BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

Thursday, March 16, 2006














In a breathtakingly cruel reversal of roles, the racist veteran cop in Paul Haggis’s flawed but riveting drama Crash, risks his life to save the life of the same black woman he had molested the previous night…
And one is left questioning the bigotry nature of stereotyping…

Anthony :Look around! You couldn't find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like gangbangers? Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody should be scared, it's us: the only two black faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people, patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So, why aren't we scared?

Peter: Because we have guns?

Anthony: You could be right.
