Yep, Friday is truly a low point of the black culture.
You know, I never saw the film until now. Afterwards, I began to realize it may have played a role
in shaping how black people behave nowadays.
Well, this one has it all that perfectly describes the black culture: black-on-black crime, joblessness, idleness, lack of
education, poor speaking skills, drug use, physical fights to solve problems, absence of parental values, incessant profanity,
and toilet humor. It's not funny but rather disturbing.
I hate Chris Tucker. His character bothers me so much that he's whom I imagine what an entitled young black person
is typically like. John Witherspoon degrades himself by playing a disgusting human being. Ice Cube repeats what he did in
Boyz n the Hood. I know he was special as Doughboy, but let's face facts:
somebody should've canceled his movie career a long time ago because he cannot act.
All in all, black people should be embarrassed by Friday and even more so by mimicking the characters' behavior.
