Question

I realise of course that this "movie" is a fiction and a comedy. But, if instead this movie, there would be some other movie about "the black people trying to overcome the white people"(the opposite of the "undercover brother") what would happen? Wouldn't there be angry black people in front of the theatres and stuff? Wouldn't there be comments on saying that it is a racist movie against the black people and everybody would agree?
My point is: the black people can say anything, even mock the white people and it is considerred "humor/comedy" but when the white people say something it is called racism.
p.s.: this is for the "african/americans" - stop shouting "mother africa" or anything about africa! if you like it so much, move there and don't come back! (I bet this message is going to be considerred as a racist message, but in fact it's not!)

'Some' black people would find it racist, just like 'some' white people found this to be racist. I know what you are trying to say and I think it may be because racism against black people seems to have gone on a larger scale than racism against white people. If a black man is racist to a white man it seems to be just a verbal spar. But if a white man is racist towards a black man then people will think about slavery, how blacks were seen as lower class citizens and the KKK, which is probably why anti-black racsim seems much more extreme.
