That is some funny stuff what movie is it, It seems to set blacks up as being limited culturally expressig themselves through swearing and protest rap or crude stereotypes "I've been smacking my ho's, and everyone knows, kick em to the ground and knocking them down"

I would love to see the whole movie, I have only seen chunks on Youtube, But I believe what Spike Lee was trying to do was showing that modern day black culture with its extremist rap like the Mau Maus, liberal use of the motherfucker word and the ghetto hood mentality is just as bad as the racist depiction of minstrel type, coon darkie stereotypes of the late 19th and early 20th century. What he may be saying too, is that as long as African Americans keep pursuing the self inflicted stereotype of violent, militant activist, white hating, welfare bludging, ghetto wanna be pimps, whites will never think any different, that is balcks will always be like Mantan. I also notice too the coon face comes from the Racist restaurant chain called the Coon Chicken Inn that operated in the Pacific Northwest between 1928 and 1958.
Please Harlepolis or Little Blue Corvette or anyone else who really knows about this stuff (And I mean it with repsect) fill me in if this is wrong and I have missed the message its telling me. And I want to see the movie in its entirety.
