Blazing Saddles: a Jewish Humor Attack on a Host Culture

I take a look at this purely Jewish film from 1974 which was a blatant attack on American Euro-Christian culture in the form of the western myth (significantly built by Jewish Hollywood, btw), characterizing white folks as stupid, ignorant and racist. While the buddy protagonists, a Jew and his black proxy-warrior, are endlessly clever and superior. Then I compare this to another aspect of Hollywood portrayal of the contemporary black man, Super Fly, which painted a somewhat different picture and resulted in cultural degradation in the black community. Although nearly a half-century ago this isn't a relic of the past, the same sort of manipulation continues to this day, as I recently suggested about the film Motherless Brooklyn, which apparently ultimately only got made because a BLM-inspired racism line combined with an anti-Trump line got added to the film's novel-derived story.
