Get a fucking life. Your bitching about robots. I loved the movie and those two guys where my favorite characters. FYI i am white and i think its lazy dumb low life mother fuckers that always have to start some bull shit. I actually loved those guys so much that i am getting mudflap tattooed on my ribs.

They even look like monkeys (especially the orange one), how does anyone think this is not racist or deliberate... Look at the pictures above.

More white people are bound to correct someone saying "black" instead of African-American than Black people would. I would know, I'm a black man. LOL. I think black people realized exactly what it was, "A HUMAN stereotype, being affixed to robots, albeit sentient robots, but it's still ludicris. And it's not hard to make the jump to what Kent has pointed out. On the other hand it's funny that people automatically thought "Black" with the gangsta slang, and NOT "Wigger" or wannabe. No one from the hood sounds that DUMB speaking like that when they grow up around it. They may sound a little different but not with all the stereotypical slang. But hey that's just my 2cents.

But what is weird is that black people seemed to enjoy these characters more than anyone else I know. In the theater, I looked around and saw many cracking up as I cringed uncomfortably, and my black friend said they were "a riot." Even the woman in front of me was cracking up as she said "oh dear lord." Is it possible that white people are more offended than anyone else by this?

Michael Bay thinks doing things of an epic nature in a film makes a film epic, and his poor logic shows in this movie throughout it's plot.

I liked it. And as a black person, I wasn't offended. For one thing, I don't talk like that and don't know anyone who does. And secondly, it's a movie about talking robot cars. Seriously with what's going on with the world, people are having a fit about two fake movie robots. Transformers 2 has only one purpose and it is to escape reality for 2 1/2 hours. I saw the movie.
