How is this movie not supposed to make black people look incredibly bad?
Radio Raheem absolutely got what was coming
>>222532552He just assumes that you will see blacks as the victims already. But they come off as brutish, stupid, and needlessly antagonistic. Just endlessly causing nonsense drama all around them.
>>222532552try explaining that to Spike Lee, he thought he was making some sort of explanation of how society makes blacks go violent when in fact he's a dumb nigger showing his nigger level, in a way it's like one of those old propaganda films
>>222532552I don’t know I don’t watch nigger movies.
>>222532769He ruined it by giving a definite answer to Mookie's actions. It was better when it was left up to interpretation.
>>222532920There's no interpretation. The blacks were just in the wrong. Bed-Stuy used to be a majority white working class neighborhood. A few Italians stick around and give food to the residents, and how are they repaid? The blacks chimp out, pester them, try to kill them, and eventually destroy their property. It's the story of race relations in America. There is no solution.
a few blacks getting rowdy is no excuse for the police to murder people thobeit
>>222532981>getting rowdyYou mean attempting to kill local businessmen? Police are entirely within their rights to shoot someone choking to death an innocent.
Da Mayor ,an alcoholic bum, was the only decent one.
who keeps making these threads
>>222533025Sal did literally nothing wrong.
>>222533002first of all they choke him to death not shoot himand no they can't just murder people for doing a crime. that would be retarded
>>222533064im talking about the blacks , they all went banana toward the end over Raheem, which no one even seem to like to begin with..its like they were waiting for an excuse to be rowdy.
>>222533080Well yeah because it's a stupid movie; if the cops had shot him they would've unambiguously done nothing wrong.
>>222533002>You mean attempting to kill local businessmen?Self defense, the businessmen came at them first. Destroyed their radio right in front of them.
>>222532972>>222532769>>222532633>>222532822>>222533002Why are you so hateful? You're so unjust. There's a lack of empathy and compassion for the most marginalized group of people. Don't you feel any love in your life?
>>222533102I like how excited they are when Sal cals them niggers. They'll harrass you, push you to the edge, ENCOURAGE you to call them niggers, and then fight you for doing it. It's so accurate to reality, I don't know how Spike Lee doesn't see the irony.
>>222532633>Just endlessly causing nonsense dramaI'm racist as fuck and wish all niggers hang but it IS a drama film. If no drama ever happens on film, it'd get real boring real quick.
>>222533134Black Americans aren't even the most marginalized group in North America, let alone the world. Ukrainians are OBJECTIVELY more oppressed than African-Americans. But when a black guy kills a Ukrainian FLEEING FROM A WAR we need to feel bad for the black guy?
>>222533126Do black people actually think that killing someone over a radio is self-defense?
>>222533202No white people died in this movie, so no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
>>222533143exactly ,i was convinced this movie was putting a mirror to that community, but seems im wrong about that after watchin Spike in interviews,what a dumb nigger
>>222533143They get excited when racism occurs and will try to provoke people into being racist and saying the no no word so that they can retaliate.
>>222533212He was trying to kill Sal when the cops killed him
>>222533237He was fighting Sal, that doesn't mean he was going to kill him.
>>222533134>There's a lack of empathy and compassion for the most marginalized group of people.We're not talking about Jews, schwatze.
>>222533214I think we just have to conclude that they don't see the world the same way we do. There's no objective morality, no legal systems. Just racial grievances. It's okay to destroy Sal's business because Raheem was killed by the cops. Because both are white. Even though Sal didn't kill Raheem.
>>222533246He was quite literally choking him out on the ground
>>222533246>Just let the 200lbs good boy bonk you over the head
Spike Lee KNEW creeps like the ones in this thread wouldn't give a damn about Radio Raheem getting killed because they sure as shit didn't care or march when Eric, Trayvon, or George were killed.All I can say is y'all better hope God ain't a brotha...
>>222533386Maybe if he didn't try to kill Sal he wouldn't have died?
>>222532769He actually did. Enough of the black community thinks like this and agrees with this that they listen to the Bugging Out's and Senor Love Daddies in their community, and loot and burn their own shit down again and again. >>222533202Yes.
>>222533186>>222533294It's a bot. It's in every thread, stop engaging with it.
>>222533202>>222533237>>222533246Yes. See their interpretation of the Texas track team SYG case, the trayvon martin SYG case, the Kenoshia mass self defense shooting. the Sinzae Reed case,
>>222532981They ganged up on a 50 year old man & his workers then burned down his business. How is that just “rowdiness”? The cops shooting all of them would’ve been just
>>222533588Maybe they should've spent the effort cleaning up all the trash on the streets.
>>222533588the cops don't even know what's going on or who did what when they arriveif you think cops should show up and start killing whoever they can get away with then you're a dumbass poltard. simple as thatalso proof that we need more kinos like do the right thing
>>222533624>Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another personDid Raheem pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to Sal?
>>222533658they should be capable of breaking up a fight without a gunand he was not a threat in the movie since he was already being choked by police but they killed him on purposejust take a step back from the pro police brainwashing
>>222533624They see a gorilla with his hands around someone else’s throat who isn’t letting go even WITH the cops demanding he comply with an order. You’re just a faggot who thinks rules don’t have to be listened to if you’re “mad” enough.
>>222533658>was the black guy in the process of strangling a man to death an imminent threat or serious physical injury to the fifty year old overweight Italian
>>222533624They knew Raheem and the other rioters were black
>>222533717If they had just rolled up and shot him on the spot it would've been entirely justified. Now the film can't have that, because it would be too close to reality, so they have him die after he's separated. But I can't feel bad for Raheem, when legal precedent would imply he had forefeit his right to life.
>>222533719>but it's ok when policerinos don't follow rules like "don't kill someone if you don't have to!"
>>222533768As a result of community protests, and activism, and things JUST like this movie, various police organizations changed their use of force rules....which resulted in more shootings because the police were barred from using batons and other physical force.
>>222533768Raheem was attempting to murder Sal. You are legally justified in shooting someone who's attempting to choke a victim to death. How am I supposed to feel bad for Raheem?
>>222533841>Raheem was attempting to murder Salnot at the time he was killed
>>222533768They had to, monkeyboy, cry harder.
>>222533897So if the police had just shot Raheem dead without first trying to restrain him it'd be totally fine?
>>222533933no because shooting should be last resort and you could simply stop him from choking him insteadanyway I'm done arguingI don't get why you guys make so many excuses for govt employees. they're getting paid to do their job. stop treating them like retarded babies
>>222534028>Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another personThe law disagrees with you.
>>222533933They used to be able to shoot fleeing suspects. They should honestly just bring that back.
Every single discussion about this movie(including Spike Lee's actual interviews) is just>"destroying the store and hurting the Italians was bad">"well Radio Raheem being murdered by people not involved with the store was also bad!"I learned two wrongs don't make a right in kindergarten but it seems like most of the world didn't.
>>222534085>murder is when you kill a violent criminal attempting to choke someone to death
>>222532552The message was supposed to be something about respecting racial differences and being considerate of others but in reality its "around blacks never relax."
>>222532972OJ was innocent
The craziest part of this movie is the very end when Mookie says "gimme my last paycheck" and Sal actually does it. Are you fucking insane?
>>222534051yeah if you just ignore what necessary and reasonable mean and roleplay as a retarded drooling copthat's what their lawyers try to do but it doesn't work as much these days and they do get convicted of murder sometimes like the guy who killed sonya massey
M-M-M-MALCOMM-M-M-M-MARTIN
>>222534187He's proving that Italians truly are white. Giving money to the black man even as he tears you to shreds.
>>222534187You can't hold back someone's paycheck just because they burned your store down.
>>222534196Did Raheem pose an imminent danger of death or serious injury to Sal? Yes or no?
>>222534028>no because shooting should be last resort and you could simply stop him from choking him instead You seem to think "stopping someone" is just like casually disciplining a little child who is throwing a tantrum. This is not true at all. Most of the time these are grown adults using their full power to resist getting arrested. "Stopping them" requires the full strength of several police officers working together to just barely restrain them. And even then it can often lead to serious injuries or deaths. Like an officer getting stabbed to death in the process of "stopping them ".
Lee completely accidentally made a good movie with this
>>222534454I don't think it's accidentally good. I think the message is accidental though.
One time I was on the train and two black male sat next to each other. One of them accidentally bumped into the other. Instead of apologizing and shrugging it off, they got into a shouting match with each other and were fully ready to throw hands until one of the attendants broke them up. If either one of them had just apologized, or even calmed down, both would've moved on. But at about six different points they both chose to escalate, over quite literally nothing. Black people can conjure conflict out of thin air.
>>222534460Either way he's never topped it and it's like one of two movies of his I'll actually rewatch. The other being 25th Hour.I thought Bamboozled was almost good.
>>222534085>Being murdered by people not involved with the store also badSo if Sal or John Turo shot Raheem you wouldn’t be shitting your pants in rage?
>>222534085yeah but three rights make a left
I have racism fatigue. Racism stopped being funny a decade ago.
>>222532552it because the Italian pizza shop owner had basic pattern recognition skills, ergo evil
>>222534528Nigga moment
>>222532552>made by a niggerIsn't it obvious? They have no idea how disgusting and evil they look to normal people.
>>222533134I saw this earlier, didn't realize it was copypasta.Good for you, troll the shills with their gay race communism shit.
>>222533134Who is this fucking niggerkike poster that keeps saying "unjust"? fucking kill yourself nigger
>>222533386Lmao God could never be a nigger you retard
watching this joint for the first time right now and it seems that the message is that new yorkers are universally retarded
For me its Bamboozled and Malcolm X.
