I generally like people. But I really didn't like anyone in this movie.
My New Year's resolution is to simply write 2̶0̶1̶4̶ 2015 instead of 2014"

What do black characters in this film do that you find objectionable? Is it the way they disenjoy being oppressed? Would you prefer black characters who just go along with systemic racism and don't mind it?
Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/and the feeelin's right/Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/what a fight
Well I don't know why he felt the way he felt but I imagine it was because Cube and Busta ruthlessly bullied Michael Rapaport for being white and inevitably turned him into a skinhead
If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth
It takes a special kind of mind to watch the development of a skinhead and blame it on black people -- in real life or in this film.
Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/and the feeelin's right/Oh yes it's Laaarry Holmes/what a fight
Yeah a mind of reason, I don't blame it on black people in general but clearly hadn't Cube and Busta bullied him the way they did he wouldn't even thought in those terms....
He just wanted anyone to accept him, the only one who did was the skinheads who manipulated his mind quite a bit to turn him in to one of theirs
If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth
It seems to make more sense to blame:
- the skinheads for (as you say) manipulating him
- him, for being so manipulable
- his parents, for planting pro-racist and pro-gun seeds in him in the first place (these are mentioned briefly in the film)
Yes, sometimes in life people will bully us, but hopefully you would agree that the proportional response is not to snipe them from a rooftop.

Thank you, vandwedge. Seriously.
Don't come for me unless I send for you. There is consequence.......
Correction. Scott turned Remy into a racist skin head. Rather, Remy's weak mentality allowed him to become a skin head after being persuaded by Scott. It just is not right to try and blame all that on Fudge and Dreads.
If being bullied once or twice can turn someone racist, they were already racist to begin with. I don't understand why nobody wants to hold Remy responsible for his own actions. He moved out from Fudge and still became whatever he was. Did Fudge make Remy pick a fight with Malik, "1995 coon?" Fudge was nowhere in sight when Remy did that. Fudge was nowhere in the room when Remy trashed his roomates things.
Though he was fragile and very vulnerable, at some point, Remy has to be held responsible for his choices that had nothing to do with Fudge. Fudge and Dreads didn't turn Remy into anything.

The point of this movie is that all races are racist, most of the characters are in this movie... Malik included, he threw a hissy fit when he saw a interracial couple....
Been a while since I saw it now so yeah I don't remember every details but Remy became a racist because the black people who he just wanted to be friends with bullied him around instead... And sure he is responsible for his own actions at the end of the day, but if you can't see that they were a instrumental part of structuring him into becoming a racist you are blind.
Somedays you just can't dispose of a bomb.
All races are NOT racist. I don't believe that was the movie's point but rather, there are (some) members from every race that are racist. I don't believe Malik was racist. He made racist remarks about his team mate becuz he had just gotten into a fight with him. Hes standing there with his white girlfriend so that was the first thing Malik thought of to attack and express his anger when he was talking to Deja.
Remy was grown enough to decipher between right and wrong. I will never believe every black person Remy met bullied him or made him racist. There were several things that were "instrumental" to Remy's racist demise, NOT JUST FUDGE AND DREADS and if you cant see that, you're blind as well or maybe you don't want to see it. Maybe you could check the movie out again and see that Remy was bullied just the same by Scott. Also, listen for Remy saying his dad kicked his *ss everyday. Surely the fault of Fudge and Dreads, right? Remy had choices to make that went way beyond being bullied by Fudge. He made them and those choices led him to his end.

Violent, against the rules of the college and society, extremely racist towards whites. Makes them look like little whiny babies.
I didn't have a problem with the black people in this film. And I am a white person.
shareI think OP's point is that this POS movie actually created racism, where none had existed.
I'll take Punctuality
Lmao at this movie creating racism. Racism never went anywhere. America thrives off racism.
shareUnbelievable. This movie is not creating racism. How can a movie create whats been around for centuries? Rather as expressed here, this film only holds up a mirror to the ugliness that will be here indefinitely.

It could have a couple more likeable non racist black people in it I can agree with that, but that was sort of the point of the movie... You can't be pro black and not be racist, like you can't be pro white and not be racist... Most characters in this movie were racists, not just the uber obvious baldheaded skinheads
If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth
"You can't be pro black and not be racist"
ummmmm yes you can. that's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Are you serious?
You hate the blacks?! I am a white female and after seeing this I hate the white folks they are disgusting priviledged spoiled bratts with all that alcohol and loud parties...
People complain blacks were smoking weed on campus like they have a higher moral or something... blacks can't smoke weed (which is legalized in some states and can be used for therapeutical effects), but white folks get to drink themselves to the ground and it's all fine... At least with weed you don't loose your consciousness and the addiction potencial is lower.
Exactly. Thank you.
shareMaybe its because you're a racist.
