Quote:Rapman, real name Andrew Onwubolu, said there was "no connection" between the Birmingham brawl and his movie.

"And then you start thinking, is there hidden reasons there? What's the owner like? Has he got an issue with young urban youth? Is he prejudiced? Does he believe that this film brings a certain type? Is there a colour thing?

"You start thinking of all these things, and it was an upsetting time."

A spokesperson for Vue said the decision to pull Blue Story from its 91 cinemas nationwide was "categorically not" related to race.

No, Andrew, the film wasn't pulled because it features dark skinned people. 25 incidents. 16 cinemas. Machetes. 7 injured police officers. But no - it's institutional racism! White supremacists white supremacists!!!
