I disagree. The jokes were just as shocking then as they would be today. I think Blazing Saddles broke new ground and was the beginning of films where racial stereotypes were blatantly thrown out and laughed at rather than pretending they didn't exist. That was a good thing.

Precisely my point! There is no one in Hollywood presently with the stones to make a move like Blazing Saddles today. They wouldn't buck the "PC" crowd to do it.
Mel Brooks DID. He COULD.
And yes, that WAS and IS a good thing.
