Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
Counter Racism?
I'm wondering what other's opinions on this is.
It kind of seems a bit racist that most of the Caucasians are depicted as racists and idiots watching cartoons while the black people are all very intelligent and interesting. I know there are countless films that are the opposite though, I wonder if the movie was meant to be an insult to Caucasians in general as a "come back" to all the racist movies against black people. The movie reminded me of Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing."
I mean there are a lot of ignorant and stupid people of all races and maybe this was just a bit of counter-racism to the races who have offended other races in the near past. And lifting up your race is not a bad thing either, I just wonder how far you can take that without being racist yourself.
