Wait! I thought the white people in the film were the ones they were defining as the n**gers? I thought it was a brilliant examination of how the labelers, ultimately define themselves by trying to define others. Look at how the camera pans the crowd and picks out faces, and those faces are caught looking particularly Neanderthal like, very similar to Lang's ability to capture the lunacy of the mob, in films such as FURY. I mean that crowd, pale of hair and eye, becomes the very definition of n**gers. Really wacky, surreal stuff.

And then the 2nd half kicks it into overdrive. It's like Woody Allen, meets other filmmakers I don't like. :) Right? Really good flick with dancing white n**gers. And man that musical in the middle with George Bush! Man that was the snizzle! And then that amazing portion, where they revealed General Lee, was a black man in white face! AWW SNAP!!! Give a whole new meaning to the term brother vs brother. They don't make em like this anymore. :) Except for the Fox channel. :).
