Coming to America was just more relatable, but Trading Places was probably a little deeper for it’s intended audience.
It actually reminds me of Jay-Z Life of OJ, he’s explaining the game to show how oppressive or empowering it could actually become. 

I’d like to believe Don Ameche cringed a little bit (or a lot) every time he thought about delivering that awful line, but who knows?

“I’m sure Steven Miller is nazi-level racist.” You’ve left out eugenist. Where do you think the sterilization of those immigrants came from? Drumpf is too stupid to think of that. Stephen Miller, isn’t. 

“When the Israelis pick up guns, or the Poles, or the Irish, or any white man in the world says “give me liberty, or give me death,” the entire white world applauds. When a black man says exactly the same thing, word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one...”

“WHO HAS BEEN PUTTIN' OUT THEY KOOLS ON MY FLOOR???"

“What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it is necessary to have a ‘nigger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nigger. I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nigger, it means you need it.”
― James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro

It’s quite possible Trump hangs out with even bigger racists, so maybe he is the least racist person he knows. I’m sure Steven Miller is nazi-level racist.

Yup. They need the COVID version of the DNR for these folks. Have them sign it like they probably signed the waivers at 45's rally events. Problem solved.

See, here is where you can slide.. The hippocratic oath says a doctor should DO no wrong, but it says nothing about adhering to a patient’s wishes. The patient says NO, so you as a doctor just move on to the next patient that will work with you.. and when they die (and free up a bed), then its *NEXT PATIENT*.

Thisthisthisthisthisthisthis. I might - MIGHT - feel a twinge of sympathy for them If this was the first they were hearing for It. But, goddamn, we’ve been talking about this shit since last January. Fuck them If they refuse to believe It. And you don’t have to be college educated to know when somebody’s trying to…

Sadly, no. The individual zealots will die, but not in sufficient numbers to correlate with refusing to take precautions. The greater tragedy is that the sources of these ridiculous beliefs (the Redcap In Chief himself, as well as altogether too many members of the GOP) remain intact, and continue to *ahem* infect new…

Same here at the far end of Dumbfuckistan where the city has a mask mandate for businesses. Makes me want to move back to DC. I know one white woman whose kid needs a brain MRI, but the kid tested positive for Covid due to a maskless pre-school teacher infecting her. So no brain MRI. I asked the mom if they were…

Sadly, the virus doesn’t care about critical thinking skills. It won’t just kill the willfully obtuse, their actions will indirectly kill people who took proper precautions, the health workers on the front lines, our friends, our families. All because they would rather die than be inconvenienced.

Yeah, but you got to figure that somewhere around the intersection of “Hippocratic oath” and “too stupid to live”, there is a speeding karma waiting to run these assholes out of our misery.

Seriously, if they don’t believe they’re sick, they shouldn’t get the resources.

I’ve had cancer; trust and believe, you don’t want it.

Honestly, I don’t give a shit about these morons anymore. The only thing I lament is that their ignorance will undoubtedly cause others around them to get sick.
