Even though I ' m not the biggest fan of this movie , the musical genre is one of my favorites . And this number is one of the best executed sequences in any movie musical ever . It ' s so well done and fun to watch <| sep |> You also don ' t see blacks committing 50 % of the crime in the US . The reason the stats are distorted is that surprise surprise police presence is higher in black communities . Do you think the heroin epidemic in the white community happened over night ? No it happened because police were busy in black and latino neighborhoods locking people up for what are often petty crimes . When blacks were being stopped and frisked in NY there were plenty of white kids doing and dealing drugs as well as carrying weapons . I remember a black teacher gave an interview to a reporter about how appalled she was that when the prep school she worked at did locker sweeps and found drugs , the police were not contacted .
