closet-keys:stream:Men in Black (1997) dir. Barry SonnenfeldI use this scene to explain implicit bias to people. his first instinct is to assume the aliens are violent and the girl is innocent, but instead of acting on those assumptions he takes time to recognize his bias, look at the situation again, and then act. I’d just like to point out something unimportant and amusing: Will Smith was a black cop in this movie pre-MIB, and he shot the supposed White Girl in this simulation. For once the roles were reversed, and if social media existed in 1997, you can bet a lot of White morons would be throwing effing tantrums on Facebook and Twitter over this one scene.Can someone with connections to Will Smith get him to re-record his wording for this to removes the profanity and so teachers can show this to elementary students? Just replace “ass” with “rear end” or “butt,” and replace “shit” with “stuff” because people think “crap” is a swear word for some asinine reason. -- source link
