the whole movie.

[@thebee3909]

This movie is a classic. One of my favorite movies of all time. Today’s society can’t handle movies like this because they have no sense of humor. It must be a miserable existence looking for things that offend you.

[@rsinclair689]

Man, no clue how this movie got made but damn sure happy it did!

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

It was almost not released!

[@johnleeson6946]

Because in 1974, people weren't pussy-ass snowflakes that got offended by the littlest thing! I hold the door open for a Karen these days and she/it says, "I can open my own door!" "Fuck you, Bitch!"

[@frankgrimesification]

It got released because it was a different era when films like this could be released and television shows like All in the Family could be made.

[@EasyEddieNo5590]

Who’s here from Thom Brennaman? Lmao

[@feedthesnake3394]

proof mel brooks was doing dave chappelle 25 years before dave chapelle.

[@gerrycross7460]

This movie was groundbreaking and buried racism for good..the film showed how absurd the whole concept was..until 2006 when the monster was brought back to life...

[@stephenthomason5983]

Ahhh... comedy, those were the days!! 😄

[@King_Jimbo]

We desperately need movies and scriptwriting like this back in Hollywood. Mel flipped racism right on its side and properly skewered it instead of being afraid of it like so many are today.

[@koryguns]

When Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor work together, you get excellence.

[@drainspout]

I have thick skin. Therefore, I can watch and enjoy this movie.

[@miltonkeynes3090]

You don't need a thick skin. You just need a little bit of smarts and not have a plug up your ass.

[@thebudgetgamer]

I don't think you do

[@jimratliff2753]

Now that is flat out hilarious sheitt right there. They must have made 1,000 takes of that!

[@davidgerald133]

I come watch this clip whenever my team loses to the Chiefs

[@NTHSunflower]

Blazing Saddles isn't just a romantic comedy, but also an artistically significant piece, heralding a revolution in the comedy genre.
