Black Hawk Rising

The Somali Justice Advocate Center is calling on moviegoers to “boycott” Ridley Scott’s “racist” Black Hawk Down, FOXNews reports. I’d like to make a counter suggestion. What’s say, in lieu of an actual boycott, we each go see the film instead — immediately! twice! — as all free and interested people who wish to hold an opinion on it should do. Only then can we decide whether or not there’s something “racist” about the movie, and only then can we decide to boycott it on the basis of its “racist” representations… (wow! it’s like…the chicken and the egg! Kinda?)

Is the movie “racist”? I suspect not. But I reserve the right to make an informed judgment — the wishes of the Somali Justice Advocate Center and the folks at Entertainment Weekly notwithstanding…

    I saw the movie last night; I must say, the dearth of blond-haired, blue-eyed Somali bandits was striking.

    I complained to management, and received a refund for my ticket.  Perhaps there’s something to the “racism” thing afterall?
