Do the Right Thing response

To answer the question ‘what is the right thing?’ requires the consideration of all it’s possible responses. The catch-all answer is that the right thing is different for every person and that one cannot say what the right thing is for someone else. In the case of Mookie, destroying the pizzeria [seen at times as a symbol of his own repression] was freeing himself. That was possibly the right thing for him, but outside himself it was a horrible thing to do and certainly not ‘the right thing’.In the movie, all the characters appear to exist only within the shells of their own stereotypes, but upon closer examination, it is evident that much like in real life, not all is what it first appears to be. Small things make these characters people, not stereotypes. Sal, pizza shop owner and father, explains to his hot tempered son that even though the people in the neighborhood who are different [ex- the Korean grocery owners, Mookie's friends, etc.] anger him, they are not bad people an have never given him any trouble, and have only helped his business to prosper.I assume that when the characters in the movie tell eachother to ’stay black’
