Sweeny Todd Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Depp version)

West Side Story is thoroughly enjoyable man. But certainly not without its faults.

steve martin was the man..should've won an oscar..i actually knew this song word for word at 1 time( ok i kinda still do
)
probably 2 or 3...maybe.. I had a hard time trying to figure that out...Of the sharks I found that one was greek, one was italian, one was argentinian and it became harder to find bios on most others.
you right
fam you gotta just let all that stuff go at this pint
cause ALL of them are offensive and stereotypical to a degree.
And when I was young watching that?
NONE of it registered.
I feel bad for these young folk.
they aren't even given the foundation to discern the good from the bad.
We can't burn books with the word nigg*r in it and my mom actually sat down and listened to 2 Live Crew with me and talked to me about the difference between REALITY and FANTASY.
I remember when our teacher only knowing GREASE form TV
played the ORIGINAL recording with the curses and she almost tore an ACL turning off the record player
(yeah I said record player)

Peace,
I hear you, brother.
South Pacific is the most racist, patronizing shit ever. That’s just what it was at the time.
My son’s class was assigned And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie last year. I had to tell him what the original title was and have a long discussion with him about the various and sundry ways that racism has been/is practiced in our society (and how casual, de facto racism is just as dangerous as any other form). It’s a trip.

hell even speedy Gonzalez and pepe la pew...
Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn
Roots, Gone With the Wind, North & South
Kapernick
But I think its IMPORTANT that we do this
and not let OTHERS tell our history
as THEY see it.
Peace,
Maaaan, don’t even get me started on the racist cartoons.
Bugs Bunny was my favorite growing up. I remember an episode when he was in Africa and found himself being cooked in a pot while a bunch of supposed Africans danced around him singing jibberish. Then one comes running out of bush frantically shouting something that sounded like “E-boo-wanna.” The rest of the Africans repeat the word, take off running, then the source of their fear, a cac, emerges from the bush shortly thereafter.
