[DNM6300]

you got to be a kidding if you ever watch the fucking cartoon you would know jazz was hip hop and always act that way plus anderson was a computer expert that she went to for help last it was a very good movie post things that could make a difference other than bullshit

when i first read this post i thought yall were overreacting
or being a little emotional, but i just seen that shit today
and yall right, that shit was crazy how they was making them
indirect comments, and some comments were blatant enough
and by the reaction on the few white faces that were in the
theater they caught that shit too...but fuck it
that was a good ass movie anyway

Its funny to me how people scream racist and scream we arent equal in a world where we are the MINORITY.

Sorry to be pessimistic but the fact is there are more spanish people in america than there are black. WE ARE THE MINORITY EVERYTHING WILL BE SKEWED TO SUIT THE MAJORITY VIEW. We cant be represented in a light thats true simply because we dont have the numbers to force that image out there.

As long as there are more white people than black.. they will always have the majority view.

like having 1 black person against 15 white (for example) trying to appeal to the masses.

who do you think is going to reach more people? the 15 white people. why? Because they have more people to do the job. That ONE black person can only reach one person at a time.

we are 12.5% of this country.. atleast what? 75% of this country is white

How the hell do u presume we appeal to the 75% to show that we are different when all it takes is what? a 5th of their population to over shadow us?

ALLL yall motherfuckas are some clowns because there's much bigger shit out there than looking for racism in transformers, yet we have 7 pages on this shit here. ROTFLMAO.

Then yall "Colin Powell" some real life shit.

Nothing but armchair militants in here.

Lame ass BGOL clowns.

Yup. That's sorta how I felt reading some of this sh*t.

Shit was odd

The scene with the fat dude dancing and yelling at the video game.

Then him running from the FBI. The crowd went nuts when the FBI apprehended and speared that fat fuck into the pool. All the mammy shit.

Jazz saying "whaddup my bitches?"

Then doing a break dancing move on his head?

Yeah shit was hella suspect. Thats how white people see us.

It was still very entertaining, but that's hollywood.

That's just horrible.......

The only thing racist was Megatron soundin like an old slave master.

COME HERE BOY!!!!

 

[mrjones]

not everything is racist..

I understand you family, but when hollywood shows us as Basketball Players, Dancers, Track Runners, Comedians, Unintelligent under achievers, in the back of the crowds, etc that is racist. This movie touched on some racist shit. It's subliminal, I don't think that they do it on purpose, but the foundation of the scenes has a racist undertone. I'm not saying that there aren't positive images out there in Hollywood, but most of what we see on television about us is whack. But I can't sit back and act like I don't see it. We all know this, but what do you do? Not go to the movies? Not watch television? Realize that it's there and move on.

SO I SAW IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND I MUST SAY IT WAS AN OK MOVIE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER ...

NOW AS 4 THE TOPIC I DONT THINK IT WAS Extremely Racist!... BUT U COULD SAY THERE WAZ SOME Racist OR RACIAL OVERTONES YES I AGREE

For all you ignorant niggas. You can go here and catch up on the REAL Transformers tip. I have watched and read nearly everything Transformers ( not the new aged shit tho ) and never in my life have I seen Jazz using ghetto slang, and acting like a fucking a coon.

Go watch them, find one fucking episode, with Jazz hunched over like a B-boy, spinning around and having "nigga" vocabulary.

Yes Jazz was "black" in the old Trans. but he wasn't a brainless, weak, unintelligent, useless NIGGA!

It may sound harsh, but I want Micheal Bay to fucking die for this piece of shit movie.

bottom line is....
most comedy, plays off stereotypes. period!
Watch def comedy jam and comic view. look at how our comedians imitate other races, particularly white folks. half of the caucasoids we know would say thats funny, but not entirely true. we dog the indians out, and the arabs have now fallen under the knife of our ignorance. not just by us but by white americas ignorance too. and we dont know jack shit about them(arabs) but we make fun of their accent and their culture. to whom we should be upset with as well (about the movie) are the black folks whom they consulted with in making the movie. Hollywood aint just ran by "the good ol boys" anymore. Were sellin ourselves out as well. So if the transformers was racist we gotta hold ourselves accountable for knowing this and still conributing to this maddness.
you cant satisfy everyone. Would anyone here woulda preffered to see Jazz emulate MalcolmX? There would def, be people tryna boycott the shit then (if it wasnt done in a tastefull manner and out of context.) Bottom line is........If some organic alien robots had come to our world and study every race inthe world Through media, and emulate us 9/10x they would play off our stereotypes because thats what we propogate. Whether youre watching tv, listent 2 radio, or even surf "The World Wide Web", its all media and media is design to create fear of our world, our surroundings, and eachother for the sole purpose of controling us. its no different than bet mtv usa spike. what makes it stand out is that a small group of poeple spent alot of money to produce and distribute this film for us to watch so they can make that money back in 10fold and get rich as hell. so if we get mad about the transformers bein racist, shit.. then be mad at everyone about it. be mad at the cartoon from the 80s for not having black folk in there. Be mad at coorporate america for not seeing the value of having intelligent black media.
Altogether, I dont see the Transformers as being racist. Optimus Prime said that we have a choice, and that reality is...that we chose to be ignorant. We chose to be destrucive.
But,As far as the movie goes, FUCKIN LOVED IT!!! I thought Berni Mac was another typecast, micheal bay prolly fished him out as well has the "fat coon" Anthony Anderson. I bet these black actors were given creative freedom in giving their charachters life. And thats how the CHOSE to play them out. Bernie and Anthony portrayed those same characters in ither movies.

i hope all the militants who are complaining about the 5 minutes of sceentime that Bernie Mac or Anthony Anderson got are pissed off about the SUPER COONING ripoff of the Back Caddyshack with Faison Love and Big Boi.

now THAT shit is insulting and stereo typical ...but of course everyone will excuse it...after all we are the "heros " of the film.

so long as we have 80 minutes and 110 minute films of us buggin our eyes and acting as if all of black people exist to make white people "cool, or us just "buckin" and "nigga please"-in ... then you really cant complain about the shit that Michael Bey does ( not that he makes all that in depth a characters in the first place)

if you are tired of the type of behavior that Bernie and Anthony exhibited in the movie then you need to not patronize the large scale projects where they do that SAME shit during the whole film or show.
