Count me in the "Do the Right Thing is racist group". I despise the message I see coming out of this film. It may indeed spark conversation, but I think a book club reading Mein Kampf would spark conversation. That doesn't mean that Mein Kampf isn't racist. And, no, I'm not suggesting that Spike Lee = Adolph Hitler, just that both of them have racist creations. Did I mention how much I despise Do the Right Thing?
