So what makes Sucka so gloriously inappropriate and problematic?
In the same way Mel Brooks satirized his own Jewish culture and Lear satirized the working class — and both did so by mixing love with criticism — Wayans satirizes urban black culture, which is something you just aren’t allowed to do today.
If Sucka were released today, Wayans would be blacklisted by the Woke Nazis as a sellout who “makes it safe for white racists to laugh at black stereotypes,” a criticism that defanged Chris Rock permanently and Dave Chappelle for at least a decade.
Great movie.
