  WHAT IS SATIRE?!

Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.

The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Examples of Satire ➡️ https://literarydevices.net/satire/

I provide the above information ℹ️ so you can take the film below in the right context ⬇️


The key question seems to be whether the film above is racist. 

The film opens with a live action sequence: Two black convicts are planning an escape from prison. While they wait for two friends with a getaway car, the older convict tells his young companion a story—which unfolds in animation. 

The cartoon characters in the fable. —Rabbit, Bear, and Fox—obviously parallel the characters introduced in the opening sequence, and the actors who appear in the live action scenes also provide the voices of the cartoon characters. 

The story that the old convict tells is of three rural blacks who come to Harlem, get entangled in chicanery and corruption, but eventually destroy the white gangsters who control‐the ghetto. 

The black characters depicted include a false prophet, a true revolutionary, a preacher, a boxer, a shoeshine man, a number of tenement dwellers, hoods and prostitues.

Although it is true that several black characters are burlesqued (over the top/dramatic); Bakshi's most ferocious barbs are reserved for a white cop and an Italian Mafia family obviously modeled on the Corleones. 

He (Bakshi) is a satirist who has little patience for fools or frauds of any color, and the film as a whole is an attack on white racism and a very sympathetic call for black revolution ✊🏾
