Appealing to the lowest common denominator of the black race, 3 Strikes solidifies a lot of stereotypes, and you know
what: they're accurate.
Ever wonder why a large percentage of black people don't fare well in life? It begins with their low IQ. They do stupid
things that get them arrested and are eventually sent to prison. Racism has nothing to do with it.
The way they speak, especially the parents, is horrendous, causing them to lose immediate respect in society by large.
Ebonics isn't a valid language; it's a bunch of nonsense, resulting in a significant step down on the social ladder.
Speaking non-standard English and not paying attention to authority are why many of them can't get high-paying jobs.
3 Strikes indicates what I mean. It makes me wonder if director DJ Pooh was admitting the truth about the shortcomings
of the black race. Either way, he has done a good job. Honestly, the movie isn't bad, but it's crude in many
ways. The only failure is, for a supposedly comedy picture, it isn't funny. Had it been, my rating would've been higher.
All in all, riding on the coattails of Friday's success,
3 Strikes should make a lot of black people ashamed of their ghetto culture.
