>Pizza store owner has his business burned down by niggers who try to dictate how he decorates his business
It's funny how every movie trying to explain the plight of the black man in America inadvertently ends up being a confirmation of why they're hated in the first place.
It wasn't really a white guilt flick though, it's about how racial tension unleashes when pushed to the edge. Both the black guy and the Italians were being stupid.
Robert Jenkins
>Italian puts pictures on a wall of his building >Blacks demand he put blacks on his wall >"No" >They burn his store down
No, the niggers were 100% in the wrong.
Elijah Watson
And Italians were also in the wrong for being angry racists in the movie.
Xavier Harris
Fuck you, fuck your pizzas, and fuck Frank Sinatra.
Noah Allen
That boom box negro was such a fucking autist
Jackson Flores
>And Italians were also in the wrong for being angry racists in the movie. No, they weren't. It's their store, their rules and racism isn't cause for arson and destruction of property you stupid ape.

It's common decency, user. They were basically his only patrons, he could have thrown them a small bone at no real cost. It doesn't excuse the chimping out, no. But he should have done the right thing to begin with
Grayson Lewis
>They were basically his only patrons, he could have thrown them a small bone at no real cost. >You need to bow down to niggers or else Fuck off, nigger.
Gabriel Hall
"do this thing or i fuck up your whole life" based kangs showing the pizza man what its like in the land of the free
Angel Rivera
The Civil Rights Act(1964) was mistake.
Nicholas Garcia
Didnt niggers and tomato niggers always hate each other?
Camden Robinson
>remember that radio raheem was choking a guy to death because of a boom box >remember the only blacks that worked in the movie were the DJ and the delivery boy, who routinely fucked off to fuck is baby mama, relax, talk to his friends, NOT WORK, all the while bitch and say FUCK YOU to the people giving him money >remember that at the end, the blacks dont care for the only business in the neighborhood because, "the insurance will pay for it" >remember that the blacks dont pick up their neighborhood they trashed yet bitch that the city doesnt pay or care to clean up their mess >remember that the cops were on the side of the blacks in the beginning, when the blacks were messing with the goomba in the cadi, but later get the evil eye from the old blacks because they are driving their beat >remember that the race baiting black wanted to beat up and steal from the white dude because he didnt belong in their neighborhood and mistakenly stepped on his shoe >remember that being from a place doesnt matter to blacks as you are not their skin color >remember that the only thing that blacks are proud of is their music, as they spend 5 minutes listing off black artists, the only black working is the DJ, and that radio raheem is played as a god for blasting noise in the neighborhood this movie is good up until the point that it says everyone is shit but he keeps going to say the whites are wrong, this movie, like spikes career is race baiting shit, he is a racist, and so are his movies
Benjamin Flores
you mean a hand out?
Jaxson Nguyen
Your feelings being hurt isn't legal or moral casus belli, you fucking baboon.
Liam Bell
>guy literally pulls out a baseball bat threatening to crack the black guy's skull in during the first encounter
Gabriel Long
do you REALLY think Spike fucking Lee intended that to be the message?! An impartial message about tolerance? SPIKE LEE!!?? you're fucking delusional
Colton Lee
lol. yes that's how he meant you to interpret it.
[spoiler alert: i meant that's how he bullshits. him acting like a baby over the oscar loss was the most recent thing to show he's full of shit]
A medium sized word called boycott. That would have been the right thing to do.
Brandon Hill
You mean after the niggers came in and demanded that he shut down HIS store and started hurling racial slurs?
Nathan Foster
>tomato niggers Sad. So many racial slurs for Italians, and you just throw a nigger variation at them. Not even a good one. Spaghetti nigger would be much better.
But yes, wops hates moolies.
Jonathan Nguyen
are you an idiot? If Mookie hadn't thrown the trash can then Sal could've been killed too. He defused the situation by putting anger elsewhere. Sal had insurance money, which was pointed out at the end of the movie. Hell, even Mookie is working for Sal again if you watched Red Hook Summer. Property should not devalue the life of a person, if that was the case then Sal destroying the radio meant his life was forfeit as well for destroying another persons property. I know being racist is the in thing right now and you're trying to be part of the crowd but actually try and think for once about the full picture.
John Foster
I seriously wonder what it's like getting ahead in life purely out of the colour of your skin.
Austin Foster
>remember that this was set in a time where NYC police were killing blacks on a regular.
Christian Martin
>if that was the case then Sal destroying the radio meant his life was forfeit as well for destroying another persons property Nigger logic
Gabriel Turner
>It's common decency No, common decency is holding the door open for someone if they're coming through after you. Dictating what you do with your business if nothing to do with 'decency'. Fucking faggot.
Austin Mitchell
So you agree that Radio Raheem being killed by the police because of him and Sal fighting is terrible as well? Because it involves private property and all. Good to know! Thanks!
Daniel Bell
>Why a no Koreans on your wall in Korea town! You Tacobell! so what!
Its fucking ridiculous how people jump through hoops to justify violence and destruction. Literal retarded people get away with less
Owen Stewart
They give Sal their money. He should give back to the community who supports him. Sal said he couldn't open a joint where him and his boys live because every mom and pop has a pizza parlor. Sal owes the people of bed-stuy a lot for keeping his business going and putting food on his own table.
Asher Jackson
This. Spike Lee is a race baiting piece of trash and the movie explicitly attacks white people while having plausible deniability to say "no no, we're saying they ALL were assholes even if the sole race named are whites"
Aiden Butler
(that's not racism - that's assault, or a threat thereof)
Oliver Gutierrez
If the blacks went around burning buildings down, then I don't blame the cops.
Hunter Perez
>He should give back to the community who supports him he provides a service. they aren't making charitable donations to him. why doesn't the community give back to sal?
Levi Butler
>He should give back to the community who supports him
He gave back to the community by giving them pizza.
Ethan Russell
you do know they killed Radio BEFORE the burning happened. At least watch the movie.
Lincoln Lewis
Nigger got what was coming to him for chimping out, just like you will
Carter Robinson
>They give Sal their money. He should give back to the community who supports him He gives them pizza for that money. That's the end of the transaction. He (presumably) pays taxes. That's his contribution. Fuck you for telling people what to do with their money over and above what they already do you fucking ingrate.
Jack Campbell
I'm talking in general.
Also Raheem was a menace and needed to be put down.
John Jones
Based
Joseph Roberts
except thats the fuckin point of the movie you idiot
its not just WHITE MAN BAD cause obviously the nigs nigging were supposed to be wrong too
Landon King
Spike Lee has remarked that he has only ever been asked by white viewers whether Mookie did the right thing; black viewers do not ask the question.[17] Lee believes the key point is that Mookie was angry at the death of Radio Raheem, and that viewers who question the riot's justification are implicitly failing to see the difference between property and the life of a black man.[14]
Hudson Wilson
>its not just WHITE MAN BAD
Spike Lee says that was the point.
Nicholas Parker
Remember that spike Lee was bullied by Chad guidos in Brooklyn as a kid and as an adult he made shitty race bait films to try to get back at them
Ethan Edwards
Give me literally one good reason why it’s bad that a person is racist
Like say your grandfather still says nigger or your grandma doesn’t want to be around a bunch of towelheads
Hell, your neighbor doesn’t like Chinese people
So fucking what who gives a shit that’s that persons personal fucking opinion, I don’t start a crusade to stop people that don’t like tacos, as long as they don’t let their racism affect others it’s their own fucking business
Fuck niggers and white guilt cucks
Michael Sullivan
Based Spike Lee is a seething anti white nigger
Camden Gray
Someone on twitter said that Mookie threw the trash can through the store window to redirect the mob's violence away from Sal and towards the store instead, potentially saving his life. Thoughts?
Isaac Wilson
>Give me literally one good reason why it’s bad that a person is racist People always conflate racism with violence and discrimination. I'm a terrible racist, but believe wholeheartedly in a meritocracy. The same people that rally against racism also fight tooth and nail against meritocracies because the very nature of it highlights the truth of certain racial stereotypes that they have weaponized as "ignorant" and "hateful" (or "based in hate").
Lucas Hernandez
I swear to god this is one of the most awkward promotional posters I have ever seen for a movie
Mason Cox
oh shit I thought it was a fake poster, who the fuck makes movie posters? they are all so bad usually
