Rating:  - Conservative Hyprocrisy
The reocurring theme in this film asks us to do our research, well when we do, we find that many not all, but many of the experts that they interview are advocates of a republican agenda that does more harm to black men than good. Although much of what is said in this documentary has a ring of truth, some statements are incorrect,i.e.( there are approx. 700,000 black men incarcerated and 800,000 black men in college, when actually there are currently 900,000 black men incarcerated and 800,000 black men in college). Many black men are locked up when white men committing the same crimes only receive a slap on the wrist. We can not use injustice such as institutionalized rascism as a crutch, but we can not simply ignore it either.
Pundits like Armstrong Williams and Juan Williams are almost laughable,if they weren't such tragic figures. Both are paid for spreading the right wing agenda. A. Williams was discovered receiving a stipend from the current republican administration and J. Williams from Fox news to be Bill O'Reilly's lackey.
I agree with the premise of this film, but I can do without the conservative slant.
Rating: - Excellent
It sure is refreshing to see that everyday black men and some high profile black men aren't buying into the victim mentality. These voices are muted in the mainstream media and it needs to be put front and center which this work does quite well. I'll show this to as many black men I can and hope that it gives them another way of looking at things.
