White Girl
It's one of those flicks that you're either going to love or hate.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I'd love to discuss one particular scene with anyone who has seen it. Was it a crime, or was it part of the game that the white girl was willingly playing?
If you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about.

So Zip, if you did watch White Girl. My original question...
Was it a crime, or a part of the game she was willingly playing? I go wth the latter, which forces me to challenge my own beliefs. In any and every other situation she would be a victim.
She's an amazing actress, and she played a contemptible character.

That was no actress that was MARLON WAYANS DUDE!!! That's why it's so funny and amazing. (I think it was Marlon. It might have been another wayan.)

Both. She was an addict and
Both. She was an addict and she was alone with no real friends. She did what she had to do for her next hit.
Addiction makes you do things you wouldn't do otherwise. So yeah, she willingly played the game to stay high. I also
think she was too young and ignorant to know what would happen in the end. He was the criminal but they both broke the law.
I think her boss took the money btw.

The whole theme was white privilege. It was all a game to her, and she said and did what she wanted to get what she wanted. Oops, she had a few lumps along the way.
Remember in the beginning, she said something like, "It always works out for me." When the money was gone, her boss said, "It'll work out for you." (I don't think he took it - he was loaded anyway)
At the end of the day, she ruined lives, caused death and jail, and where was she? Back in class.
White privilege.
It really is a great movie.

She did try to say something
She did try to say something but she was scared and ashamed. As I say though I don't think she was smart enough
to know what either man was capable of. She should have known. It was obvious to anyone paying attention.
Her attention was lost in a haze of coke and lust. Because she was an addict it's hard for me to
say she was guilty.

I didn't see any privilege
I didn't see any privilege but I also don't buy into this whole race war propaganda. It's a class war based on money,
not skin color. If you are poor it doesn't matter what race you are, the cops will still beat you. I think minorities
use race as an excuse. Dress poor and be treated poor. The biggest privilege she had was her vagina.

I'm not convinced that she
I'm not convinced that she was an addict.
The title alone, "White Girl," is the big clue about the theme.
Remember when the lawyer said that a white kid who stabs someone wil get less time than a brown kid with a small quantity of drugs? Or when the undercover cop asked what she was doing there, but didn't try to bust her when she came back around? It always works out for the white girl.
I love movies like this because there are no answers, and I think about them for days afterwards.

I saw the movie completely
I saw the movie completely differently. Race is an excuse. She was obviously an addict and got caught up in her addiction.
You read too much into the race baiting. Maybe that was your white guilt or the fact that you've always had a place
to wash your ass. To me the movie had nothing to do with skin pigment or privilege.
It was a sobering warning and a glimpse into a life of crime.
btw I recognized the corrections officer in the Manhattan Detention Center for the first visitation scene. He was
a real CO that usually works in booking. I've been to that city jail on White Street a couple of times. That shit was real.

I read an interview with the woman who wrote it. It's semi-autobiographical, and about white privilege. You may not agree with that as a whole, but it was her intent in writing it.
No need to get personal.

Suck it up, mustard boy. You got personal with me not even 48 hours ago. Race baiting may have been her goal but she failed
to get that bias across to me. The movie reminded me of why I took my last line of yay in 2005.

I call you BK because we used to joke about masturbating with Burger King mustard packets for lube. Probably ten years ago.
You were the one who suggested using BK brand mustard. Nick was involved.
