- Sorry. I should have been clearer. In "Do the Right Thing", an Italian
- store owner calls the police because a black youth is disrupting his
- business with loud music. The police come and beat the youth so severely
- that he dies. The angry blacks in the neighborhood riot, led by Mookie
- (Spike Lee), who throws a garbage can through the window. The next day,
- Mookie comes by the destroyed restaurant and asks the store owner for
- his wages. The store owner gives him his wages. That's the right thing
- that Spike Lee advocates.

- Yes, I saw the obligatory smiley, and no, this still isn't funny. The
- only thing I hate more than racism is hypocritical racism. I hate black
- people who say that there are no black racists. I hate white people who
- make racist statements about blacks in return, out of some twisted idea
- of "equal opportunity". It's all bullshit, and I find fault with anyone
- who can't see that, black or white.
