re: #283 Dr Lizardo
There is an animated film by Ralph Bakshi, “Harlem Nights”, known better under a rather more unpleasant title, that is considered Bakshi’s masterpiece. I have it on DVD. It can be painful to watch, but that’s the idea and like the late Mr. Ebert, Mr. Bakshi cannot be considered as “racist” by anyone with two functioning brain cells.
I’ve seen part of it. And it is probably more Bakshi taking on the racism by attacking it head-on. Somewhat like The Onion article discussed in comments earlier today. So, in that sense, one of the goals *is* to make you feel uncomfortable.
