Who would have thought that life in Virginia in 1971 would look just like leftist California of the year 2000?
Oh wait, just more leftist propaganda pushed in movies.

Absolutely. Blacks in the movie are portrayed as level headed and harmless while whites are portrayed as barbaric and openly racist. Any slights against whites in the movie are considered necessary and even for the better good, while slights against blacks are considered evil and racist. Did they even say why the business owner shot the black guy in the beginning of the movie? I don't recall but I don't think they specified. They probably knew it would be too outlandish even for lefty hollywood to have a cold blooded racist killing on their hands but they wouldn't dare show the black guy stealing or robbing the place because again, blacks have to be portrayed as moral and innocent in this film for it to work despite everyone knowing better.
shareAgree with all of that. In the movie, a white kid is gay, a white kid calls himself "white trash" and not smart enough to get into college, the white kids don't know how to talk trash, the white kids can't dance and country music is considered "cruel and unusual punishment". The entire movie is a knock on white people and how them changing makes everything better. Like you're saying the black kids are portrayed as mischievous, but not "bad" like many of the white kids.
The ultimate tone of the movie is that white people need to change. Leftist propaganda. They won't do anything to insinuate maybe it's black people doing things wrong and they need to change.
A guy kissed another guy in the locker room, in 1971, in Virginia.... and moments later they all acted like it was no big deal. The whites and the blacks would have taken turns kicking the s*** out of that kid in real life. Of course this movie is blatant leftist propaganda. The white captain turns on his own mother, girlfriend and best friend. It's literal programming meant to destabilize white people. Black people in real life are SUPER racist. We don't get film after film after film painting them as the bad guys that need to stop being racist.
shareSpeaking of the white captain, his life sure turned out great in this movie. From a black man publicly humiliating him making him call him "daddy", to a gay kid forcing a kiss on him, to losing his girlfriend and other friends, turning on his family and friends, to then get in a car accident and die.
shareThe one exception is Julius, he is the one flawed black character, the fact that he and Bertier call each other on shit and they both grow from it is probably the best dynamic in the movie, and it’s because those character were handled evenly.
>and it’s because those character were handled evenly.
Julius did not lose a girlfriend or his friends, Julius did not get sexually assaulted by a gay dude, Julius didn't have a white man force him to call him "daddy" in public... and more..... You can't be serious.
