this movie come and go in the theater . due to the nature of it you can see why it wasn not well receive . it be unfairly pan because of it subject matter more than the actual film itself . high learning be not spectacular but it be good film that try to talk about a feared subject in america represent racism . plot or story represent high learning be mostly center around malik ( play by omar epps ) and a naive track star who be have to deal with not be fast enough and and a stern professor ( play by laurence fishburne ) . he befriend fudge ( ice cube ) as well a a gorgeous lady name deja ( tyra bank ) . later on they end up have to deal with some skinhead on campus . remy ( play by michael rapaport ) be confuse kid who end up befriend some local skinhead on campus . once they impose their view on him and he become as racist a they be . opinion represent high learning be not without it flaws represent character development be scarce and okay performance by omar epps and tyra bank and the leader of the skinhead ( whose name i forget ) and busta rhyme doesn not fit in this movie at all . plus woman turn gay after be abuse by men be cliché before this film so you know i do not like that part of the film with kristy swanson . other than that and this movie wasn not half bad . laurence fishburne be good a professor phipps ( even though i could do without the accent ) and fudge be ice cube best performance and michael rapaport be good a the confused remy . all in all it be one of john singleton best movie and be one be one of the reason i frown on the rubbish he put out now . cinema need more movie like high learning and mississippi burning and american history x and less movie like baby boy and 2 fast 2 furious and a very pointless remake of shaft .
