I had a class where we had to watch this movie and do a report on it.

Nay. I don't think he was obligated too, it was his store and he put people up who were inspirational to him.

Nah no obligation but it would be a nice gesture to the people supporting your business/ livelihood.

Sals son was a typical insecure, fragile piece of shyt.

Spike lee da gawd :wow:
My answer exactly. It was HIS restaurant and people that he PERSONALLY admired. BUT with that said, black people were the ones mainly supporting the establishment.

On the other hand, it was kinda telling that there was only 1 person in all the years that the business had been open that had the consciousness to even notice the pics in the 1st place and see something wrong with it.
Its very accurate to how "consciously dead" we really are. (We seem to be waking up lately). We blindly hand over our $ to ppl who set up shop in our areas and we get nothing in return

No, but it's the right thing to do
Sal should've done the ...:ohhh:...right thing.

terrible cause

no.......spike is a idiot, he played the race angle wrong in the movie....

Nah, I don't think it was a terrible cause. Tbh Sal was a terrible businessman. :heh:

Any businessman with some sense would've just put some African Americans on the wall to make the customers feel welcome. That's why Walmart, McDonalds, and other big companies put images of African Americans in their store and ads, and they're not even as reliant on African American business like Sal.

He couldn't have just put one or two of the Knicks up there?:shaq2:

I was thinking the same thing about Chinese Restaurants, but they don't put anybody on their walls. I don't think Sal HAD to, but it would've been a good move considering his situation.

They put paintings or hang shyt,I go to mexican restaurants and I might see paintings or pictures or or shyt hanging from them,but it's like,as an owner you opening your own little restaurant,you bout to decorate it to fit your image of what you dreamed your restaurant would look like,not based on your clientele
