this movie show how racist john singleton be . he portray white and other race that be not black a the evil that exist in our educational system . how quick he forget that it be this same educational system that make him what he be and fail at it . ice cube character be the epitome of an instigating black man that be responsible for most of the violence in this film . singleton barely touch on the relationship between the white and black character that be try to reach out to each other . when omar epps say i need to be with my people and that racist remark spoke volume . and john and do not think for a minute that the picture of thomas jefferson in the tower stairwell do not get my attention . nice touch .
