This just made me laugh. My husband (who is white) stands 6'4 and who would be perfectly cast as the scary biker type could never be labeled as a "scaredy-cat".To base bravery on skin color in the first place is moronic.

I think Mr. Moore was probably forgetting the brave passengers of flight #93 when he made that rediculous statement.

I think you're right. Selective memory. That wouldn't have fit in well with his rant.

To base bravery on size is also misguided.

I think too that Moore is confusing the difference between bravery and bullying. Bullying is what he is thinking of when he is thinking of the stereotype of the gangbanging black, white, hispanic man who doesn't take crap(and who is the racist?). Bravery comes in all sizes, genders, and races and was best exemplified by the passengers of flight 93. Not a bully, trash talking, stereotype among them, but were they ever brave and they probably saved a lot of Americans for that bravery. I have no doubt had the other flights had some clue as to their fate and time to thwart it, they would have done the same.

I, like you, have a big guy for a hubby--6'2" and a hulk of a man. He is very quiet and sweet, but he is the bravest person I have ever known and is intimidating even though he doesn't try to be. Seen it happen before, the respect instantly given, and I chuckle since I know what a big teddy bear he is. Those hijackers were maniacs--they wouldn't have cared about Michael Moore's stereotype of a black man and would have offed him just as quick as a caucasian man standing up to them. They were crazy and sick and saw us all as Americans ie targets. Perhaps Michael Moore should get a clue--hijacker sees American, not black or white man. Hijacker wants to kill American. Hijacker will fight to his death to kill white OR black American. They, unlike this baffoon, do not discriminate.
