Lets keep it 100: The niggas was the wrong ones on Do The Right Thing

[Da Roc]

Yoo... I just watched this movie 2 saturdays ago. I was pissed at that ignorance at the end. How are you going to walk into another person's business, demanding shit, and causing a disturbance? I was mad at Mookie (or Spike) when he participated in trashing the restaurant, and making the blacks look like low-level hoodlums. That's how Spike felt he was doing the right thing?! How could anyone sympathize with a group of people continously made to look violent?

I almost closed the movie file, but decided to wait till the end. That's when I saw the Malcolm X or MLK quote, and then I thought I understood what the message was. But for Spike to be acting in the movie, and doing what he did, was a major WTF.

Mookie started the riot so everybody wouldn't turn on Sal and his boys and kill them, because right after they took Radio away, everybody blamed Sal for Radio's death, and they were getting ready to mob him.

Even though Mookie was pissed at Radio's death and probably wanted Sal to suffer, he did the "right" thing by turning the heat from Sal to his restaurant. He actually saved their lives. If he had spoke up for Sal's defense, the crowd probably would've turned on him too.

ok, i could see that...

 

[bgoat]

Fuck Tha Holice!!

 

[zay_24]

Lets see...

Sal offers good ass pizza at a cheap price. Radio Raheem and Buggin Out come in making a disturbance. Blaccs wrong

Sal tells Raheem to turn down the Radio. Raheem Refuses. Blaccs wrong

Sal breaks the radio after warning Raheem not once, but twice to turn it down. Raheem almost chokes Sal to death. Blaccs wrong again.

You see what I'm saying? Sal didn't start the shit so why should he thank mookie for "saving his life" lmao, nigga didn't do anything wrong.

He has a small pizza shop in a predominantly black neighborhood. He ain't got no choice but to sell it cheap, lol. Ain't nobody breaking wallets like that for some local pizzeria.

Sal didn't have to break dude's radio either, and he called him "nigger". That's what set it all off to begin with. He should've known shit was bout to go down instantly. Should've just called the cops and left it at that.

Raheem and them was wrong for coming at Sal the way they did. No dispute. But it wasn't bout the pictures on the wall so much as just wanting respect. Sal was cool, but he did have a condescending "you ain't shit compared to me" attitude to Buggin Out and Radio earlier. Now if they was white, then what?

Mookie wasn't expecting a thank you from Sal. Just his money. Sal and his boys would've been strung up from some streetlights if Mookie didn't do what he did.

 

[zay_24]

It wouldn't be a reason for mookie to "do what he did" if Radio Raheem and buggin out didnt act like fuccin animals.

 

[Da Roc]

"Animals"? explain.

 

[cigs&tofu]

All that shit would've been avoided if them mufuckas had an AC. It was hot as shit that day and when you're hot the smallest shit will set u off

 

[WhoisDonG???]

Bro Interlopers been in the Hood since I can remember. And guess what hate to say it but they have cheaper prices on there goods and services then some black own businesses in the same neighborhood. The reason these interlopers come in.and take over because we show no unity or support to our own or just plain hate to see the next man prosper.

 

[Wild Self]

This just proves that Spike is the GOAT black director of social commentary. But yeah, the niggas were overly emotional and really caused that incident where the pizzeria got burned down and Radio Raheem got killed.

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

Am I the only one that found this movie to be overated? I didn't find it entertaining at all.
