A Shining Example of Hollywood's Arrogance

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2000)

What a bunch of self-righteous, self-serving, pretentious psychobabble! I am not sure where to begin attacking this film for the farce it is, but I guess I should start by saying that this has very little if anything to do with white pride or racialism, in this country or elsewhere. Believe me I've seen a load of unbelievable farces in my time, but they all seemed entertaining somehow, except this, I don't know perhaps it's my experience with the real-life racialist movement here.
I really did like the way, that Derek got three years for blasting away a couple of thugs who were threatening his life by breaking into his home, and when he's released it tries to make you feel guilty when the cool, righteous, and enlightened negro isn't getting out anytime soon, since he committed crimes that obviously weren't in the name of self-defense.
Also, I'm surprised that Derek's incarceration in the joint, led to his ultimate rehabilitation as a racist. In reality, it probably would've affirmed his previous views tenfold.
Another thing I liked was the attack on the family. The writers portray Derek's father, for instance, as some workaholic, redneck cop w/ a Marlon Brando attitude towards blacks and the system. The emotion of this scene, is almost enough, to make one feel ashamed for harboring a rational, sound opinion or belief on a critical issue such as that. It's revolting.
There are probably a few points I could rag on, but one thing that really caught my eye, which I found disturbing were the others' reviews. Almost no one here spoted the political agenda of this film, as another propaganda film, against White America, and that's truly shocking. When will people wake up around here, and smell the coffee?
This review may not be too popular, but I could care less, after all, opinions are only opinions.
