Blimey. That show hasn't aged well.

It seems all right to me, honestly.

The black man is clearly one of the good guys.

The two KKK men are bad guys whose prejudices lead them to their own doom. (The black guy's quick-witted interjection "where the white women at?" is rather good.)

There are some stereotypes in the queue, but nothing offensive, as far as I can see.

Good clean fun, if you ask me.

It may be that I need to renew my sensitivity training.

Ah.

I didn't click the other one when I saw that it was three hours long.
