heh.

Now do Blazing Saddles 2

I actually first saw Blazing Saddles when I was working in Liberia. People would tape movies and then exchange them with each other. And I laughed, but had to explain all the jokes to the others watching it with me....you know, it is hard to explain humor which is embedded into a culture (e.g. many of the references not just to racism but references to other movies like Destry Rides again).

Well, anyway, the humor about a black sheriff in those days was a joke. But since then, history is being rewritten, or I should say some forgotten stories are now noticed.

and history has not remembered the black Marshall: Bass Reeves.
