Choose one specific scene from the film Bulworth and discuss how that scene represents the White Patriarchal Capital System. Be specific in your answer!
Answer preview
The scene shows how African Americans are vulnerable to oppression from the White people just because of their race. White patriarchal capital systems create inequality between White Americans and minority groups (Agozino, 2018), which is revealed in the scene. It is because there is no reason for a white police officer to molest someone out of racial prejudices. Also, the scene shows the white police officer stopping to molest the African American boy only after the senator Bulworth, who is a White American, comes to rescue the boy. As a result, it is clear that White people have power over dominated cultures because they are the ones who can start or stop the assault against minority groups. Moreover, the scene reveals that the white patriarchal capital system comes from the structure of the government, which allocates more White Americans as officials in public offices, thus lacking the balance between the cultures.
