Hossage Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Blaxploitation, baby. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTIklFsMjjU Any thoughts on the social implications of this film?
stevestojan Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Almost 7 years, and more than 16,000 posts of my own, and this is the first thread I've found offensive. What, exactly, was the point of this?
billsrcursed Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 IBTL They should have banned you when you admitted to hooking up with a 15 year old prostitute.... This should do the trick.
Just Jack Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Is that an actual movie? yep http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072725/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_!@#$ On Netflix it's simply titled "Boss" As for me, it was just that time in history when you could make a movie and title it that way, and no one would think twice. So it doesn't bother me. It's not like it's making the blacks look bad. He's a bounty hunter that becomes sheriff and cleans up the white person town. Think of it as the serious version of Blazing Saddles.
RayFinkle Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks for the contribution. Nothing like racial slangs on your screen when browsing TBD at work or in front of the family. Stay classy.
yall Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 You should at least edit your thread title. N***** would at least be slightly less inappropriate.
The Dean Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 yep http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072725/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_!@#$ On Netflix it's simply titled "Boss" As for me, it was just that time in history when you could make a movie and title it that way, and no one would think twice.

Think of it as the serious version of Blazing Saddles. Semi-serious, anyway. These Blaxploitation films had their fair share of tongue-in-cheek humor. You've got to get a chuckle from the theme song.
Bullpen Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 The original title to this thread was offensive and quite frankly "dats rayciss!!!!"
Booster4324 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Where's booster4324 when you need him? You rang?
plenzmd1 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 yep http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072725/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_!@#$ It's not like it's making the blacks look bad. So we have a problem with the original name of the movie, but none with this statement??? Not sure how you meant this Jack, but to me this just sounds so awful to me??
Just Jack Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So we have a problem with the original name of the movie, but none with this statement??? Not sure how you meant this Jack, but to me this just sounds so awful to me?? Well, it seems in most action movies, the black man dies first. Or in comedies, the black guy is a secondary character. 1:14 of this video for the comedy example
Hossage Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 You should at least edit your thread title. N***** would at least be slightly less inappropriate. The mods did that, not me.
McBeane Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 The mods did that, not me. Thanks for clearing that up for us
Booster4324 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Yes, where's your outrage? He is a troll, you were a respected yet unrepentant poster. I am not surprised you don't see the difference.
BuffaloBill Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 ..... this is the first thread I've found offensive. What, exactly, was the point of this? Have to agree on both points ..... especially the second. There really is no point which then loops back to the first and makes the thread even more offensive. It is understood that at times you need to have a combination of "let it slide" or "ouch that stings but it is OK" to play in this forum. This goes way beyond.
