Within each race we are all unique and no one stereotype can apply to all peoples. Some Blacks may think it's racist, others do not. However, if this were an American company, if even one person finds it offensive, action must be taken. Keep that in mind. It may have been purely coincidental and was viewed in typical comedic fashion, and then again, it may not and was intentional. Who knows?<br /><br />Comedians of all races make fun of their own race as do pretty much all people. What's funny to some can never be funny to all and much of it may very well offend somesone. To prove my point, I know a few other Blacks that feel that the comedian Michael Richards, the character Kramer of Seinfeld, was in the right when he unleashed his racist tirade on that unsuspecting young Black guy. They said he shouldn't have been heckling him. I, on the other hand in that instance, disagree with them. Pushed to the edge or limit or whatever, it brought out who he was within. <br /><br />In regard to the Twins in this film, I feel it can be taken both ways, that it could be coincidental and Michael Bay meant no wrong, or that he is a little racist and it was deliberate. There is no way to tell or prove it, but if many people are offended, an explanation is forthcoming which he has provided. Apology? It wouldn't hurt but I don't believe it necessary, though I could be wrong about that, public relations-wise.<br /><br />The bottom line is this: given the rocky beginnings of this nation, there will continue to be sensitivity with regards to race and this should be understood and patience should be accorded. Just because we ourselves don't see how someone could be offended doesn't make the person who is offended wrong for feeling thus. We have to have a sympathy and a tolerance that is ever-widening if we are to grow as well-rounded human beings in this world. Cultural, racial, ethnic and spiritual understanding is needed in a world of heated arguments, discussions and disputes that often erupt in violence. Why not acknowlege what each person feels about it and move on? Opinions will never be the same so why expect them to be?Big Willienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-53952771385379609832009-07-29T02:38:51.399-04:002009-07-29T02:38:51.399-04:00I love the twins they are so funny i dont see the ...I love the twins they are so funny i dont see the problem?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046404187370317427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-1002051949208309782009-07-05T00:39:29.671-04:002009-07-05T00:39:29.671-04:00I'm black and I loved the twins.

The key word here is culture. Gangster types don;t have a race anymore. There are white, black, latin, greek, japaneese, chineese gangsters and guess what? They ALL sound like the Twins did. With their own individual set of idiosyncracies. You say it's racist...racist againt who? Gangsters? Hmmm, I'm kind of not worried about offending them. Some say the charatures depict blacks...ok. Ever hear of the Wayans? At this point in our society I think we can get past the notion that only black can make fun of blacks. If a white person does it then it's racist. It really depends on what is said. In my opinion if you actually look at WHAt the Twins said...it's the same that anyone from that culture woudl say no matter what race they were with.

The ONLY time I ever see anyone saying "these characters were racist" is when the movie/show is made by a white person. Yet, no one so much as bats and eye when a black person creates a show making fun of his "people's ways" (ie. The Boondocks). There are SO many other movies and TV shows that "make fun of black people" yet no one cares. Now, if there were a movie making fun of "rednecks", guess what, no one would care. They'd just laugh it off and never think twice. Would you like to know why? Because "rednecks" would probably be laughing saying "Yep, that's for damn sure. That's how we get it dun up in hur..." I should know. I have a family full of rednecks.

What if he was a surban white boy trying to be gangsta or what if they would of been redneck. Should the white people in the south be offended? Also, What about the new GI Joe I have seen the previews and Damon Waynes acts like the twins. Is GI Joe being Racist or is everyone that is critizing the Twins think that black people are dumb, can't read, and talk a certain way. I would be more offened about the people stereotyping the twins as being black think that is the way black people act.Korihorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787646666616274614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-53614898129768048582009-06-26T02:31:48.004-04:002009-06-26T02:31:48.004-04:00We've established that the Twins are funny but...We've established that the Twins are funny but offensive... Mistakes were made and there's no excuse for it but what makes it worse is that Michael Bay insists that there is nothing wrong. It's troubling that the person responsible for the year's biggest blockbuster will not apologize.<br /><br />Thinking it through, I just don't see how anyone can go through a number of takes during the making of the film or watch the film multiple times and never think about the fact that the twins are embodying a negative stereotype. Most people including kids saw what we're talking about after seeing the movie once. It's extremely ignorant and disrespectful that he just won't apologize.
