2D1F – Blazing Saddles
Blazing Saddles – To ruin a western town, a corrupt political boss appoints a black sheriff, who promptly becomes his most formidable adversary.
A classic comedy from the early 70’s that spawned so many catchphrases that er still in place today. Very politically incorrect to today’s standards, but a gem nonetheless. We’re pretty equal in our opinions this week, and neither of us really wanted to say the N-word, although it’s in the movie plenty of times.
The movie and beer, Coop Ale Works Native Amber, were thanks to our good friend Dave Haney from Oklahoma, who sent us the beer along with the movie suggestion. We normally drink 3 beers each on 2D1F night, and so we also added a very strong Polish Black Boss Porter in honor of Sherif Bart. If you’d like to be responsible for the beer or movie we review, get in touch.

One of the major contributions to the study of rhetoric accomplished in the 20th century study was that the meaning of a word is the missing part of its contexts. So don’t fear the “N” word, even if you can get beaten up by racists who themselves proudly use it. After all, would you label John Lennon and Yoko Ono right-wing racists for writing, “Woman is the Nigger of the World”?
