Let me requote and capitalize for emphasis "I don't quite see a solution to the problem I'm pointing out, AS LONG AS WHITE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE."

What part of that statement is NOT implying that the negative response to the film is based on racism? If I'm misreading that quote, please illuminate me.

And here's another one just for fun:

>"That was too offbeat for me"

What part of that quote isn't implying that the reception of Spike's films is based on white people's inherent racism? Again, if I've misread, please illuminate me.

And I'm glad to know that while you're eager to pounce on other posters in this thread for ignoring all your arguments, you feel perfectly justified in dismissing my entire post because of the tacked on, two line conclusion. I'm not arguing with your rep on OKP, I'm arguing with the post you made in regards to She Hate Me.
