Movie was ahead of it's time


With all the controversy over police shooting black men these days, it seems very appropriate.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

White cops have been shooting and framing black men for decades, son.

I am not your son, moron. Cops have been shooting people, not just black people. And people have been shooting cops.

Way ahead of its time - since, you know, 1997 was before Reconstruction, Segregation and the Civil Rights movement. Until this movie came out, no innocent black people were ever depicted as being killed by governmental authorities in cinematic history. Yeah, that's it.

Let's see who takes the bait.

You are too stupid to get it. Sure you can overgeneralize all you want. You can go back to the entire history of mankind to find examples of One race killing another. Obviously that wasn't the point. If you want to deny that in the past year or so the black lives matter and blue lives matter campaigns have been in the news every day go ahead and bury yourhead in the sand. Moron.
