KD in CA Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Perry explained. “…I spent the whole day talking about the Darth Vader situation.” Wow....someone even more pathetic than those who spent the whole day talking about the Rex Ryan situation!
BillsFanM.D. Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcs-melissa-harris-perry-star-wars-is-racist-because-darth-vader-is-a-black-guy/ I'm a victim, you're a victim, he's a victim, she's a victim.....wouldn't you like to be a victim too? You must have to work really hard to make that analysis with a straight face. This piece is more suitable for the onion.
meazza Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Wow....someone even more pathetic than those who spent the whole day talking about the Rex Ryan situation! That can't be fun.
GG Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 And here I thought her complaint was going to be about Jar Jar Binks.
/dev/null Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcs-melissa-harris-perry-star-wars-is-racist-because-darth-vader-is-a-black-guy/ Besides the fact that in the original Trilogy Anakin Skywalker was clearly a white guy when Luke removed his mask, his (original) force-ghost appeared on Endor, and had two white children But yeah, Star Wars was Racist® because he wore a black suit. Lest we forget that the Stormtroopers, aka The Cops, were all white. I want MHP job. Gets paid a ton of money to talk out her ass
B-Man Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Wasn't that (white) Anakin Skywalker who murdered all those children ?

DC Tom Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Wow....someone even more pathetic than those who spent the whole day talking about the Rex Ryan situation! "The Darth Vader situation" is great. THERE IS NO DARTH VADER SITUATION! HE'S A FICTIONAL CHARACTER! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/boycott-star-wars-vii-movement-833102 "Boycott 'Star Wars VII'" Movement Launched; Movie Called "Anti-White" That's too stupid to be anything more than a desperate cry for attention.
BillsFanM.D. Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/boycott-star-wars-vii-movement-833102 "Boycott 'Star Wars VII'" Movement Launched; Movie Called "Anti-White" Equally stupid as the one above but the sources are a bit different. Anonymous nutbags on twitter verses a paid nutbag on a major cable news outlet.
meazza Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Wasn't that (white) Anakin Skywalker who murdered all those children ? You mean the young-ins?
KD in CA Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Equally stupid as the one above but the sources are a bit different. Anonymous nutbags on twitter verses a paid nutbag on a major cable news outlet. Exactly. And guess which one will probably be the subject of a 15 minute rant on the Daily Show or John Oliver or one of those shows.
Chef Jim Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) You mean the young-ins? Or chitlins as we call them. Oh and BTW Vader was a bad ass mother!@#$er in charge of a bunch of white guys (Stormtroopers). Edited December 14, 2015 by Chef Jim
/dev/null Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Oh and BTW Vader was a bad ass mother!@#$er in charge of a bunch of white guys (Stormtroopers). Vader was only given the authority to do the dirty work for old white guys (Tarkin & Palpatine)
DC Tom Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Vader was only given the authority to do the dirty work for old white guys (Tarkin & Palpatine) Not just that, but he was bound to Palpatine, and called him "master." And couldn't survive on his own. Clearly Vader was enslaved.
sodbuster Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 There are so many things wrong with this. Lando is the administrator of Cloud City and a freaking rebel general. In the prequel trilogy, Mace Windu was the most senior Jedi. Not to mention, as others have, Vader is white, and the Empire was partly modeled after the Nazis. Has she even actually seen Star Wars?

Or The Hidden Fortress, which Star Wars is "based on" (i.e. "stolen from," right down to the timing of the wipe-cuts.) No racism in The Hidden Fortress. It's a samurai movie.
Chef Jim Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Vader was only given the authority to do the dirty work for old white guys (Tarkin & Palpatine) Palpatine? They have a character named Palpatine?? Sounds like some gay ass chilled duck roulade dish the French made in the 19th century. You know....like Picard.
