I didn’t know they had an issue with it but I was very small when that came out. Denzel in Training Day was good. Granted I didn’t like seeing him as the villain but he was good.
I think my first exposure to the criticism was with Roger Ebert's review, in how he made a complete detour into how some super-aryan just decapitated a black man, then rambled on about nazis.
I guess you can see racism in everything if you choose to. I remember enjoying the movie and it’s not like Jones was forced to play the role. Seemed like he enjoyed it

The man is in a league of his own.
I think that was the second movie, which in hindsight they likely made that decision to vindicate the first movie.
