My take away is that this is a stellar performance from a timeless Shakespearean script with a prophetic message of how a colonial mindset still operates in our obvious racist society. The key idea of a "wall of fame" that doesn't include any melanin rich people is surely the centerpiece of the film. In one image, it denotes how the people that actually built society are excluded and in a twist, cast to the lower echelon by oppressive colonial systems. The tragedy of it all is that when confronted by truth, the colonizer suppresses their natural greatness by force or removal. Instead of repentance, we see the perpetuation of force while trying to maintain their stolen power.

This is evidenced by scenes of natural resistance. Playing cutting edge "freedom" music as an anthem of resistance. Demanding a fair "slice" of the pie, so to speak, with a token of extra mozerella. Small but powerful symbols of awakening to the oppressive culture that has systematically kept them in bondage.

Ok ok ok... I can't keep it up.

Yea, the film shoulda been called "Dindu's Pizza" The real point of this film was just how poorly yet effectively Mind Control operations work on us. Two layers, to blacks and "minorities" and to whites. This was another spear tip of racial warfare against us by a Jewish controlled Culture machine. Unfortunately, they won that battle. I call it the niggrafication of everything. They even somehow dominated Country music. It's nothing more than twangy rap now.

What to do what to do? That's the real question. In Camp of the Saints, there's nothing. Maybe it all has to burn down and then sifted, sorted, and those who can, rebuild. Maybe a sociologist will one day look at this film or this review, and go.... Wow... how could they?

Never made it through DTRThing. So annoying with bad acting, vacant plot.

This film opened the door for many more badly acted and plot-vacant films with black casts. And TV shows.

I dread whenever Spike shows up on TCM to talk abt his movies.

The boom box entitlement reminds me of the 5X daily isloon chanting over loud speakers that many towns and cities must now endure in the name of relig/cultural permissiveness.

Most people try not to understand the black / white problem .

To be blunt …we are stuck with each other .

Hamilton and Washington knew this early on with Hamilton going to the Caribbean find a place for the blacks . Even the abolish movement wanted Liberia .

In what seems underreported, Lincoln was no fan of the blacks and he too advocated for Liberia

I agree with Richard . Segregation and cordial interactions when together . I live in an all white enclave but at the supermarket I am friendly with a black checker .

What more evidence do the white liberal woke women at Columbia or Stanford need ?

They can see the blacks wanting their own dorms , save spaces , graduation etc .

I keep coming back to Rodney King “ can’t we just all get along “

I think we can . We have no choice anymore . But it is easier to get along when encounters are few . The left will never keep trying to force us together at work or college .

I must add that Jazz is a great American cultural music form . Ignore the silly talk about “ African

roots “ and listen to “ high modes “ ..Art Blakey ..or “ Moanin ‘ “ ..Charlie Mingus..great stuff .

I want you to watch Belly and Pearls Before Swine. These are weirdly parallel movies.
