>Mookie's action, either to save Sal's life oras an irresponsible encouragement to enact violence
However, his actions were spoken out the day after when he said that it was all for his dead friend. Not to protect him. Spike scratched the ending where this was moreso implied in order to divide the audience. But:

>Lee believes they are implicitly failing to see the difference between property and the life of a black man
Which means that he did it even moreso out of anger.
"The white started it", yes. Before that, it was not violence per se. But, seriously, seeing how the characters in the movie were like and how it always played out, you could -not- end this with no violence. The whites had enough of their bullshit. Justifying a white man's act which started the entire riot.
It led to a brawl that ended up with police killing the boy. The black make whites responsible, moreso the Italian family that destroyed his boom box. They feel oppressed. They literally are nothing and destroy everyone around them because they blame them instead of themselves. Also why they wanted to wrack havoc on the Asian store. Do the right thing, indeed.

There was reason. It just doesn't justify it.
Also, it's fucking retarded, but what do you expect. Seems reasonable among black ghetto folk. All of it plays into the theme of "being oppressed" and "doing the right thing" the mayor had talked about. It plays fantastically into the movie.
Just that it's a fucking dumb message if you are supposed to feel good about it. If you're supposed to relate to Mookie.
