I didn't see this movie but I read the book. How come whenever there is a movie, a TV show, or often a book that deals with black/white relations they bring up racism. They can't touch it and leave it alone.
There is a pattern in these movies as Racism is always a one way street. You just see " the south" and know what's coming. Some angry white guys calling a black guy a ni66er. "Remember the Titans" has all the white people angry at the blacks and sometimes calling blacks monkeys. The whites all want to segregate away from the blacks.
Of course there aren't any examples of black on white crime, or black on white racism, or blacks picking on whites. It's always whites calling blacks the N word. Because that's the way the real world is???? Just a bunch of mean white people picking on blacks??? Is that why no white people in their right minds want to go anywhere near the ghetto?
Look at all the TV shows. Blacks aren't gangsters, they are all nice, respectful, smart and don't speak ebonics. Have you ever seen a TV show with white people the victims of racism?
Look at all the movies, racism a one way street.
Look at all the commercials on TV, some white guy is barking like a dog or doing something stupid, or using the old product, and then the "smart" or "cool" black guy comes alone and shows him what product he really should be buying. White = dumb, black = smart.
Look at all the newspaper ads. Of course you can't have 2 white models showing off clothes for Macy's. You have to have 1 black and 1 white. Because that's all America is right? There is no such thing as Asian or hispanic people, it's 50% white and 50% black right????
It isn't about "diversity", because there is nothing diverse about it. 99% of commercials are 1 black and 1 white. It used to be blacks would argue that they are "under represented" on TV, but I'd argue that they are way over represented on TV. Blacks are 12% of the population, but probably close to 50% of the people on commercials. Everybody wants to "support diversity" etc. They just have to have a smart black guy on there to be politically correct marketing their product. I wouldn't really argue whites are under represented as whites are roughly 70% of the people in this country and probably close to 70% of TV. The only thing is blacks are the other 30% to 50% of the people on TV and commercials ( and not other races). Even the all white shows have "token" black people.
I'm just sick of whenever black/white relations come up on TV, they are always portraying mean white racist people. That's hardly reality.
