After my discussion a few weeks ago with professor and author Touré Reed, I found myself watching the movie Boyz N Tha Hood. In our discussion, we started to critique the politics of many Black leaders of the 90's that were proponents of the 1994 Crime Bill. Not even 5 minutes into the film, the viewer gets hit with the Black on Black crime troupe. The SAME THING I find myself fighting when we hear voices on the right defend state violence, is part of the messaging of this iconic film. A film that I would set off the "Hood Movie" genre of the 90's. I mean by the time you get to movies like "Menace II Society" it's just a more dramatically over the top version of Boyz.
I will say again that there was a crazy thing with my computer at the end, where I lost my connection to the WiFi, thus stopping the stream. We did pick up for another hour or so, for part 2 that is available for patrons.
