Discussion of the theme of "right" in Do the Right Thing, with particular focus on the neighborhood complexities of race, color, nation, and age. Beginning with a brief bit about the aesthetic innovations of the film - putting Black bodies on the screen - in relation to School Daze and She's Gotta Have It, I spend most of the piece exploring the relation between love, hate, and the notion of rightness. How do we measure rightness in the ambivalent, undecidable space of love mixed with hate, hate mixed with love? A response, perhaps an answer of sorts, lies in Mother Sister's two utterances in the penultimate scene, the climax of the film: stop stop and burn it all down.
