With Borat Sagdiyev, Jew Sascha Cohen has created a character that allows him to cut right to the heart of America, exposing its ridiculous cultural, moral and ethical makeup. He shows us how rancid racism is in this country when he breaks bread with some Southern elitists and proceeds to insult the physical beauty of one man’s wife, suggest that another man is retarded and shits in a bag and offers it to the hostess, only to be met with kindness and understanding, until his black prostitute shows up at the door for their date. Then, they treat him like he’s insulted everyone and brought shit in a bag to the dinner table. Doesn’t that just crystallize how bad racism is in U.S. and A? Shit in a bag vs. a black woman: Which would rich white Southerners prefer at their dinner table? The only drawback of Cohen’s comedy is how far he will go for a joke. Some of this stuff, I honestly could have done without. I believe his comedy is pretty thought-provoking and well-intentioned, but how fucking gay does a joke have to be to drive home the point that America’s views on homosexuality are almost prehistoric? And what’s the point of making fools of sincerely nice people, as he did with a driving instruction and an antique shop owner? There was simply no point to that shit. However, I did appreciate the Jew humor. That was good stuff. Now, I’m no anti-Semite—after all, if it wasn’t the Jews, my ancestors wouldn’t have come to this great land and I wouldn’t be writing this—but seeing that dude cower in fear when he realizes the nice elderly couple who’ve invited him to stay the night in their home are Jewish is fucking incredible. I don’t think I could act that scared if I was dropped naked in the middle of an Alabama cotton field. This movie had the best Jew jokes since The Hebrew Hammer. But, nothing’s fucking with The Hebrew Hammer, just so you know. Black folks, be forewarned; this movie ain’t really for you. This is one of those movies where most black folk see the trailer and go “that looks so fucking stupid,” right after they finish laughing their asses off at a Wayans Brothers trailer about two brothers who are detectives posing as world-renowned chefs on an expensive cruise ship destined for Aruba, and there in Aruba, they both meet the kind of exotic biracial black girls that only seem to appear in Wayans Brothers movies.

Ya know, I could take my Angry Black Man stance on this movie and dismiss it as another comedy they’d never let a nigga get away with in a million years. But, I won’t. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is too damn stupid and funny to view through the ‘Cism Prism.
