The film showed Marine recruiters trolling in a poor black shopping mall. It showed black kids talking about the opportunities of enlistment. There is nothing misleading about that. By the army's own statistics, minorities comprise 30 percent of enlistments. That is the point F/911 makes about blacks. Its larger point -- demonstrated by Lila -- is that POOR people (irregardless of race) do the fighting and the dying. That is why Moore headed to DC to recruit the sons and daughters of the nation's lawmakers. NOWHERE does the film say or suggest that blacks carry the burden of fighting. Nor did I say that anywhere.
