No, man. Those fingers, and the lonely, sedentary lifestyle that led to them, are sad.
Damn your comebacks are wack, I thought you could contend with me on the battle field but I see you can't. I'm glad I don't use that phrase "Cac" though, I'm not going to disrespect my ancestors.
Man so many of those movies had slick racist shit you can't be think it wasn't on purpose. John Hughes was the worst with it. Just about each of his movies had that "wtf" moment.
Rae Dawn Chong drops the N-word as she launches scathing attack on Color Purple co-star Oprah Winfrey
- Rae Dawn has since admitted 'regret' over using the racial slur but refused to make a full apology over her attack
Oprah Winfrey's former Color Purple co-star Rae Dawn Chong has launched a scathing attack on the talk show host.
Speaking on internet radio show Matty P's Radio Happy Hour, the Canadian actress, 52, drops the N-word and criticises the media mogul's weight and accuses her of being 'power-hungry'.
Rae, who has mixed Chinese, European and Afro-Canadian heritage, claims Oprah, 59, would have been a 'house n**ger' if she had lived before the emancipation of slaves.
No love lost: Rae Dawn Chong has criticised Oprah Winfrey during a radio show interview
Despite insisting she got on well with Oprah during the making of the Alice Walker film adaptation, her opinion changed when they made Commando, which was released the same year as The Color Purple.
Fans of the film will know Oprah played feisty Sofia in the film, while Rae played Squeak - the girlfriend of Sofia's husband Harpo (William E Pugh).
During the interview, which was first reported byTMZ, Rae swears frequently and uses the N-word twice when discussing Oprah.
Host Matty P is audibly shocked after Rae said: 'If you look at the way [Oprah] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a house keeper luckily. She would have not been a house n**ger she would have been a field n**ger.'

Rae has since attempted to issue an apology over the use of the racial slur in a video forTMZ.
However, she appears to stands by her attack on Oprah, despite claiming she meant to use the N-word as a 'compliment'.
Rae originally said her opinion of Oprah soured when she was invited to Chicago to see her talk show.
She said: 'She was lovely (during The Color Purple). It was after when I starred in Commando with Maria Shriver's husband (Arnold Schwarzengger) is a movie, she was a total biatch (sic).
'She invited me to come to her show and she just wasn't having me. She’s competitive. She didn’t like me. She just wasn’t having me.
'They put me in a real s**tty hotel downtown and my son got sick and at the end of the day, it was just a nightmare.
'I ended up being backstage and she called me on stage and I was like, "You know what, f**k you b**ch." Oprah is all about Oprah.'
Acclaim: Oprah received an Oscar nomination for her performance as Sofia in the movie
Despite her criticism, Rae insists she respects Oprah a lot for breaking barriers because she is a rare African-American women with a great deal of power.
She explained: 'She's amazing, I respect her, I think she's done great things for women of colour and women of a certain size... but do I think she' a good person?'
Rae goes on to criticise Oprah's looks and accuses the talk show host of 'brown-nosing' her way to the top.
She continued: 'The thing that’s really great about Oprah that you cant take away from her is that she's a great brown-noser.
'If you were in a room with her, she would pick the most powerful person in the room and become best friends with them.
'When we worked with her. She was the fat chick, the wannabe cheerleader in school that was the student council president, that was best friends with the principal... The volunteer nurse. She was the fat chick in school that did everything so everybody loved her. That's Oprah. Love me, love me, love me.
'You've got to respect her. No matter how vile she is, she's all about Oprah and she's boring, but you kinda gotta go, "Hello hats off" like, "You’ve done an amazing thing you have actually shifted the DNA of the universe."
'We have to give her props, no matter my personal vibe with her, I gotta stop and say this woman is a miracle and I respect her and I say kudos to you.
'She shifted the DNA in terms of our thinking of a woman of a certain size and a certain shade. I love her for that. I don't care what she's about. I don't care that I know her ins and outs. I just think that she's done a lot and I love her for that.'

Hollywood is cac supremacy greatest weapon.
The Toy is an interesting case. As a kid, I was just happy to see Richard Pryor in a non R rated movie for once. As an adult I realized the film actually was working on 2 levels. One being the crazy antics of Black man who submits to "voluntary" servitude to a Rich white person, the other was the Bre'r Rabbit trickster who uses his proximity to white authority figure to do some good for his community.
If you recall, the sub-plot to the movie was Richards brother/sister in law were working to organize the workers of Jackie Gleason's character's company due to his unfair business practices. It all falls apart in the end because it goes the "wise magical negro" route with Rich's character bringing The Rich White man and his son closer to each other.
In the end The Toy, reflected the real world choices Black people make every day in an oppressive system with the addition of some edgy comedy that Richard Pryor was famous for.
Soul Man, on the other hand, took a very sensitive set of issues (complexion bias, racial quotas, affirmative action, interracial relationships) in the Black community and tried to make a light hearted comedy out of it. No bueno!

Yeah, man, I liked the General Lee too; just think of that pro-African Holocaust/pro-Slavery General Lee & we wanted toy cars with that name. That's a total mind fuck! Thank God, your father had good sense.
What's so bad is that I wanted to overlook these WTF racist moments, however the subtle message was "these movies ain't about you *******". & I liked John Hughes, there was a scene in 16 Candles where a Black person is mentioned in the school dance scene & the white girls were like "eeeewwwwwww" or something like that. Then I had to pretend that didn't happen, another mind fuck.
...you make it seem like The Toy was some radical subversive film. I've got to get you to analyze Gone with the Wind, "you see the Hattie McDaniel role was really similar to Nat Turner, she was putting on the mask that her oppressor wanted to see, however all through the film she was subverting the main narrative & plotting her revolt against the southern plantation."

My point was it "could have" taken a more serious angle on the issue of disenfranchisement. The elements were there, but the director/writer went the other way for the "happy ending" where the truly Racist politician is exposed, but the almost as racist rich white man gets to bond with this kid.
Probably never know, but I wonder if Richard pushed for that sub plot to be in the film in the first place.
Man....I was just teasing yah, however on the real I know what you mean: Richard Pryor would often change a scene if it wasn't right like a lot of actors do. Here's an example of one that didn't work racially so Pryor tweaked it:

Yes indeed, that's why as parents we must remain vigilant.
My pops was the same way I mean we would watch Duke of Hazards because it was about funny hillbilly rednecks doing car stunts and running from the keystone cops. However at the toy store I wanted the General Lee Car for my hot wheels tracks and pops being a MS native was like
. He was like you can have the Knight Rider car instead though.
it's like they inserted the wrong torso into the legs and were like fuck it
Man that's one of my favorite movies, as a kid me and my grandmother used to watch it together and laugh our assess off.
