I mean comparing Black on Black crime to the Lynchings/Murders of black folks a long time ago by whites always got me thinking ever since i 1st saw the movie when it came out. I hope it made others think too.
The racist white dude made him silent when he said "those guys u killed....what color were they" Seriously all young black folks should watch this

That movie was creepy as ? but that ? was real. I think it's kind of eerie that he died in real life.

Yup, black folk need to learn this ? . Crab in a barrel ? ass heads.
-
Already knew this...

yeah, that vignette featuring hakeem from Moesha was a good story. that lady showed him the souls of all the people he killed and the effects of black on black crime and its comparison to white lynchings.

That story along wit the one where that elected official (i think) came back to life kinda freaked me out.
Damn. I use to think of this movie as some cheap, ghetto, bootleg azzz flick. Y'all actually breaking down the movie, and the meaning behind each story, makes me appreciate it more -
^ cs when i 1st watched it i thought it was just a hood/horror movie but when i rewatched it when i got a lil older i realized "damn this movie has allot of substance" them ? dolls tho lol

I remember making a thread about this movie a while back and being clowned for saying that. I still can't watch this ? on Netflix by myself even tho I seen it plenty of times.
This movie is so real and personal to me. Its feels so real and reflects black people and white racism. Them Lynching scenes combine with the errie piano riffs over Spice-1 violent dark rhymes is very haunting to me... -
Crazy old ? had me rolling when i was younger...."AHHH THE ? !!!" "You'll be KNEE DEEP....in the ? !"
-
And how the ? it took this ? mad long to run back to his whip just to get shot up by those three dudes....youd think that ? parked up the block he was only across the street lol

-
Underrated film
-
I have yo watch this again last time I saw this I was 10 of course I didn't catch none of the stuff yall taliing about wah back then
-
this ? had me shook as a kid.
it like that black wax museum where they got a scene of a ? getting stabbed in a alleyway....."NOW WE LYNCH OURSELVES".... -

-
Black people like to get all militant and serious about the word "? "..... every black person in the theater was on the floor laffin at the white racist politician
"Where you lil nigglets at? I killed one of ya, I'll ? you all"
"I'm gon blow yo lil ? ? off" -
