Unlucky few? Black Dragon you must be either young or confused my friend. When they show a NYC Homoside cop being murdered and then they show that he is been murdered by immigrants from Russian and Czechoslovakia and then those two criminals submit a tape of the murder to a Media Show on TV and they show it (All that in the movie of course) what kind of impression of Russians and Czech people are they giving? I mean trust me there are a LOT of stupid people out there that would by viewing such a movie, not even talk or think badly of both of those races.
And in Swordfish, wow they show some real twisted stuff, and 50% of that actually happens. And of course the lable is USA USA USA, so a lot of people will have bad impressions. Espesially teens may I point out. In New York every African American person that I've yet to see listen to Rap and is "Gangsta", but the funny thing is just about everyone one of them is an act so to speak...
I'll tell you of a true situation of mine... Nepture Ave, Crossing Coney Island... 12:30 AM, Brooklyn NY... I finished my job late at the restaraunt, I walk down a dark ally going to the nearest train station... Then an African American person, I think he was a teen around 19 years old perhaps runs up to me from behind, I'm not sure where he came from but I think from a corner of a building or something, and he puts a gun to my head, so I of course, so I start crying, saying I have a sick mother at home, and I'm hurt and poor and just finished job late please please let me go, basically acting heh, then I quickly get my right hand and grab his while with my left give him a light blow in the stomach, the gun drops, the guy seemed like he is frozen or he couldnt believe what just happend, so I pick up the fallen gun, and point it at him, he starts crying. I said "Who is the gansta now huh?" He breaks down in tears... Man then I notice one very interesting thing, the gun is a Metal BB Gun in model of a Desert Eagle, and its not even loaded... So I throw the gun to him, he takes it fast and runs away, I guess till crying. Since that day a lot of things that I've viewed in a certain way have changed... So go figure... if Rap makes some people go and try and rob someone with a fake gun, then it turns out that those "some people" are little coward with no brain well... I got nothing more to say.
