because it's naive to think that persons so incredibly unfamiliar with the lifestyles and people being portrayed in some of these black films doesn't affect how these people grade them shits. i'm sorry...it just don't work. i think they have the same tendancy to dismiss the shit as stupid as a "black" person (i.e. the type of black folk that love tyler perry movies and wanna see flicks with black faces) would dismiss shit like, oh, say...the queen.

there's something to be said for knowing your audience.

i didn't think the movie was so great, but it was better than a lotta shit i've seen so far this year.
