Comparing Chicago to IRaq is absurd


First of all Chicago isn't Detroit or Baltimore, or somebody would have made something like the wire about the town.. and even if it was Baltimore the levels of violence and pure terror don't even come close to what is happening in the middle east,
Spike lee is a little to full of himself, god bless Samuel for coming to Tarantino side on the arguments of words and censorship,
Chicago doesn't have Iraqi national guard and American peace keepers running around ending the life of deserving extremist/racists/ and terrorist,
Also Stop saying the word cracker, especially if you get riled up by racial slurs towards yourself , that is extreme hypocrisy.
Maybe if they had set this in a dystopian future it would have made for a better title, one that doesn't self aggrandize the real situation in America
alternative titles that don't minimize the work that is being done to bring peace to the middle east, while over-exaggerating the power of American gangs
"Lysistrata by Aristophanes"
"Lysistrata 2035"
"Lysistrata in Chicago"
"Spike Lee's Lysistrata"
The major difference between people isn't their physical body, it is their cultural differences, isolated by perpetual Xenophobia,

GPS has fooled people into thinking they are natives to a new city

I know you didn't mention GPS, I was just making a point.

The strangest thing about the comparison is that they compared all the killed in Chicago to only the killed "police" forces in Iraq.
