We used to joke that Mel Brooks could never make a film in today's social climate.

No thank you. I don't need some social justice busybody putting my entertainment "Into the proper social context". Piss right off with that nonsense.
It's a miracle (https://www.cracked.com/article_22866_6-classic-movies-that-everyone-thought-would-fail.html) that Blazing Saddles was made then.

Yep. And that was just the usual corporate studio nonsense.
This movie is actually the strongest anti racism message i have witnessed in comedy form. Its a staple on how things should be. But i think the ''progressive thinking crowd'' will try to appropriate everything that is popular or ''not sjw enough''. They just cant do it otherwise and they certainly cant create anything good with a message thats popular. It has to be as subtle as a brick ergo it cannot be good. They really are in a cul de sac.
