YouTube - Will 'Machete' release spark racial violence?

3 months ago multiple Hispanic members of Robert Rodriguez's film crew contacted Alex Jones and said they were very concerned about violence that could occur because of Machete's message. You guys probably already know Mexicans are taught in school to hate Americans and that the south west actually belongs to them. Machete is only going to super charge those views. Unfortunately I have a strong feeling there will indeed be racial violence because of this movie. What do you guys think?

Not anymore violence than our War on Drugs has caused.

Edit to clarify: Any increase in violence that this movie MIGHT possibly cause, will be dwarfed by the violence that the War on Drugs has caused.

Begun the race war has.

hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband

 

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

No, but maybe the release of videos saying Machete will spark racial violence might cause racial violence.



Gotta love fear mongering.

the people interested in sensationalist and action films are rarely criminals or political

When did they start teaching that in Mexican schools? When I lived down there 20 years ago, everybody loved Gringos.

She apparently has a very small part. She's an actress - what do you expect? It's called work - putting food on the table, paying rent - stuff like that...

Lohan is still hot. Not "Mean girls" hot but she's still got it.

No. I think you might have these kind of wars that some people seem to think are always coming perhaps after nuclear fallout and there are scarce resources and people revert to ethnic tribalism, but absent nuclear war, I think most people are just going to leave the movie with a thumbs-up or down, not ready to lock'n load for an ethnic war.

I think mostly everyone will just be talking about how awesome the movie was. Then someone will probably say that it wasn't "that great", and violence will ensue between those who thought it was an awesome movie, and those who were like "meh, it was okay."

You mean when she looked like this

Lmao, that trailer during the Arizona thing was mainly made to purposefully raise controversy. I highly doubt any movie will raise racial violence.

Prior to the movie 8mm, there was no real "snuf flick", after that, there was a copycat killing.

After that, there was another - but it was a photo shoot in Philly. Not a movie.

This is just gonna make illegal immigration advocates hate Minutemen even more. Great. Put a movie out that lies about a group of people.

Anybody who takes this movie seriously is an idiot. Its so over the top anybody who is "influenced" by this movie already felt that way in the first place.
