  1. @deepfreezevideo2 why are you being vague and ambiguous instead of being clear and straightforward!!!

    Do you think you will be conceived as knowledgeable or correct by doing so?

  2. deepfreezevideo2 says:

    No.
    You figure it out.

  3. @deepfreezevideo2 what do you mean? your words aren’t clear? and the world done with what, in your other comment?

    would you explain plz

  4. deepfreezevideo2 says:

    Not on the paper thin budget. The studios were convinced this film would never be allowed to be shown. They were sure it would either tank or cause riots. They didn’t expect it to do well at all and never gave it a decent go at art direction.

  5. deepfreezevideo2 says:

    It’s people with SMALL minds (and obviously small something else) who will make sure that the world will never be done with this bullcrap.

    Taqqiyah in the extreme.

  7. @don5oan am sorry a word {HAVE} is missing in the translation; its right in the beginning

    {O mankind! We HAVE created you from
    a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable? of you with Allah is that (believer) who has piety. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, Well-Acquainted (with all things)} Ch 49, V 13

  8. @deepfreezevideo I’ll mention an interesting fact; Islam eliminated discrimination over 1400 years ago, and its a perfectly referenced and documented.. A verse from the holy Quran is better than my words

    {O mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has piety. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, Well-Acquainted (with all things)} Ch 49, V 13

    I wish to God we were as far advanced as those two are in that film.

    Well, tell you how it is.
    Mr Cracker/Devil will never forgive Obama for whipping Lucas McCain and Slut Palen.
    The mistake is to thank we are through there.
    Next time will be Nat Turner style.
    There aint no white man ever born that can meet a black man one on one!!
    (your girlfriend will tell ya!!)

  11. Unfortunately, it is still alive and well today. Too many people embrace it for it to be left behind.

  12. @melhoney89 While GWCFD was nice film…jungle fever was a little more..in your face realistic type of film.

    That’s up lifting. What – no promise for humanity?

    @ringosmum

    there’s really no limit to insanity :) ))

    @scasey1960

    Nothing has changed,men (meant as part of human race), will always find some reason to hate. The colour of the skin is just an excuse.

  19. ringosmum says:

    Someone made a remake of this wonderful movie? Where they insane?

  20. scasey1960 says:

    Have things really changed that much over the last 40 years? Let’s leave bigotry and hatred in the 20th century where it belongs.

  21. well i really dont give a fuck he is still a stupid son of a bitch

  22. jelliebbean8 says:

    You are either pulling my leg or exceptionally ignorant. The fact that I can’t figure it out is a problem on your end.

  23. melhoney89 says:

    the families in this moview were more accepting than in jungle fever even though it was made a couple of decades beforehand. I like the film jungle fever, but thought it was abit over the top.
