how bad is this ? it was pulled by the moderator krys-o from the off topic fmu message board and there is a thread now arguing for and again it. some think its funny others dont. some find it offensive and some dont. with the success of barber shop one and two and now the beauty shop, what up ? those were black projects and this looks like white boy stuff to me. its appropriately critical of institutionally segregated mid century america and burns brother hokey white bread style exhibited in the jazz, civil war and baseball docs. but crosses the line with some n bomb and stereotype transgressions.
now that discussion threads been wiped
Did any black people complain, or was it just well-intentioned whites arguing among themselves?
the white moderator said black members of her family saw it and were offended. i dont know if she said "look at this, does it offend you?," or how it came up otherwise.
this guy just realized the discussion thread was wiped. i wonder if they will get rid of this one too.
