Hollywood at it again?

Falsehoods in the Denzel Washington movie "the hurricane"...

Falsehood : Hurricane carter was framed.

Truth : His anti social persona and his uncanny timing in being with another black male, inside a white car, and being seen leaving a bar after gunshots were heard, and being the only one to leave, points to him.

Falsehood : Joey Giardello was unfairly given a higher score by the judges.

Truth : Joey Giardello won the fight, clearly.

But here is some truth in the movie that was also true in real life.

He was not given a fair trial, the jury was not of his peers, and he was convicted twice by such an unfair jury.

That doesn't make him innocent, that means he got a trial that he was not going to stand a chance in, no matter what.

He did spend most of his life in the prison system.

He was a boxer during a time that white people were actually cheated out of skill, by our own system designed to put us at the top of a bigoted social hierarchy, and not necessarily to give us the skills we need when we want to do things.

He taught himself to box while in prison.

He was set free, despite that being wrongly.
