I was watching American Gangster the other night on TNT.  Great movie that I can watch over and over.  Denzel is awesome.  As would be expected on TNT, the movie was heavily edited.  Foul language and racial epithets were removed, well most of them.  In one scene near the end of the movie, the character played by Russell Crowe is in a confrontation with his superior.  His superior uses an African-American racial epithet to refer to Frank Lucas, played by Denzel Washington.  It was of course replaced with something suitable for network television.   However, when the same character uses an anti-Semitic slur, calling Crowe’s character(who is Jewish) a “Kike” it is left in unchanged.  I never noticed that before despite having seen the edited version of the movie numerous times.  I don’t know why I did this time.  I am not accusing TNT of anything.  I have no idea who edited the movie and why they decided to leave that particular slur in as compared to all the others they removed.  Just an observation…
