Radio Rahim, Smile lee and Pino come to pizzeria and then yelling at sal asserting to put pictures of black people on his wall because all pictures on the wall are whites.

The scene in 26:45 seconds, black people cause a trouble with water on the street. They splash water to white guy’s car deliberately, so angry white guy asks police to catch blacks.

This film just suggests that black hatred against society and then their violence. Asian, Italian, black and white implies confrontation to each races in the black neighborhood. Sprike Lee’s film does not denote unifying just showing social conflicts among races. Especially, this film emphasizes for people to stereotype of black people negatively. It shows black people’s rudeness and poverty, which is biased point of view for black people. It does not contain the power to change ones political sensibilities at all and just impose stereotypes.
