Just rewatched "April In Quahog"
Sep. 13th, 2014 10:06 amThere is a joke in it that I thought was stupid (and funny) at the time, but looking back on it, I think it does a brilliant job at showing what a completely racist person Seth MacFarlane is. And the worst thing about Seth's racism is that he does it for the opposite reasons most white people do. He wants black people to love him unconditionally. He's Quentin Tarantino without Samuel L. Jackson having his back.
The joke goes like this: supposedly the world is ending in 24 hours, and on Peter's bucket list is to "go down to a black neighborhood and say the you-know-what word". The scene cuts to a couple of hours later with Peter wearing a crown and holding a trophy saying "King of the black people". It's admittedly a funny, twisted joke. But it is also completely stupid and not connected with reality except in the kind of racist brain MacFarlane's mind is. Only a racist white writer would come up with that joke. It wouldn't even cross a normal, non-racist person's mind.
Seth truly believes the way to prove that a black person loves and accepts you is for them to let you affectionately call them the N word and not be offended by it. They let other black people do it, right? That must be a sign of acceptance!
What Seth is too stupid to realize is that that is NOT a "privilege" any sane person would want. And if he actually WANTS to call his black friends the N word deep down, he doesn't actually have any. No friend would want to do that to another friend, even if they knew they'd let it slide. It wouldn't even cross their minds to do so. That this always seems to be bubbling under the surface of Seth's "humor" just shows that he is a messed up human being.
Seth has serious issues. Get help, dude. Or at least stay away from Rush Limbaugh.
