stevestojan Posted June 18, 2010 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted June 18, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted June 18, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted June 18, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 18, 2010 Share 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. 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. 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted June 19, 2010 Share 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.
