Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2017)

This is my first rating ever, and i don't usually complain about racism but this movie takes the cake. Every movie/show I have seen in my life (save for empire) has been about ignorant, impoverished,hopeless black people who end up dependent on someone white to do the thinking because they're supposedly too helpless to help themselves. Or broke or lazy or some other stereotype, usually, the only thing we are shown as capable of doing is beating people, stealing, abandoning babies, and drugs-all of which describe every black person in this movie- stereotypes. Crap like this subtly implies how useless and dependent black people supposedly are. It is movies like this that set stereotypes that make it harder for us to get respect in accordance to our personal ability/personality. This movie pith me off, and of all the movies that could have gotten an Oscar, the one that insults the dignity of black people everywhere is the one that got it. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive. Maybe I'm thinking too much but i cant see this movie as anything but degrading, and surely I'm not the only one.
