I have no problem with a movie not going RACIST BAD if it's at least contextualized it wasn't. And to the point, nothing really was.
Or are you taking this weirdly personally because you love movies that are designed to make white people feel better about racism?

Right. He reads the letter. The. Is disfigured. Then comes face to face with a man he brutally beat. I got the order of all the things that happen to him wrong. You're totally right.

And to be clear. I think the message that MM is after is well-intentioned and I get the point about the unending complexity of this. What im arguing is that he bungles it, royally.

And haha I was so waiting for you to insinuate that. I liked a movie about fucked up white people. Yes, secretly I love it because deep down I'm super racist. Definitely not because I'm not so lazy I just want to label people with bad beliefs the enemy and just move on.

No. You're not. What im saying is there's something super alluring about movies that are designed to make us feel better about it. I get caught in it too. And it's dangerous.
