"I think you're missing the point. It isn't that the villans are black, it's that the staging of the imagery used to tell the story is obviously meant to resonate with a certain racial mindset, if not trigger that mindset in the first place. For example, the scene where Juma is using the presidents daughter to get the president to come out of the safe room; the image of two black hands holding a knife against the horrorfied face of a young white girl, while a sinister voice threatens to "cut out her eyes, one by one". Do you really believe that's not meant to push certain racial buttons?'
This is the comment I cited as example of excellent writing and insights. Not Savojah's. I don't know how that got changed around.
