Either agree with the afro-American, or you are a white POS


I'm angry about this movie because it makes blacks the hero while slaying whites at an alarming rate: (See Good Times, Sanford and Son, etc.). It felt to me like black America was it's own entity, land, etc. White America was the enemy that needed to be defeated. If a white teacher calls a parent saying her black kid is a thug, it's met with "what do you know about my son?" It was also a vivid reminder of the OJ Simpson trial and the Rodney King beatings. A black woman was asked "How do you know OJ is guilty?" Black woman responds, "Because I know." Because you know? This movie is a white slamming satire of hate...in the other direction. Fishbourne and Ricky's mom are the worst culprits. I'm not even 1% prejudice and hated this white slamming *beep*

Does the movie not reflect history? This movie shows imperfect people, like every other movie. Some have misconceptions about some things, some are plain evil. It's a movie. It slams a lot of things, greed and racism from some white people as some of them. Art reflects life...
