So what is your point? Is it that the racism and bigotry in the Three Stooges should go unchallenged and accepted? That discrimination that happened in the past should get a pass and everyone should just laugh at it?
I think your point is you have no point or that you are a closet racist looking for ways to get away with racism and bigotry.
On a side note: I did not realize The Three Stooges contained instances of racist language but it does now explain why my ultra conservative father would be attracted to such low-brow humorists.
Somebody here needs to get a life.
When are you going to complain about the snake who tempted Eve with the apple?
If the Stooges disappear from consciousness, it will be because some Christian Taliban nutjob like Ted Cruz gets into the White House and purges Jews. Kind of pathetic how the right pretends the left is anti-Semitic when they have Hitler, pronounce white pride, and most Jews are liberals.
I don't notice any conservatives going after the Three Stooges.
No, it's all the race-card players from the Left who are doing that.

How Long Will It Be Before The Politically Correct Left Starts Targeting Old Classics Like The Three Stooges
'Til loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong after we see the Paranoid, Fear-Mongering Right targeting Groucho, Chico, Zeppo, Harpo et al because they're Marxists!
The Black train porter in the old lovable classics was a bit of a slap in the face. ( pun intended) The typical Black train porter during those years was an Ivy League graduate.Train Porter was the best work a black college educated man could get.
I do recall a few years ago, B.O.[Before Obama], there was criticism of some of the 1940s era Warner Bros. Looney Tunes Cartoons and especially Speedy Gonzales due to the Mexican attributes.
I find the kids cartoons/shows these days far more offensive to young viewers than the old Looney Tunes ones. We have become a nation of victims... thankfully instead of making an issue out of todays cartoons I simply change the channel and choose something else for my children to watch. Its that simple.
Most people don't employ antiquated racism for entertainment. They watch it because they are usually closet racists looking for something that reinforces and perpetuates their twisted view.
There is a difference between being aware of the flaws of our political founders and rerunning old, knowingly racist skits as entertainment as if they are perfectly fine. We don't go and reinstate the old slave laws and use them as legislation now do we? So why would we use racist skits as entertainment?
Sorry, I will try to say it in the most polite way possible that this is a crock of s***! One of my favorite comedians is the late Sam Kinison. Let me just say he isn't for the faint hearted, or for those who are easily offended! He was rather tough on the gays back in his day, and it's a good bet in this PC bizzaro world he would have had his comedy career ruined today via the progressive lynch mob, with their incessant whining, and need to ban anything and everything, because of getting their poor wittle feewings hurt! NOW, having said that, it does not mean that I agree with his stance, because being the live and let live person that I am, I have stuck up for gay people on CD numerous times, and feel that they deserve the same life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that ALL Americans are afforded! But, the shock factor alone of what he said and how he brought his material was definitely what made it funny. It was like "oh hell no, he didn't just say that!" Like I said, if you've heard any of his material, you would know that to some he can be offensive as hell! At any rate, being that he grew up in a religious household, and the fact that he himself was a for a short time a preacher, he also mocked religion as well. I don't believe he ended up becoming an atheist, but he did through his act expose some of the hypocrisys of organized religion, which would also offend many Christians.
The bottom line is this is STILL a free country, and we still have the right to free speech in this nation. And there is no laws against being a racist, regardless of whether or not being a racist is right or wrong. The only censorship that should be practiced is self-censorship in what you as a person say to another, or in the case of tv shows that you deem offensive by turning the channel.
I think this current administration reminds me of The Little Rascals. Children run amok in the halls of power.
