For me, hands down Dances with Wolves
This movie depicts the life and travels of a Union soldier who is sent to man a post on the Western frontier (which, at the time, was just to the west of the Mississippi) that is particularly vulnerable to Indian raids.
The movie is devoid of any of the racist innuendo that was surely used at the time. The kicker for me was the fact that even though the man (Costner) was alone in the prairies... J-Los/Pocahontas everywhere, practically throwing themselves onto him, the dude seems (oddly) attracted only to the orphan white woman (McDonnell) the Indians raised.
This is Tarzan of the Jungle and Alaskan Bush People all rolled up into one ultra-pasteurized movie made to white-wash (no pun intended) what was a particularly racist and putrid time in American history. Not only that, the "white knight" message is clear for everyone to see.
It also won multiple oscars. Now you know.

Dances with Wolves
-
Dance's with Wolf's...
-
The Birth of a Nation. Made around 1915.
-
probably this movie.. :o :o :o :o :o
-
Guessing you mean unintentionally racist. Not some blackface thing from the silent pictures era.
Off the top of my head: The Green Mile. They couldn't have made a more Magic Negro movie.
-
Blazing Saddles was pretty racist.

Blazing Saddles was pretty racist.
Would never, ever be made today. Unless it was a Tarantino movie and some brutha like Samuel Jackson could deliver the line.

with this line of reasoning you could just say Star Wars.
as you know darth vader is played by James Earl Jones as Lukes "absent" father but when he assumes his paternity he is unmasked as a whitey!

Good point. This made no sense because Luke was obviously abandoned as a child and from his living conditions we know the father never paid child support so it had to have been a Hebrew, right?

It's more of a Will Smith film I think...

That's another one that had me going "WTF?! Huh?!"
Honestly, I don't know how black folks put up with this shit.
I'm glad Will Smith is raising the issue.

Anyone ever see a 70s exploitation film called Fight For Your Life? That deserves an Honorable Mention.

The Natives were simply over run by a superior culture, something that has been happening since the beginning of time. The Indians did the same thing to each other, constant warfare and subjugation of each other including enslaving defeated tribes. You look at history through the eyes of the present.. It's called 'revisionist history'...Standards were different in 1860.
-
I always assumed the Natives were planting flower gardens, holding hands and seeing kumbaya for 100s of years before the Spaniards came over.
-
Another movie that had me scratching my head was Steven Spielberg's Amistad.
1839... Slave ship full of slaves from Sierra Leone, where they were captured and sold into slavery by other "evil" black men to "evil" Spanish merchants. The ship makes it to Cuba but the slaves revolt on the way to the US. Two of the "evil" Spanish merchants steer the ship to the East coast of the US instead and the vessel ends up being captured by an American navy ship, which takes them to port and detains all.
What ensues next is white-washing of monumental, biblical, proportions: The case is taken to court where a court-full of white folks hear everyone's side and... the slaves are eventually freed and returned to Africa. Science fiction at its best. As to why Spielberg would choose that extremely short window of time when the North became extremely obtrusive with the South's racial practices (not because Northerners believed in equal rights, mind you, in fact many Northern towns had anti-black exclusionary town covenants) tells me there is more to the story that what eventually made it to the screen. Steve made a movie that white-washed real issues, made heroes out of what were really evil human beings and anti-heroes out of no-ones just doing their jobs. Even the Royal Navy made it out unscathed, as if!!

Quentin Tarantino only makes movies so he can keep saying "ni**er" without any repercussions.

polychronopolous, oldgolds, you guys have to learn how to properly quote people.
One of you just quoted an empty space and the other added his/her comment to someone else's comment.

Well, when you see a video of a black person knocking out a white person... you surely know that to be criminal behavior.
When you read about a bunch of whites killing the rightful owners of a country and/or then stealing its resources... that's called being "over run by a superior culture".
Something is amiss here.

The Birth Of A Nation (1915) ?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0004972/

Anyone ever see the movie "White Man's Burden" with John Travolta? It was pretty cool, made in the 80's I think.

I saw the film "Staying Alive", I think it was about Travoltas character moving into a black neighbourhood.

I was just about to mention this one. It's a very fun film for those that like stuff like Death Wish, Last House on The Left, etc.... -
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2um7s1_fight-for-your-life-1977-feature-crime-thriller_shortfilms .
If it doesn't go directly there, say yes to the age permission, and search "Fight for Your Life 1977" .
Would make a good double feature with Vice Squad -

Fun fact... Staying Alive was directed by Sylvester Stallone and he even makes a cameo in it.
-

Blazing Saddles is so overrated.
Not one thing in that movie is even remotely funny
-
Favorite scene in Blazing Saddles
Buggerers BULL-dykes!
-
Also, while not a great film, Soul Vengeance is hilarious in a few parts with its race stuff. Basically, a black drug dealer gets caught, castrated, and thrown in jail. He learns voodoo there, and uses his BBC to exact vengeance on the honkies that mistreated him -
.
Best scene in the film, it was directed by the same guy that made the Penitentiary series.
-

Frank Stallone sings the main song. Staying alive was a bigger blockbuster than Saturday night fever.

A man called Horse..
-
yup, most racist movie is star wars following by lord of the rings
-
Lord Of The Rings
edit:
Htexan beat me to it but Starwars isn't based on races really. It's only one human race there it seems to portray.
LOTR on the other hand quite clearly is based on racial differences...
-
Star Wars is George Lucas black magic, Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism movie...
-
Blazing Saddles was pretty racist.
You don't see sarcasm very well in films?
-
"Fight for Your Life" easily...

Lord Of The Rings

What could be more racist that aliens targeting the human race? :D

It said the video wasn't available. I was much relieved.

How about just watching a movie and just enjoying it or not ::)
-
The 1968 movie "The Synching of Metronomes" is quite racist.
It pits the blacks vs the gays, and in the end, when they merge, Goodrum emerges from a Cocoon as an amalgam of the traditional and the modern, the oppressed colored and the oppressed limpwristed.
The final scene when he performs cottonpicking with nailpolish is a very strong statement.

I didn't see these films, but they sound like they could be racist to me:
That Nig, Lebowski
Nig Trouble in Little Chinkville
Nigger: &guy, Faster (documentary)
A Kikework Orange

-
Randall is def a getbigger right down to his real life job
-
48 hours

White chicks for the win. 2 black guys pretending to be white girls is considered funny but if it was two white guys pretending to be black girls and playing the sterotype there'd be riots all over America.

Birth of a Nation (original one)
The eternal Jew (Nazi film)
