1. I'm trying to decide if that was racist or not. n/t

I could go there, too, but I'm just going to lighten up and say it was funny.

9. bad... poorly made, not funny

10. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

It doesn't change mine. :hi:

2. I thought it was going to be another preacher.

3. From my black perspective, that was more stupid than it was racist, but...

among other black folks we would just laugh it off for what it really is, Blackxploitation =/

5. I guess it depends on if the guy who made it, and the guy who posted it intended it to be racist.

But since I have no idea, I'll confess to a chuckle.

4. As a side note, this will scare the racist white folks more than it would any other

6. Ahhh...

They're scared of dark beer. ;-)

7. That was my second reaction.

My first reaction was that it made me uncomfortable even as I was laughing at it, which one could argue, means it was successful. It looks to me like it was done with love, though.

My third reaction was that, yeah, that was about the right age for Barack. He's a year older than me and I would have been 10-11 in 1973.

12. You're very good at articulating a range of reactions.

I like that. :)

11. I thought it was just plain funny. n/t
