How to tell a good vs evil story without being racist...



Evil black man leading a bunch of evil white troops.

Who used to be White back when he was good and turns white again when he starts to care about his son.
He also takes orders from a old White man who he calls master.



Not racist

And the white troops are really Maori on the inside. Not racist.

Hera,

Also, as far as 'justification for the treatment of animals,' I don't think that it's universal that man feels the need to justify his treatment of animals anymore than the leopard justifies his treatment of the monkey.

[Heraclitus]

Wait, who are the orange people? Who are the purple people?

Very dark skin can seem pruple.



Guidos.

And the white troops are really Maori on the inside. Not racist.

The troops have aim horribly and die in huge numbers and are commanded by all white male officers while these guys have perfect aim:



The only important Black guy in the original trilogy also first betrays his best White friend only to repent after he realized Darth Vader planned to change the deal and take the white wimminz with him.

Not racist

[giblets]

Oh, but guidos deserve it.

[Tupac Shakur]

while these guys have perfect aim:

I think you should watch that scene again. The Maoris won.

Do you think Michael is right or did people use intelligence=worth even in previous centuries? Also what about his speculation on the effects of this change on the arts and sciences?

This post seems interesting and rings true to a extent but I'm very sceptical about the shifts supposed effects on art and even science. They may well be there I'm just not convinced its self apparent they are a important factor.

How do you define moral worth? I used to consider it purely on in-group pragmatic concerns, but have begun to shift to the possession of a soul (if I can just get myself to really believe in God and Christ).

I think things have changed greatly in recent decades to see intelligence as worth far more than ever in the past. Like you, I am skeptical about whether this has truly affected art & science, but I certainly see "fashionable" demonstrations of intelligence to be increasingly common. It is certainly an interesting article, thanks for posting it.

Let me repeat that they won under the command of a all white officer corps in service of an empire where all the bigshots are not only White but also have British accents:



So the Maori if they have superior numbers and are commanded and armed by the British can win while if you leave them alone on a forest moon for a few hours they can't even beat a bunch of teddy bears.





Clearly racist

Who all got blown up in the first Death Star.

And who blew up the second Death Star? A black man.

Spoilers!

Spoilers!

Anakin Skywalker gets married to a woman he loves and cares for deeply.
After he becomes Black and starts calling himself Darth Vader (clearly a gangesta nick) he nevers visits his children, their baby momma or pays a cent in child support.

This may be a spoiler but is necessary to reveal the deep racism of George Lucas

[Heraclitus]

One of the few great role models of the movie series, a little person rapper gets his ass kicked by a powerful rich male old white lover of opera who calls him racist names like "my little GREEN friend".

RACIST!
