Wicked Messenger from Vancouver, Canada writes: this movie sounds like typical "hollywood" trash- racial stereotypes and promoting drug use to make a buck

Home E. D'Clown from Canada writes: Mr. Cho makes an interesting comment about African-Americans versus Asian-Americans. African-American business people have been nothing short of brilliant in staying in touch with their evolving culture and marketing to their own demographic. Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Sean Coombs....all hugely successful people who understood their audience. It cracks me up everytime I see a white kid trying to dress like a rapper with the crotch of his pants at his knees and his flat-brimmed ball hat on sideways. Your grandfather didn't want to drink from the same water fountain as them and now you want to BE them. Take that offensive slur that whites used to (well, some still do) throw around. African-American culture took that word and made it it's own - the ultimate F.U. to decades of white oppression. I don't care for rap music (unless it's Grandmaster Flass or RUN DMC) but this is one white dude that stands and applauds their creativity and business minds.
....and pull up your pants, kid!!!- Posted 02/05/08 at 9:03 AM EDT | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment
