That's ok. The movie Menace to Society made me hate black kids. Or not. Maybe I can just be aware that there are different types of people regardless of race.
I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.

just highlights the delusional mindset and entitled privilege mentality that I hate about white people
So is there a good excuse for non whites to commit crimes?

The film isn't at all supportive of their behaviour; I'm stunned that this is how you interpreted it.
It's clearly supposed to be very tragic what happened to Grainey; he's made very sympathetic, especially at the end.
On the other hand, the kids are portrayed badly. Ethan in particular is portrayed in a very negative, sadistic light and it's heavily implied that he's something of a sociopath.
Even going by the comments on this board you can see the general reaction to the kids getting off is one of anger and disgust. The gasp in the court room and reaction of the crowd is supposed to mimic the film's audience, whom the film makers will respond in like manner. The film, like
Eden Lake
, is designed to make you angry with society and our culture.
I don't see anyone- in the film or in real life- saying that they were right to get off free because they were white. Even in the film, the only people who praise them for being intelligent are the kids themselves; no adult is patting them on the back. In fact, the only time you see the kids with the adults is when they're getting told off for being irresponsible. It's clear that the kids often frustrate their parents.
I agree there'd be a lot of hate if the kids in this were black, and no doubt a lot of racist slurs. However, despite the kids being white you can clearly see a lot of people are really angry about the ending and that they got away, so your complaint is meaningless.
As a black person, I find it really irritating when people like yourself throw around the term 'racism' at any stupid thing or situation, when an ounce of critical thinking would make it clear that's not the case. All it does is annoy people and get them defensive so when real, actual racist crimes are committed against black people, society as a whole doesn't care because the term has been so watered down and used so often in a useless manner.

I am white and I hated those kids. They deserved to die.

Hey, Desiredemailgirl Quit being racist.

It's a good thing this was just a movie. You act like these were real people.

I am supposed watch this movie and think they are revolutionary geniuses because they are petty criminals?
I don't know how somebody can watch the movie and think that's the intended takeaway message.
The audience in the end is supposed to be upset about what was done and to share the frustration of the judge that it wasn't possible to have a more appropriate sentence given the magnitude of the crime (though as noted in another post here, there's a script problem in that the kid bringing a gun into the home probably would have made the crime a felony).

Nothing to with them being white, I wanted to punch them in the face as soon as they started doing what they were doing

Negative. It is because of people like you that the orange man is a thing at all. Congrats for ruining the rest of this godforsaken country.
No, I don't post here often and I don't do social media. But I read all the threads. All the threads

You are a racist idiot and it is because of people like you Trump won.
The plan is you drink a nice tall glass of shut the beep up.

These are the types of whites who voted for Trump too.
keep telling yourself and your moronic friends that. And Trump will be reelected in 4 years.

"So why the hell stay here if it sucks so much? Why not move to a predominantly black country and be treated with respect?"
"Lastly, I would love to move to Italy. If I had the money and the time I would go."
You just answered your own question.
Perhaps most black people enjoy it here for the most part and hope that this country keeps changing for the better for them. Should they not keep trying to change it for the better?
I am Italian too and I agree that Italians and Irish also had periods of times when we were treated as subhuman pieces of beep I think the difference is that we can blend in with "other" white people and blacks can't.

I feel like America backfired. I am Italian when we first came here, as a people, we were hated. Then we opened some great pizza joints and restaurants and people warmed up to us.
Then there were the Irish that were considered trashy potato pickers but they like booze and great bars arrived.
Etc
YES, the black people had it the worst because of Slavery and Segregation. That is a definite and the southern white people can only blame themselves. It is appalling.
So why the hell stay here if it sucks so much? Why not move to a predominantly black country and be treated with respect? What is so damn great about coming here? First off it's not even that nice to look at. The history is too young. The architecture is minuscule. You have to search for beauty. I love NYC and San Francisco etc but there isn't enough of it. It's too expensive. Mountains here and there that are nice but again no enough.
Lastly, I would love to move to Italy. If I had the money and the time I would go. I certainly wouldn't stay here if I was treated poorly.
Why stay? It's not like the 1800's where it wasn't easy to hop on a plane and move.

if i recall OJ simpson got away with murder or accessory to murder and he's not white. Kobe Bryant got away with rape and last time i checked, he's not white either. White privilege is a myth, an urban legend. Now rich privilege, that does exist. if you are rich you can get away with anything.
Well, that's 2. Can you keep going? There are some black people who get off, but white privilege has been going on since the inception of America. It seriously exist. But I do believe rich privilege is far more of an issue than white privilege. IMO, this movie was rich privilege.

this is how I see this whole privilege thing.. Its rich privilege not white privilege.. but also at the same I do understand it I mean black people are treated differently than white people in a lot of situations. I've seen it myself. Like I grew up in a big diverse city and had friends of all races and I've seen stuff for instance like shop owners following around my black friends in stores but when i was in the store alone they wouldn't follow me around. And none of my friends were ghetto thug looking dudes or anything.

its not white privilege but rich privilege. if i recall OJ simpson got away with murder or accessory to murder and he's not white. Kobe Bryant got away with rape and last time i checked, he's not white either. White privilege is a myth, an urban legend. Now rich privilege, that does exist. if you are rich you can get away with anything.
just because someone is white doesn't mean they will get away with everything. There's white trash and i doubt they get away with anything, you know the type that have tats all the way down their arms and wearing wife beater t-shirts drinking a miller high life 32 or 40 ounce or whatever it is, that kind of ilk. i forgot they also have shaved heads and barely enough education to even read the warning label on the 5 packs of ciggys they smoke each day, if they can even read. they also probably make crystal meth too.
These are the types of whites who voted for Trump too.

I agree, if this were real life they would still get off light. Remember Sean's dad was rich. White privilege.

You are a genuine retard.
