How can one film be so based?

> depicts "hood life" in a less than positive light
> doesn't glorify nigger culture unlike similiar films
> if this film was made in 2016 it would be considered racist

I was surprised at the depth of the film, I was expecting a shoot 'em up with little plot or story involved.

It's the only good colored movie. The father is what black people should act like if they want to be respected. The rest is what we're dealing with now.

It's easy for that to work when your son is Cuba fucking Gooding Jr. If Laurence Fishburne were any other nigga's dad, they wouldnt have listened to his holier than thou shit

>It's the only good colored movie

That is objectively wrong

Name 3...and if one of them is a Spike Lee Joint you should walk through the streets of Detroit wearing a suit made of dollar bills.

Holy shit, so much this. The father actually tried to make something of his life and give back to his people (which was ultimately in vain, but at least he tried)

The film really showed me that there's black people out there that aren't neccesarily niggers.

I love how the movie shows that nobody wins in the game of "hood life". Everybody ends up as a dead nigger on the street sooner rather than later.
>>

Yes, there are some good black people out there. Fictional black people written by Hollywood...

Art imitates life. If you've got your head on straight you're not a bad person. If you glorify and relish in criminal activity then you're a piece of shit.
>>
>>64650789
you've got cause and effect backwards there. or do you really think a father like he was has no influence on the mind of their 3 year old son?
>>
I never understood the speech Fishburne's character makes in front of that sign in the neighborhood. Why is he upset that those type of people want to move in?
>>
This movie is 100 times better than Do The Right Thing, also Don't Be A Menace was fucking hilarious.
>>
>>64651570
I saw Don't Be a Menace before I ever saw any of the movies it was making fun of. It's basically a remake of this movie. Fucking ridiculous.
