Just another day in the Bronx.Paul Newman starred in a movie in 1980 about the Bronx--I don't remember the storyline though--just daily crime?

Mex perps being chased by black cops.It's a comedy,right?A Buster Keaton silent film.

That movie is actually on YouTube,I was watching it today.Violent beginning--true to life.

The problem is with that particular video,the downloader edited out some of the original music and replaced it with rap crap.I'll give a review later.

I always check the neighborhood for those shooting stories, then I'm like, oh yeah, black area. to be expected. YAWN. Unfortunately, I did live in the Bronx, which is where my education about black Americans began. Even the black Africans hated the noise and nonsense in the neighborhood. They were completely out of control and dangerous.
"Even the black Africans hated the noise and nonsense in the neighborhood. They were completely out of control and dangerous."
100 % so. Black Africans [not the pretend negroes of the USA] especially hate the habits and attitude of the American negro and hope and pray their own children don't adopt the customs of the natives.
FORT APACHE--THE BRONX(1981)Review by GRA
I never saw this movie before.
Paul Newman was--and is still--my favorite actor(okay,a tie with Nicholson).He was great in both "Cool Hand Luke","Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" for starters.He won an Oscar for "The Verdict",but I believe he was better in this particular movie than that excellent one.
"Fort Apache" was released in 1981 and Newman's physical appearance hadn't changed much in the 12 years since "Butch Cassidy" and many of the characteristics of those two roles I mentioned,were very visible here.He got in a lengthy fight with Danny Aiello,similar to the George Kennedy fight in "Cool Hand".His demeanor is humorous in "Bronx"--as in those two films--some laugh out loud responses,by me,to a few of his lines. In my opinion,a classic Paul Newman movie.
Supporting actors Ken Wahl,Ed Asner,Rachel Ticotin,Pam Grier and the gorgeous Kathleen Beller contributed mightily to this cop story detailing the daily war--back in the late 70s--that White cops had with the minorities in NYC--all of it depicted realistically.Of course,it's 100 times worse now.Asner particularly stood out,maybe his best role after Lou Grant.Wahl was excellent too.
The philosophical question at the heart of the matter in this movie is Asner's cop--who represents "White law" and Newman,who,while not an advocate for "black law",believes that minorities shouldn't be treated harshly(tear gas,an occasional billy club etc.)He's wrong,but with so many potential cop killers out there,needing only a minor excuse to kill a cop,one can understand Newman's reluctance to pick fights with every thug,in every situation.
That was then.
Today,the question is:Do NYC cops think arresting blacks,is treating them too harshly?And if they do believe that(especially minority cops),what's the point of having a police force?
I give the movie ☆☆☆☆☆(very entertaining)
And the nig-o-meter is ●●● (three ink spots--no major black characters,many minor ones throughout.)
It's on YouTube for free.

"'Newman, who, while not an advocate for 'black law', believes that minorities shouldn't be treated harshly'"
Paul was always a noted peacenik and super-liberal.
