My newfound obsession
Recently (a couple of months ago to be exact) i was channel surfing, and i found a program on T.V. about black people, and their culture in the 80s. for some reason, i loved this program and terribly wanted to know more about black people and thier culture (i am white incase you havn't guessed). By black people, i don't mean suburb, privite school black. im talking about NYC Brooklyn, P.S. 42 my mom sells crack and I dont know my dad black. Sorry if this sounds racist or steriotypical, but that is what the program described the ghetto black community as. Anyway, the point is that i am now unusually interested with the culture of blacks in the ghetto, and really want to learn more about it, so in the past few weeks, i have seen (again sorry for sounding racist, but i do not mean to be) black people movies. Movies about blacks in the ghetto, and their everyday struggle just to get by. Movies like Hoop Dremas, a real life documentary about two ghetto kids with longshot dreams go get into the NBA, and a Spike Lee joint Do The Right Thing about a racially divided neighborhood, and their trying to form a community together.
Tonight, i am going to see another classic black movie Boys N The Hood. I am not really sure what it's about, but I hear it's good, so i am looking forward to it.
I am especially Interested in black culture from the late eighties (Public Enemy Era) to the Mid 90s (around the shootings of 2pac and Biggie).

I would like to once again appologize for possibly offending anyone, but this post was not aimed in that direction. I simply wanted to state my interest in learning about new things. Such as different cultures, and lifestyles. If anoyone knows any good black films, it would be nice to reccomentd me of them.
