So is it true that negroes are genetically inclined to be scared of both snakes AND planes? After chatting up Snakes on a Plane at my office, as I so often do, I was talking to my fried-chicken-loving co-worker and when I brought up Snakes on a Plane, he was appalled, claiming "nuh uhhh, I's not seeing no movies with snakes NO WAY." One of his African brothers came along, and upon entering the conversation, decisively agreed, though admitted he could handle seeing Anaconda, "cuz that one only had one of dem snakes" and albeit a huge snake, was offset by the casting of J-Lo's huge booty.
So, in this regard, is there more to this than what meets the eye? It is well documented that Samuel Jackson signed onto the film post-haste upon hearing the title, and adamantly refused to partake in the production if the title was changed to something less distinctive. By blowing away motherfucking snakes, and on a plane no less, is he really taking a stand and showing his kind that it's safe to evolve from being a porch monkey, and take off into the fields, rise against the snakes that oppressed them for generations in their home continent, and be free to roam the skies with their fair skinned counterparts at long last?
