Well......because it's entertainment and it was true to the time period and mafia lifetstyle in general.




You think they should retroactively remove that line from the movie?


By "just noticed" did you actually mean "I just saw the Godfather for the first time"?

Yes the line was necessary, this is how white people are able to brutalize Black people with little regard. if you dehumanize a group of people you can sell them poison and harm them without a guilty conscience.
