Here's another point I believe you are missing ... the director experienced racism eminating from HIMSELF. He experienced a carjacking, which was the gestation point of creating the film. If he himself experienced racism in his heart and soul, he has plenty of knowledge with which to create a film.


The film has polarized the critical community as well as many audience humans. Love it, hate it. Both going on. As one who loves it, I can disagree with - but understand - some of the criticism lobbed at the film. I would hope that those in the hate-it camp - seeing how the film is lauded by many as one of the year's very best - can acknowledge that they can't be completely "right" about the film having no merit.
