The number of older black men who rationalize the discrimination young dudes face as due to hair/clothes/tats is really disturbing to me

Never seen that movie and what'd he say about Selma

The Selma quote is in the OP.

Spike Lee directed the movie and he's basically some kinda banker/lawyer (idr) who gets framed by his white superiors for some white collar crime. So now to make a living he becomes a sperm donor for lesbians throughout NY who want children. His ex is played by Kerry Washington and a large portion of the movie deals with the whole narrative around black men being hyper-sexualized..amongst other shyt. Then of course we also remember him as Poppa Doc from 8 Mile...

Oh they've gotten pretty good about talking around it.

Bill O, Geraldo, Alan West, some racist-but-not-racist a$$hole on facebook: "If he hadn't sagged his pants/wasn't a wannabee gangsta(I hate how they pronounce this)/wore a hoodie/listened to that white hating hip-hop/had thug-locks/had an abundance of melanin/had a lineage from a certain continent right below Europe/listened to the police, he'd be alive today. The one time I was pulled over the officer gave me a high five and a lollipop! Blue Lives Matter! It's not about race. Al Sharpton. Jesse Jackson. Eric Holder."

You forgot the hashtag #IHateMuslims

mackie knows what it takes to please massa and get ahead in certain industries, he knows cacs don't like nikkas that look and sound like nikkas, so he wants us to hide and be ashamed of our identity just so massa will give us better scraps then he gives the field nikkas.

What was the excuse that whites used for treating blacks like shyt during the Jim Crow era and slavery times? Respectability politics don't work. Whites have hated blacks forever. There is no changing their sick minds.
