I believe the script of Do the Right Thing doesn't provide a point about doing the "right" thing. Many examples in the script are of individuals doing the wrong thing.

However, my definition of the right thing is far different compared to someone else.

According to the script the "right" thing to do is to stand up for yourself and your family. Family meaning not only biological relatives but your race in general.
