Maybe it's your own personal association, the colors with your religion...but just reading it on a scren, it "read" kind of racist. The problem online is, it is hard to tell an authors tone, thus intent. Like I said, I didn't mean to accuse or flame...just wanted to know what you meant by the comment, is all. Just remember that we are online and random comments can be misinterpreted all the time.

Trust me, I was more bemused than upset with the response.

A little disappointed that nobody "got it", but oh well.

I've seen Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" and I detest the movie! It is the epitome of racism and ignorace. There was not one good joke, scene, or line in the entire movie. It should be burried on the moon along with its director, IMHO. The world would fair much better without idiots like Brooks.

I couldn't possibly agree less. All the racists are portrayed as complete idiots; the only two intelligent and good people in the whole movie are the two heros: the black sheriff and the white guy who instantly befriends him and never has a problem with his race. The whole movie is an ode to how stupid racism is.
