Why did the ending feel so weird? So does He go back to being a racist? also what exactly did the black guy do for him in prison? is it about how ironic it was that it was his own people that only did him bad in prison and everyone else showed him kindness as he did to his black firend?

The black guy protected him from retribution by THE BROTHAS. As to what the ending truly is, that's up to you to decide. iirc the original ending had him shave his head again, but that just might be a bullshit rumour.

>black guy is nice to you in prison
>black teacher helps you
>so just focus on those two and ignore the fact that black people and mexicans destroyed your whole neighborhood
Hudson Howard
when I was young and naive I watched this film and thought, "wow, hate and violence only beget hate and violence". But then I got older and noticed how awful blacks can be, even when you try to be nice to them. It's always whitey's fault, no matter what.

We need a director's cut

>that's up to you to decide.
lol no. Do you really think the movie was about justifying racism? Moron.
Mason Lewis
do you think that footage would exist at this point, even if it had been made? Genuine question for a movie this old. Do directors typically hold on to that stuff?
Jonathan Russell
Of course the movie isn't justifying racism. But the point is supposed to be that people hate each other because they treat each other badly and hold grudges. I'm pretty sure it's telling everyone of all races to forgive and forget, otherwise the fighting will never end. Which is a great message but when you're dealing with low IQ people it's pretty much a pipe dream.
Grayson Hughes
The whole film is basically "No matter what you believe or like, reality will eventually show you something you don't like because reality is neither your friend nor an enemy"
Lucas Cooper
The moral of the story is that hispanic gangs can ruin your neighborhood, Asians can take over your businesses, and blacks can murder your firefighter father, but you're the bad guy if you become "racist" because of it all.
