"Woo!"
"Boo yah!"
"That's what I'm talkin' about!"

To be fair now, one time Kari Byron said, "That's what I'm talkin' about!"

"Woo!" "Boo yah!" "That's what I'm talkin' about!" Those are all lines from your favorite character, Finn, from your favorite Disney Star Wars movies. Are you complaining now? |

pretty exaggerated. I've seen plenty of movies where that isn't the case. Why lie?

A bit of an generalization, don't you think? I'm pretty sure the Madea films are written/produced by only black people (and marketed towards blacks) and they feature pretty much all that dialogue you mentioned. If you're trying to critique racial stereotypes in Hollywood, there's better ways to go about then crass oversimplication of a rather complicated issue.

"Woo!" "Boo yah!" "That's what I'm talkin' about!" Don't forget 'Aight? Aight!'. |

I'm rather curious what your opinion is on 70s blaxploitation films (again films that were written/produced almost exclusively by blacks). These films are pretty much nothing but two hour stereotypes, but at the very least they did allow for black actors to get a footholding in Hollywood and are still highly regarded in the black community today (Shaft, Foxy Brown, Superfly, etc)

For the women, they're just the typical sassy black women characters.
"Oh no you didn't, Miss Thing!"
"Oh no, Girlfriend!"

Uhoh, you alluded to the existence of racism even in a jokey way. Time to get sensitive and insecure.

What we have here, little yellow sister, is a magnificent specimen of pure Alabama Blacksnake.
