Marvin Berry? or Marcus Garvey?




Welcome back! The 3D glasses thug just called Marvin Berry a racial name! Marvin isn't happy about it and calls 3D guy a 'Peckerwood'. Oh snap! This sort of thing is not cool. The segregation of 1950's America is barely mentioned in BTTF. Its hinted at once or twice, but overall I think the film makers dropped the ball on this one. One has to wonder if the cries for help coming from the trunk of the car are from Marty, or if they are pleas of equality from a torn society?

Hey! Isn't Peckerwood a funny word! I think I am going to put that one into my daily rotation of insults! "Hey! you just cut me off- Peckerwood!"
