yeah, a few years ago, i took a african american studies class and i was one of two non black people in the class.
the teacher of the class (a younger black lady in her mid 30's) was lecturing us about the difference between the hughes brothers (menace II society) and john singleton (boyz n the hood)....the difference between their educations and the difference of how the 2 movies were financially backed.
she was also talking about singleton's movies and about how she thought the characters were too extreme...an example she brought up was when michael rappaports character went out and became a nazi and started shooting people and how it was too extreme and would never happen like that.
but since higher learning is one of my favorite movies, i broke the movie down to the point where she couldnt really argue back....it was funny to me that i was able to school the teacher in front of entire class of black students.
i dont know what the point of this post is...but i just wanted to share that.
by the way, i got an A in that class.
