Kevin Smith IS a genius. The black conspiracy story isn't a truism or a myth, it's a made up conspiracy that Hooper X uses to sell more comics. You obviously haven't seen Chasing Amy. WOW! Foul language in a film, all that does is add more realism to the f*cking characters. Because if you haven't notice people swear in real life. Not to mention it also adds definition and sharpness to the dialogue.
Naturally, it makes sense that we're afraid of darkness because we aren't nocturnal, and it makes sense that we should be wary in places where our vision doesn't work. If we had an option of being trapped in a room where all we could see is white, or a room where all we could see is black. In the white room, there are objects and furniture, but it's all so white that none of it is visible, and you have to search around like you were blind. Same with the black room. I think most of us would choose the white room, even though there is technically no difference.
It's an evolutionary fear. It's what drove us to harness fire.
It's not racist to depict evil forces as "dark", and dress up evil characters in Black. Black people just happen to have a darker skin tone than white people. Yes, that can make them frightening to white people, but the reason isn't racially oriented.
I only read the first post, but uh, I'm not sure who Hopper X is, but if he's a KMCer, he stole that from someone.
And the person who did that? He was totally kidding. Trying to be FUNNY. It was COMEDY. As in, NOT SERIOUS.
Oh, and maybe, above poster, you're reading too deeply into things? Is it possible that, oh, I don't know, but all those aliens are just aliens? What the Hell would make you think Watto was Jewish? Or any of that? They're just alien creatures, get the Hell over it.

wow..hmm i think that makes sense..to a political mind (oops i think i'm not supposed to use the P-word in this forum right,,)..or maybe juz to those who understands and appreciates what is going on around them..yeah that's better. For it kinda maybe coincidentally coincides wif the stereotyped traits of some particular race..like those listed above. Very literature i guess.. you might choose to see it tt way or not, entirely up to viewers of cos..
I'm curious..who are Chicanos?..and how does sebulba 'link' to them?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT CHICANOS ARE??? Ay Cabron!, What's wrong with you, homes? A Chicano/a is a Mexican-American. And Sebulba made fun of us, because of the whole mechanic/racer in the desert thing. Also, that deep raspy voice of his, and his overall demeanor, ese. That character completely dissed Latinos, ey.
VIVA LA RAZA!
hahaha i also heard some people think the Tusken Raiders echo MIddle Eastern Muslim stereotypes....because theyr'e nomads in a desert who cover themselves up, who attack wayward people who wander into their territories (ie, Luke..with his shining bright eyes, blonde hair). Sorta like Hollywood stereotypes of Native Americans attacking white settlers as well.
Originally posted by DiamondBulletsis it? I thought it was just fun aliens. What has that got t do with people? Saying there racist and thinking that JarJar is refering to black people or something is racist in it's own way. I don't see that though. I don't mind if people look different. Only if they're annoying.

That's probably true, ese. Both of them were like 100% white in the the movies, Lucas did that on purpose, ey. Lando only existed in attempt to disclaim any racism. Atleast Princess Leia's adoptive dad was Hispanic, Orale!!!!
