Obama '08?

What makes anyone think one man is going to change an entrenched burocacy in D.C.. In order to change things we are going to have to kick out all the politicians and elect completely new ones. But that wont happen. We will keep reelecting the same crooks and cry that nothing is happening in DC.The fault lies with the uninformed electorate. We get the government we deserve.

Obama has admitted to past marijuana use (which btw is a heck of lot less harm than cocain which our president has used in the past, but hey, he is a born again christian so it is all different.) but to put a crack pipe in picture (I assume that is what the picture represents?) just plays into the stereotype of blacks and crack heads.

Haha, far from being a crack pipe, you are looking at a medium-sized water bong, suitable for the smoking of Marijuana.

You seem to be some kind of expert on blacks & crack cocaine though.

American Gangster is a big, brash and brilliant cinema tour de force. But it also reinforces a glaring stereotype, in fact, one of America's most enduring stereotypes, and that's that the drug problem and by extension drug kingpins come with a black face. There are two telling scenes in American Gangster that drive that point home with a tormenting vengeance.

I bow to your ability to recognize all types of illegal drug paraphernalia.

I take exception to revel's political correct distain for American Gangster. For decades, the Italians have hogged all the good gangster roles in Hollywood. I am so glad the brothers have broken into the market. A great movie, a great role for Denzel, and a great day for equality!!
