Autobot twins Skids and Mudflap strike a b-boy pose during their minstrel show.
According to a leaked memo, director Michael Bay is pissed off at Paramount Pictures for not putting enough hype behind his new sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Having seen it, we can't help but wonder if Paramount is keeping quiet because his flick about warring alien robots transforms into a vehicle for racism.
As if black people didn't catch a bad enough one from the Jar Jar Binks character in Star Wars Episodes I-III, Bay's Autobot twins, the "black"-voiced Skids and Mudflap, are the 2009 version of the Amos n' Andy minstrel show. It's hard to believe a big-money director would show his ass like this in what projects to be a much-watched blockbuster, but maybe he's gotten too comfortable hanging out with his boy Black-Ty. Whatever the rationale, it's clear that Bay is violating. How can we be so certain? Check out 7 reasons why Transformers 2 might be racist...
