    I always love this--people who think they're doing their part to erase racial inequality solely by listening to the right music.



    Or dating interracially.





    On the flip side of this is when people think you're racist if you don't like Spike Lee's movies.



    No, it's not the flipside; that perception is actually accurate.

    Wha? The biggest complaint I hear about Spike Lee's films is that his treatment of his characters are racist.

  • Authenticity is a High Commodity. Some people will go to great lengths to obtain it. You gotta be down with your true self to really be down. Be Here Now honkey.

    Doo Rags looks stupid on whitey anyway.

    see, my issue with his flicks is that they seem to be made for white viewers. his characters are over the top and his screenplays seem to reiterate some message dude is trying to get across. i like them suggestive films. dude makes porn for social issues.

    That over-the-top aspect is what I love - he makes melodrama.

  • As a 20-something self- defined Black Man (capital B you fucks) I say that it's nothing theraputic or vene charming about a white person that uses this word. i even get offended when I hear younger Hispanic people using it. There's nothing you can tell me about shared struggle or oppression that will make me feel that this is acceptable. At the end of the day you get all the privileges and comfort of knowing that larger society doesn't apply the stigma of the stereotypes to you. As you may think that Hip Hop defines greater Black culture, it doesn't and this holds a greater
    stigma over the whole of society.

    well, i guess i see it this way. his movies are for people of color to sit around and go "mmm-hmm" and for white folks to go "oh really?" which is not bad per se. but i kinda see it as a defeat. that dude has to pander to an outside culture. has to constantly slap you across the face with his message. all the while preaching to the choir. see, i find it insulting when im being told something i already know and live. and i also find it sad that he has to service an outside culture. i like julie dash's movies cuz she dont explain shit. either you know, or you better pick up a fuckin book and start learning about it cuz she aint gonna slow down and explain it.

    er, just my opinion.

    seriously faux i agree with a lot of what you say many a times but that is just stupid, i thought do the right thing was a good movie and i thought bamboozled was ok, but the rest i could live without, especially she hate me which i thought was a waste of my time, does this make me a racist in your book?

  • Am I a racist because I think Al Green sucked an egg when he was performing on the Today show last month?

    A couple of people took offense to this... How dare to diss Al Green. He is the master of soul. You are a blasphomus sinner!

    I mean whatever dude... If the shit is wack, it's wack... It has nothing to do with race.

    In example... I think Harriet Tubman was the shit!

    Spike Lee and Al Green can't even carry that woman's girdle.

    Factor that!

    Naw, man, I'm obviously being somewhat facetious; I thought both Bamboozled and She Hate Me were terrible films, but if you categorically reject his entire body of work I think that makes you somewhat suspect.
