Damn why do East Coast/African movies hate butt-kissing so much?


This movie is the complete opposite of "Boyz n the hood," although "Fresh" is probably moreso explicitly.

In "Boyz n the hood" a self-hating black cop belittles Tre's race and humiliates him in public. What was Tre's reaction: he chose to forgive and kiss his butt.

This movie on the other hand, not only does a cop who humiliates Jason and Midget receive talking back, but in some cases they get things thrown at their car in an attempt to hurt them (as Midget does in one scene) and in one case they're shot at by Midget as well. And if Tre were to be in Jason's neighborhood, they would beat him up for being a "Rodney King."

Which reminds me, why all the hate for Rodney King? Damn are they that mad at white people (not that I don't understand the anger being a "bro"-saying "Seinfeld"-watching Rivera myself) that they hate anyone who kisses white butt too and wants to hurt them in addition? LOL

Damn these guys are hardcore. "Fresh" was like this even more explicitly. Tre would have been scared to do what this cojones-filled boy did to the white racist cop who called him a monkey - he talks back at him.

The "Shaft" movies and every New York/Northeast black movie is like this lol

That's just how we get down. I'm from Jersey, but lives in Seattle by the way.

No wonder every racist fears you guys. West Coast rappers can say they're gangsta, but you guys and Africans, as well as every African immigrant group are the epitome of not GAF.
