From Young Frankenstein to Old Wokenstein: Too bad—even Mel Brooks can’t fight against the insanity of being forced to have at least 50% blacks in his cast

[“97-Year-Old Mel Brooks Releases History of the World, Part 2 to ZZZs; blacks apparently in every scene.”]

Making appearances in History II are black Jesus and black Alexander Graham Bell—which IS funny—because there’s no way that blacks could have COME CLOSE to inventing the telephone without a White person telling them how to actually do it.

For his next movie—at age 100, Brooks will expand on that ludicrous idea and have an all-black cast for the tentatively titled, “I ALMOST Invented DAT”—to where Thomass Edddison, Ben Frankline, the Write Brothers, Sambo Morse and many other black “inventors” discuss and re-enact the circumstances of how the light bulb, bi-focals, airplane flight and the telegraph were ALMOST created—BY BLACKS—with the ideas then stolen by Whites like Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin, the Wright Brothers and Samuel Morse.

A film clip:

“Now where’d I leave dat phone I was real close to inventin’? Looky there, some White man in the yard, running away with my phone. Damn thing didn’t work, but I was gettin’ there. Oh well, I’ll just start tryin’ to invent electricity. But first, some watermelon, while I lay on the hammock.”

GRA: Seriously, it’s all part of historical revisionism, and Mel may or may not know it, but in History of the World, Part II, he’s being used to facilitate the same revisionism Ava DuVernay apparently succeeded in accomplishing with the CP5 miniseries.

How about a black JFK, while we’re at it (or is that too soon for anyone to believe?)

GRA: Because it’s so “diverse”?

(latimes) As popular as it’s been across the decades, Mel Brooks’ work, on its low or high end, isn’t for everyone; the easily offended need not apply. (For the situationally offended, the next good sketch may erase the bad flavor of the last.) Part II is typically rude, crude, dumb, learned, erudite and delightful, by turns or even all at once, and it’s perhaps the only television series that would dare, or even find occasion to make a joke about a pop vocal group called Bolsheviks to Mensheviks. Which is good enough for me, and maybe for you.

Why not a negro in every scene! Everyone knows anything of any sort of value was first done by blacks. blacks have been first in everything that ever was. the original human was a black african. they also patented an “improvement” to the ironing board, however you make an improvement to an ironing board.
