as a white canadian
i liked it. was an exemplary movie compared to the usual african-american fare. I don't know if that sounds racist. black oriented cinema to me right now, seems like it consists entirely of religious dating flicks and Tyler Perry abominations that I don't know who goes to see.
menace II society is still the GOAT for sure. didn't muck around with a muddy message, and didn't care if you liked the characters. just put itself out there as is
