CJ was just country as hell and very simple…I viewed waters more so the “c00n” based on his targeting of him…as stated, some of his thoughts/ideas weren’t wrong or off-base but he was so concerned with putting forth a rigid image for white ppl that it led to an unnecessary hatred/broad painting of what he deemed “lesser” black folks…and the dude in france definitely needed an ass kicking…killing him was too far tho…very complex movie that is overdue for a rewatch on my end…last time I saw it was maybe in my early-mid 20s…I’ve changed enough since then that maybe my view(s) will be different…I could be wrong cuz as I’ve said I haven’t seen this in decades but I also recall his character skinning his teeth and having absolutely no smoke for a white officer at one point in the movie
