Screw "Birth Of a Nation".
Likewise "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".
Fuck "Precious" and "Moonlight" and whatever the Black Film Du Jour is lately.
Three and only three films are needed to fully understand the Black Experience in White America:
"Gone With The Wind"
"Mandingo"
"Blazing Saddles"
Viewed in conjunction with each other, there is nothing left to be discovered, nothing else that is needed to be said.
"Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies."
"I thought you was better than the white man, Masta. But you is just white!"
"Pleasure me, you ebony wench!"
"Hey, the sheriff is a ni -- [BELL RINGS]."
"Hey, where the white women at?"
You now have your homework.
I am Laslo.
