Classic films from the past that are actually super racist

Trading Places

Steve Martin was wilding in The Jerk

go to the 2:00 mark, “I was born a poor black child in Mississippi”


Cant blame everything on the cocaine and the 70s.

I just wanna know why they had Robert Downey, Jr. playing a Blackman in "Tropic Thunder"....and a CARICATURE of one, at that.

This site loves that performance. And you'll never convince them otherwise. But they tried to be slick and everyone forgets that the only black character in the movie turns out to be a faq.

These crackers think they slick trying to make this bullshyt affordable.

that was the joke, that dude had no idea he was playing a caricature. It’s why the Brandon T. Jackson character constantly shytted on him.

Hoosiers.

This film celebrates the all-white team that won the Indiana high school state basketball team the year before black teams started winning the title. Oscar Robertson and Crispus Attucks High School dominated them the sport for the next couple of years after the featured team.

How about the black team are seen as the overdog even tho segregation, innit.

video is time marked also

Not a classic but all of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. The stereotypes had me side-eyeing the film even as a kid

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Not a classic at all but I saw this thread for the first time today and I am sitting here watching The Ringer and this shyt looks like it could fit this category, obviously minus the distinction of being classic.

Under the radar once again.

It’s not under the radar. The character’s lack of self-awareness was the joke. He had no idea how to be a black actor but thought he could do it with the surgery and visiting “San Antone,” lol.

You mean like Italian stereotypes or something else?




I saw that shyt in a Magic Johnson theater and we were going off in the seats. But every time I think back to the movie the Bernie Mac character rubs me the wrong way.

Yup good call. Hey charcoal....

 

[King Sun]

Soul plane3

Boold in blood out

 

[Wargames]

Transformers. Anthony Anderson is c00ning in that whole film

You only live twice.
He disguises himself as a Japanese

Add Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun to that list. But they toned it down a lot for the movies, the Bond from the books is a straight up racist, as was Ian Flemming.
