I am glad that Spike Lee called these authors out for what they said in the newspaper articles. It was not right of them at all to only bring up how Mookie broke a white person’s property and not mention how the NYPD killed a black man. Lee has a reason to be frustrated. It is crazy to think even 25 years later things have not changed and racism is still a major problem in some parts of the country.

During the movie I noticed that whenever Mookie’s child was shown in he was mostly sleeping. He never said a word in the film. I was wondering if he was just suppose to be used as a prop or if the director was trying to convey something to the viewer.
