I couldn't find the famous review by Owen Gleiberman but here are a few comments from some reviewers about the factual movie.(Far less than 2% of of Special Operations units are black, this is true for all branches of the military .
"The film has been the subject of protests in New York City; the group A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, www.internationalanswer.com) argued that it presents the war as a "race war," and Village Voice film reviewer Geoffrey Gray notes that while there were only two African-American soldiers stationed in Somalia, the starkness of white U.S. soldiers fighting against Africans plays into Ridley Scott�s racist film aesthetic (2/6/02)."
http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9903E3D61031F93BA15751C1A9679C8B63 "In ''Black Hawk Down,'' the lack of characterization converts the Somalis into a pack of snarling dark-skinned beasts, gleefully pulling the Americans from their downed aircraft and stripping them. Intended or not, it reeks of glumly staged racism. The only African-American with lines, Specialist Kurth (Gabriel Casseus), is one of the American soldiers who want to get into the middle of the action; his lines communicate his simplistic gung-ho spirit. His presence in this military action raises questions of racial imbalance that ''Black Hawk Down'' couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge, let alone answer.

So it goes without saying that everyone our soldiers shoot at and kill in Black Hawk Down is black. Them's the facts, unfortunate visual though it may be. But were ALL our soldiers really white? Now, I absolutely do NOT know the facts about this. But, knowing what today's Army does look like, it does seem very hard to believe that every single one of our soldiers (except for that one black guy I mentioned earlier) in Mogadishu was white."

Good Lord.
So...it is presented as a race war? That is their complaint? I assume the comments you posted were the reviewers, not yours.
Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.
Liberals are deluded. That is why they are so damned dangerous. If they were to pursue their utopian BS at some location in a jungle with their own money trying to achieve their own version of reality where they could all drink the poisoned kool-aid when actual reality sets in, power to them.
The problem is, they are doing this with OUR society with OUR money and with OUR lives.
It sounds like this reviewer thinks it is more like an old John Wayne movie. I don't know...I read a book a while back called "No True Heroes" about the battle for Fallujah, and there were PLENTY of first hand accounts of Marines who were just itching to get into the fight to avenge the death or injury to fellow Marines. As I recall, there was at least one time a bunch of Marines were left steaming because they were prohibited from getting out and engaging the enemy.
I don't think any of these people hang around military people much.
