>>213545176Yeah this movie did way more damage for race relations than it did helping them and I think they know it. Which is why they stopped playing it everywhere, when while I was a teen this movie was played EVERYWHERE.
Pretty much every weekend this movie was on some channel.
Derek was completely correct for much of the movie, his father died for nothing, killed by a person who was literally worth less than he was as a community member saving lives and commerce.
Derek was quite literally defending his own property from a group of people that were openly antagonizing and threatening them.
He lost his fucking house in the pending trial to try and pay for him.
Granted that fucking kike running the le may may skinhead group wasn't any better, but if anything the movie taught me that the hate was entirely justified, the direction was the problem.
Derek having his boys attack random koreans and mexicans who were just people trying to work?
That was only added because they knew the audience would be too sympathetic if Derek just blew all the negroids away and curved stomped the one.
It's subversive to the extreme, so blatantly on the nose that It only made me hate more.
