This movie was fantastic

I can't believe I slept on it so long.

People don't know but the government banned this movie. They were afraid that the most is would start riots everywhere. Also the panthers would show this movie as part of orientation when new recruits would start out.

Anyway great movie and one of my favorites of all time. The ending is very chilling and reminds me of a rod staring episode of the twilight zone.

Watched this a few years ago, it was a real good movie. I thought there could be a series of books about what would happen after the black revolution if not for the drug epidemic.

It's been a while since I saw the movie but wasn't that line said by the most light-skinned black man in the entire movie?

Loved the ending when he killed his friend who he thought was a sell out. Dude said tough decisions have to be made for revolution. I was like damn this shyt is deep even today.

Always thought this movie should have been a blueprint for black people to succeed in the world. Learn all the tricks that white people have then teach them to those underneath your position.

Funny how they tried to make this movie disappear but all those blaxploitation movies about pimps and drug dealers are still around
