		<description>And I freaken doubt the pres in the film would have acted the way he did based on real life events. They film directors or screen writers obviously had an underlying motive.

Sorry if I ruined something for some just on that tid bit, WHATEV.

And yes I still hope The Pres follows through in the end. Gotta call your reps and senators to bug them to heck till they budge and do their part.

I hope that by the time I&#039;m 30 gay marriage will be legal in all states and the GOP is forced to accept us and deny their Christian jihadist&#039;s (and I mean the extremists, not those who are more accepting of us, and those who are like us [so long as they don&#039;t dscriminate against someone else cuz they have to]) attempt at denying us any acknowledgement of normalcy, relevance in all parts of life; marriage, parenthood, military work, etc.

I wonder who&#039;ll they attack next, cuz they need someone to demonize to go on.</description>

		<description>Robots emulating humans might I say.

Look I saw the damn film, I&#039;d give a five out of five for action and a 3 out of five for the plot. This film is obviously for the sex driven teens, too much sexual references. Too much for my taste.

And the chick robots had no real impact on the movie, they were there just to be there and show there a female robots. Or robots that we would identify as &quot;she&quot; when we try and understand them in human terms, after all they can&#039;t really reproduce like we humans do, which would make the male female thing moot.

But what ev.

Enjoyed the action, plot was alright, would have been k without all the sexual references and the human stereotypes given to most all the robots.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-187386&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Azatlan&lt;/a&gt;: 

Agreed.

Yet, these two characters are still racists although I doubt wholly intentional. We&#039;re just witnessing another episode of &quot;White people think race relations has been solved (or, &#039;everybody by white people take race too seriously&#039;) so they get to belittle races of people in the form of comedy&quot;.

(Side note: black people  as well as people of other races can be pretty racist as well. I&#039;m merely critiquing the movie.)

Side note 2: Saying a couple of black people don&#039;t mind, therefore something racist against blacks is okay is a terrible argument.</description>

COSIGN!

Queerty doesn&#039;t give a flying fuck about black people, or how we may have been maligned by by robots in a film. I wonder what the real point of this posting was, since it has shit to do with white gays, and their problems. Hmm...</description>

		<description>i&#039;m really shocked that that someone considered Mudflap and Skids racist rather than an extension of our human community.  (and in the movie... ALL the &quot;new&quot; bots were illiterate - so it wasn&#039;t a &quot;black&quot; thing).

i was sitting next to a black guy who found them both hilarious and laughing louder than i was at them.

so until Queerty is run my black people who are from the streets and knows what the hell they are talking about, i think it would be in our best interest to NOT go the way of Perez Hilton and stick with topics they know.  topics of race would not be include - as the above article and linked article proves.</description>

		<description>IT&#039;S A MOVIE! A MOVIE ABOUT ROBOTS! GOD PEOPLE! I saw the movie twice and as hard as I tried I could not associate the two robots with some jive talkin steppin fecthit robot. Transformers was what it was, a summer movie. Stop trying to make it more or less than it is. If people were really offended, the NAACP would have called a boycott by now. It was only racist if you assert that black people act that way in real life. And if that&#039;s the case, then is it okay for Tyler Perry to do it but not Michael Bay? I wasn&#039;t offended, I don&#039;t think anyone else should be. Now if Megatron caught one of them with a noose and hung them from a tree, it would have been a different story LOL</description>

		<description>I guess one important distinction is the lauding of the whole street-tough,  hood, &quot;gangsta&quot; (which is all just thinly veiled code for &quot;Urban Black Male&quot;) which some aspects of pop culture promote over and over. No one lauds the &quot;over-the-top faggot&quot; that Sasha portrays.  No one aspires to it. It ALWAYS an object of ridicule and violence.</description>

		<description>Yeah get over it, it&#039;s just a movie, just fun. I mean, when Bruno comes out I&#039;m sure there wont be people leaving the theather with more stereotypes about gay people (and more reasons for why they shouldn&#039;t be treated equally in all forms of the law) since people aren&#039;t so impressionable.

By the record I&#039;m gonna watch Bruno I think some of that stuff is funny, though I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll be offended here and there.</description>
