Will The ATL Movie Cause Violence?

tip.jpg
Did anybody catch the "secret" warning letter sent out to several local theaters by the Head of Security at Perimeter Mall? In his letter he expresses his concern at the "probability of serious violence" breaking out at area theaters when ATL opens next week.

Nobody knows why he circulated the letter, but it's become the topic of discussion nonetheless. Especially since the overall theme of the movie is centered around following your goals and dreams, and not narcotics as the letter suggested.

The movie's director Chris Robinson commented that he can't even understand it himself.

But I do. We need to quit sugercoatin' everything. It was a racist act. But the thing about it is, letter or no letter this is what many people are thinking anyway and security would've been deep regardless. He was just the pawn who put it out there.

SOHH I ask, "Will this movie make the kids start shooting?"

Is that a rhetorical question?

Posted by: reallydoe at March 24, 2006 12:05 PM

SOHH I ask "Does racism still exist?"

Thats kind of a easy question to answer, yes it does, its kind of obvious to know though, considerin theres still nazis and klansmen around, so as long as there around, yes racism will always be here, and of course there gonna have security, they dont want what happend at the 50 Cent movie to happen.

Posted by: ji flow at March 24, 2006 12:06 PM

Racism is always going to exist there is no question about that. Am I the only person that thinks "ATL" will not be that good of a movie? I believe it is being overhyped but I guess we will see.

Posted by: Rude Nigga at March 24, 2006 12:18 PM

Was security needed for Harry Potter? How about Star Wars? Racism is so blatant and some of us STILL dont see it. Damn shame.

Posted by: Creem at March 24, 2006 12:25 PM

Hmmmmm, i'm not to sure if its going to be a good movie, it looks like it might, but from the previews, it looks like T.I. has similar acting skills to 50 Cent, so i dont know.

Posted by: da facts man at March 24, 2006 12:25 PM

To answer a silly question:
YES, racism still exists. It will always exist to sum extent in Amerikkka BUT

Let's be honest people, isn't there a reason white people get nervous when we drop a movie? We can get da fuck ignorant. Sum fool got shot at Get Rich or Die Trying, some fool got shot at Hustle and Flow. When I was young, sum fool got shot at Juice, and I was in that crowd! I know I'm gonna get hated on, but black people need to learn how to behave when we go out to support our people. You don't see white people dying whenever Tom Cruise drops a movie.

Posted by: Huey Freeman at March 24, 2006 12:26 PM

No one gets shot at the Tom Cruise movies? Man 20 whiteboys with blackrags walked in the Last Samurai and shit went down, the fist fight turned into a good old western movie, man the actual violence was better than the movie.

Posted by: Crazy WHite Boy at March 24, 2006 12:32 PM

This is ridiculous. It is known that the ignorant Black folks, not us, are know for doing some ignorant ass shit in movie theaters, especially while watching Black movies. In conclusion, it's us (Black People) against them (NIGGERS)

You know what are bigger problems than RACISM?? MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND DENIAL. Racism is really nothing but someone not liking you because you're a certain race. Really, we don't care if white people don't like us as individuals. OPPRESSION is when that dislike is used to exploit us and leave us at a social and economic disadvantage. That is an understatement of our situation in America today.
That being said, BLACK PEOPLE WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF DENIAL. Let's stop acting like we don't know why he sent the letter. All of us know damn well that VIOLENCE IS MORE LIKELY to jump off at some theatre that's showing ATL than one that's showing Brokeback Mountain or some shit -or even Madea's Family Reunion. However, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE. It's the normal tension that exists now in the YOUNG Black community that spills out when large numbers of us get together i.e. clubs, concerts whatever. If I owned a movie theatre, you damn well better believe I'm having more security at ATL than a movie with an all white cast, and I'm from the hood. Just like if you own a nightclub you know damn well you better have more security in there on a night when young Black kids will be there than when it's white suburban kids in the crowd. My niggas got into a fight last weekend at a club unexpectedly. It happens. 90 % of us from the hood have gotten into violent situations in places where we are gathering to enjoy ourselves. It happens.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO is address this atmosphere of hate that we walk around in daily as a result of the OPPRESSION we continue to suffer from and stop being in DENIAL so we can return to some sense of sanity.
If y'all get a chance try to find and watch the WATTSTAX DVD from the early 70s. It has all the big name Black singers from the period and also featured Richard Pryor with 50,000+ Black people in the L.A. Coliseum and there were NO PROBLEMS, NO VIOLENCE, EVERYBODY WAS SHOWING LOVE. Than can not happen today. We need to holla at each other and come to an understanding so that we can kick it that way again and show love.

And when War Of The Worlds came out, i went into the movie theatre with my fellow white boys armed with baseball bats, but mexicans were there, so we ended up gettin our asses kicked, but it was still some good fun, just to let you know, shit does pop off at Tom Cruise movies, dont make me get started on Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller movies, i'll be here all day and night.

Its called Anti-Semetism!!

Blacks and Jews(im jewish) are alike in the fact that weve been persecuted all our lives and after slavery and even the holocaust hate still remains. SPREAD the love/wealth!

Posted by: BigCav at March 24, 2006 12:47 PM

Blacks and Jews alike? The only thing that makes that comparible is the holocuast, man Jewish people are the richest people in the world, and Irish people were slaves back in Ireland too man, but if you wanna get your ass kicked, go to a John Travolta movie when bikers are there, black or white, bikers will kick your ass, trust me, i know.

Posted by: bob at March 24, 2006 01:24 PM

Ok. Let's keep it Gangsta. Some dickhead somewhere will bring a gun to the theater somewhere and do something stupid because that's what happens when large cross sections of society go to view movies about our community. And believe me, the dumb ass that needs to be readin' these blogs is NOT on line right now. Most of us here are preachin' to the chior. As much as I hate to admit it, this is the shit we do to ourselves. So, if ANY of you out there are cool enough with the dick head of your crew(EVERY crew has a resident dick head) either pull his coat tail or peel off without him. Let's prove these bastards wrong for once. Holla.

does racism still exists..hells yea it do
nobody's denyin that
but when was the last time you seen some white people grill each other's posse down from across a theatre and then feel the need to prove themselves to the homies and/or ladies present by poppin shit off????

i dont think i can recall a time

but on more than one occasion have i seen some ignorant ass dudes, mostly young bulls, catch some bad look, or someone checkin they girl out, and then they grab friends who grab friends and then everybody's fucked....

so before you go blame this on the white racist......
.....check the news, and dont be a hypocrite

I can tell you when white boys do that, i believe i was watchin Zoolander, and i saw this dude walkin down the aisle acitn hard, so i went and got my fellow whte boys and it was on, we ran up to him and knocked his punk ass out, than his boys came, than it all just popped off.

Posted by: Crazy WHite Boy at March 24, 2006 02:06 PM

Although this was wrong, the main reason why security is gonna be heightened is because they beleive this movie will bring a certain crowd. I think this is silly because security wasnt heightened when 50's or Eminems 8 mile came out. They hatin on the TI that's all

Posted by: Flygirl at March 24, 2006 02:22 PM

I think this is silly because security wasnt heightened when 50's or Eminems 8 mile came out. They hatin on the TI that's all

^^ yes they did heighten security with 50's movie, they even blocked a lot of theatres from playing his movie...they dont do this shit with these lil white violent movies

Good look on the shout out to TI. i swear to moses i would do anything for that man. my god. i hope he reads these to cause i am so happy he left that girl. i mean not cause he ended a relationship just cause i want him... first time in a long time i've had a crush... but anyway niggas is ignorant and thats why everytime we get a movie put out they only show it at the "black Theaters" or they bring out security. stop actin ignorant and we might get some respect did yall niggas ever thing of that. or maybe yall should stop dressing like thugs when you go to movies and they wont pick on you. any body got TI's phone number...

Posted by: mo at March 24, 2006 02:44 PM

I love my Black People, but that is a reality when certain black movies come out. Ain’t no extra police for Madea’a movie. I went to see “hustle and flow”. First I had a hard time finding atheater that was showing it. Then as the movie was getting dood, a 15-man brawl broke out. I got my money back from the manager. t If you are getting mad, we need to encourage our fellow black people to stop the fuckin violence. Me as long as they don’t fuck with me cuz I smell like weed, I’m all for more cops at the movie theater whether it is a black movie or white movie, cuz I have seen fights break out at white movies as well. (Ignorant muthfuckas in Miami lol) Look our community got problems and it starts with yourself. We got to fight to mental slavery the white man has on us that makes us belive that we can only be drug dealers/criminals, athletes, or entertainers. They want us to remain ignorant, but we need to fight it and do better 4 ourselves.Hopefullly sum of the positive messages in this movie encourages some of the ignorant muthafuckas to open up their mind to positivity.

Am I tripping, I could have sworn that it was no movie theatre at Perimeter.

Anyway, racism is out there and the stereotypes about blacks come from how some of us choose to act. We need to pick up our community and stop tearing shit down. Ride down Bankhead (or Holloway as they call it for the new white area) and look at our streets. The streets are filthy, tons of people at every bus stop, businesses behind gated fences. Athletes foot on Bankhead has been robbed 5 times in the last year or so.

For people to respect us we need to start respecting our community and our self. We need to rise up in the ranks in top organizations, and community positions. Our commnuities need education on job skills, credit, healthcare, wealth building. Dont listen to that shit Juvenile says about taking your FEMA check and get your hustle on. Fuck that start a business now that someone is providing assistance with your living arrangements.

JUST VENTING. these are my personal feelings not for anyone to agree with.

Posted by: CRAZYLOVE at March 24, 2006 02:56 PM

Jews and Blacks dont have anything alike?

1) Who are the people in the industry giving the african american community a chance they never had?

2) Who directed The color purple? Steven Spielberg

3) Who donated 1 billion dollars to hurrican katrinas relief? THE JAFP aka the jewish association for peace.

Saying we are rich is a stereotype because look at our homeland israel. Its 1000x more ghetto then any black hood. LETS SPREAD PEACE NOT HATE!

Muhphucka, if u just be coo, take yo broad to the movie house, watch the movie, get on some work if u can & leave the movies without pulling the strap out, o'fays wouldn't send in the whole police force. Ni&&as be bringing that sh!t on they goddam-self. Bottom-line. Stop catchin feelins cuz we wild-out @ the movies when certain flix comes out. And yeah I can say this cuz I'ma ni&&a.

Addendum to "secret" email release:

PS- There's no need to worry about security at stonecrest, "black"briar, n. dekalb or the theater on memorial dr. no one goes to; some dumb nigger at each location will do something anyway. We are just being proactive in ensuring the peace and continuity of our lily-white enclave as the private school sons- getting their 'gangster' on in fila's and A hats- of our affluent denizens safely patronize the Mansell Rd/Perimeter Pt. theaters. Upon re-upping on hood cred via a fricking movie, said private school son will drive to one of his buddy's house whose parents are out of town, slam a fifth of Jack in 15 minutes and later wrap dad's beemer around a light pole after hitting a corner at 90 mps.

It's mental slavery man. Some modern-day Kane & Abel shit.

"What the fuck is this man,
Niggas doin brothas in worse than the clan" - Hittman

But shit, that's life. Look around the world, poverty eats people's souls...and black communities among others are known to be poor. It's poor communities that have the worst crime, violence, and tension, no one can disagree with that. & It'll take generations of improving ourselves for that fuckin dark cloud to stop following us. We oughtta start businesses & legal hustles and keep money circulating within our community. Why the fuck do we use last week's dead-end-job paycheck or welfare check to buy drugs? So not only are we still starvin, the dealer goes & buys some dumb shit like a watch or a chain. That's one reason why our communities stay poor.

And racism is for stupid fuckin people. If you gotta hate someone, hate him for a fuckin reason...like a bad personality trait or something he did to you. If you wanna hate an entire race, you better have fuckin met every last member of that race & have a reason behind that hate. Otherwise, I hope you realize how fuckin dumb you are.

The guy on here who calls himself Huey Freeman is 100% right. ATL seems to be a good natured PG film that will spark a couple of acting careers (TI and Diana Ross' son). The letter is obviously about racism, but we (black people) need to stop proving white people right. Stop going to the movies with guns, stop buying/stealing guns all together. If Amerikka wants to get rid of Black people everyone who is trying to be a "gangsta" a killing other Black people is just giving white folks exactly what they want. Didn't that used to be called being a "Tom" or a "Koon"?

well i dont think there will be any violence.

1. this movie is just a rated R roll-bounce
2. for their to be violence there will have to be more than one person attending the movie

(i dont think there will be more than one person attending because its gonna be a stupid movie anyway.

I FEEL YOU ALL THE WAY, BUT THAT'S JUST LIKE USING THE WORD FAG, GAY MEANS HAPPY BUT WHEN THE WORD IS USED TOWARD PEOPLE THEY GET OFFENDED. I AM VERY VERY WELL KNOWLEDGED ABOUT MY HISTORY SON. WE CHANGED THE MEANING AMONGST OURSELVES, THEREFORE WHEN WE USE THE WORD WE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO US. I LOVE THE AFRICAN WOMAN CAUSE I CAME FROM ONE AND MADE ONE. WE ALL KNOW CERTAIN WOMEN FALL UNDER DIFFERENT CATORGORY'S. WHEN I TALK ABOUT BITCHES OR HOES, I'M SPEAKING TO THE ONES THAT CARRY THEMSELVES IN THAT MANNER. THERE'S A STIGMA THAT WILL ALWAY'S FOLLOW THE WORD BITCH. THERE'S A BAD BITCH, AND THERE'S A STUPID BITCH, BUT REAL WOMEN KNOW WHERE THEY FIT WHEN THE WORD IS USED IN A NEGATIVE WAY.
NIGGER - {obs}. A DEROGATORY TERM TO USED WORLDWIDE TO REFER TO BLACK PEOPLE.
AS FOR YOUR OPINION ABOUT HOW I RAISE MY SEEDS, THAT'S ONLY SPECULATION ABOUT A SITUATION YOU HAVE NO FACTS TO BACK UP OTHER THAN MY VIEWS OFF A COMPUTER SCREEN. I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN TO PROPERLY EDUCATE MY SHORTY'S ABOUT LIFE, PEOPLE, OUR STRUGGLE AND WHY WE TALK THE WAY WE DO TO EACH OTHER. RACISM IS A OVER RATED EMOTION THAT CAN BE PREVENTED. I TEACH MY SHORTY'S WE ALL THE SAME, BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL JUDGE YOU BASED ON YOUR COLOR. I TEACH THEM TO LOVE YOURSELF AND IT WILL BE EASY TO LOVE OTHERS. I HAVE A LABEL CALLED OUT DA GHETTO ENT. WE ARE STARTING ODG YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, WE PASS OUT TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS, WE WILL SOON START OUR MOTHERS DAY EVENT. IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE WILL ALSO GIVE AWAY SCHOLARSHIPS QURTERLY TO DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS. WE ARE CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR A LOCATION TO OPEN UP A BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. I'M TO THE POINT, WHEN SOMEONE OTHER THAN MY RACE USES THE WORD NIGGER, MY MINDSTATE IS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO IGNORE IT CAUSE I KNOW IT'S ONLY FOR NEGATIVE REASONS. YOU CAN'T RUN AROUND BEING MAD CAUSE PEOPLE OTHER THAN BLACKS STILL WANNA CALL US NIGGERS. GOD SEES ALL THIS IGNORANCE AND HE WILL DEAL WIT IT. RUSSELL SIMMONS STATED, HE MADE IT TO WHERE HE IS TODAY, IS BECAUSE HE WENT AROUND WHITES AND DIDN'T LET WHAT THEY SAID OR THOUGHT GET IN THE WAY OF HIS MISSION. IF YOU GO TO WORK AND YOUR BOSS WAS HEARD USING THE WORD NIGGA, WOULD YOU QUIT OR JUST IGNORE IT. YOUR BOSS WILL STILL FEEL HOW HE FEELS AND AIN'T SHIT YOU COULD DO ABOUT IT. AS BLACKS I THINK WE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS TRAIN OF THINGING AND WE CAN FUTHER OURSELVES AS A RACE INSTEAD OF TRYIN TO CONFRONT THIS PROBLEM EVERYTIME WE HEAR THE WORD. ONE WORD CAN NEVER DEFINE A HUMAN, JUST CAUSE ONE RACE PREFERS TO USE IT. PEOPLE WILL ALWAY'S HAVE A CHOICE, THEY COULD SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE! IT'S OK TO AGREE TO DISAGREE HOMIE AND LIKE I SAID YOU MADE SOME GOOD POINTS SON.

They did this same tactic with the Black Panthers and The Brown Berets back in the late 60's and early 70's.

People are still poor in the US, and mainly black people cause niggas dont be knowin about nuthin.
Average hood people dont know about resources that exist. But the powers that be also dont want us to know that kind of stuff. Ghettos are for the "slave classes" cause capitalist societies have to have "master and slave classes". So bascially, and this is not in the least bit racial, if ur not a master, you are a slave. And seeing as how black people in America come from slavery anyway, why not just dump that class on them? Not there is still the ten percent that is doin it, I mean them niggas is super rich and the whole nine, but there is still thirty something percent of us that is poor and livin in the ghetto of the city, or a rural ghetto, which is even worse cause its boring as fuck. So I guess im just sayin, A MOVIE AINT FINNA MAKE NOBODY DO ANYTHING THEY WASNT PLANNING ON DOING ALREADY. A movie just might push you over the edge and put that battery in ya back, but its still just a movie at the end of the day. So the head honcho dude hatin on TI's movie is just a hater.
People hate young people in general; but they hate the young black youth even more.
But also you gotta watch for "your own",cause niggas will come at you sidewayz 100% more times than a white dude would. Truthfully, and you Kufi-wearin ass niggas will hate this shit, but white people for the most part are super polite and pleasant. White people pose no threat whatsoever. For example, if ur at a white people suburban party, its drunk white bitches everywhere tryin to give some dome, and whiteboyz passin you joints and bongs every 10 minutes. But!!! if ur at the hood party, every person you dont know is going to automatically assume ur from the enemy hood. Hoppin on niggas bitches will make niggas wanna fight, and even if ur not involved, somebody will catch the fade by the end of the night.

Posted by: monique martin at March 27, 2006 10:18 AM

The Klan hates niggaz, The Nazi's hate niggaz, whites hate niggaz, and most of all NIGGAZ HATE NIGGAZ. They made it that way (Willie Lynch) so they already know that when we have a black movie opening that targets a young black audience, chances are high that niggaz will inflict some kind of violence on another nigga. But movies of this nature will become abundant due to the success of Hustle and Flow and the fact that you can't beat the money it takes to make it compared to the money it brings in.

We hate each other, simple as that, and when white folks call us on it we get upset and call them racist.

A white man can critisize a white movie, musician, or actor and stick to the facts of the material that's being critiqued. Niggas critisize our own shit with biased opinions of the person (not the material at hand) hence, the term hate.

Whenever a movie with rappers come out there's gonna be controversy, I would'nt doubt if the letter was sent out of spite, because U know them crackers think armageddon is coming when Blacks get 2gether, so they stir up shit like this letter business.

Uncle Cracker,
U're right about the funeral deal, I remember at my friend's mother's funeral, one of my other friends showed up with his new girlfriend, and when the mother of his kids seen this she went ballistic on the chick, and 2 this day, she feels as if she accomplished something, my people, pathetic.

Shakeem,

The the only part the movie will play in the violence is it give a bunch of ignorant black male that are obsessed with being a ganster together in a centralized place. Just read some to the comment from the these blogs and you will obviously see pure ignorance from young black male. If niggas stop showing their ignorant ass every where the fucking go this blog subject would be necessary. That fact is a lot of young black males are so caught up in being a thug, ganster, and a pimp that they make it bad on everyone else.

Posted by: KING KONG at March 29, 2006 10:23 AM

Well i feel like this. People kill one another day to day. its the circle of life. But if someone of any race gets under your skin that bad that you must terminate there precious life than there is something wrong with you. The Lord made all of our lives and each one sufficant and everyway. if you dont believe me then why hasnt man learned to create skin, muscles, a brain, ect. Artifical intelliegence does not count. But anyways If you feel as though you must kill someone and than you have an illness. and thats the truth. Racism will be around forever until EVERYONE is mixed up. And as things are looking now, in the year 2020 a mexican will be president. Then what are the white people going do. cant kill everybody. Sad to say but the whites will be the minority soon. lol white people scared.

Posted by: Ashley at March 31, 2006 08:56 AM

Take some responsibility for the black race. Everyone acts two ways. Either it's some minor cross section of the black community that pulls this shit or there is no violence and people are craxy to think there will be. Either way, you've washed your hand of it. These are black movies about black people watched by black people. If someone starts shooting, it's your problem because it makes you look bad as a race. Fix your problem. What is wrong with black men.

Hip hop is the deathnail in the coffin of blacks defeating racsism. Try getting a job while talking or writing like this. You want to be accepted by the higher levels of society and get better jobs, yet you shun acting like part of it in every way you can. Good luck with that brilliant plan. Different and better is a far cry from different and stupid, which is all of the above.

You all latch onto a trend that models itself after ganstas. Think about it. You look up to the most evil thugs in society as if they are great. They rob, kill, and ruin a peacable world. Your mothers must be so proud. Hip hop will always keep you guys down as long as it's associated with criminals. Why don't you get that?

Posted by: Tbone at April 1, 2006 03:51 PM

The only reason I want to see this movie is mainly because I want to see the roller skating in the movie....once I saw the trailer for the movie, I was actually impressed with the previews of the acting and the story line. I do hope that the movie turns out as good as I think it will be. Before Roll Bounce came out, I thought it might not be all that good, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. Of course this movie has all the elements that I feared would be in Roll Bounce....however if the story and the acting are good, then I think it could be a good movie.

About all of this other stuff regarding racism, I want to share my opinion here as a white person who is NOT a racist. I like people of ALL races and do not discriminate against any at all. What bothers me is that I feel that many blacks are more racist against whites. A lot of black people look at me like I am their enemy and have a snear on their face, when in fact I haven't done anything to them. I feel like I have to smile even harder than I normally do to get across the fact that I do accept and don't hate people of other races. I live in a nearly all black neighborhood presently and none of the black people even talk to us, except for our next door neighbors and they don't even really talk to us, it is more like a distant wave and an occasional "hi, how ya doin'?" maybe a few times a year. Because of the way we feel about how we are perceived and the neighborhood....we can't wait to move just so we can actually enjoy where we live. Ever felt out of place? That is how I feel when I go to certain places right here in the neighborhood where I live. I will not change the fact that I am not a racist, I will never change my mind about that (I am a Christian too), but I would love to see more black people actually treating some of us white people like people and not a race. I personally have never done anything wrong to a black person, however I am made to feel like I am a bad person just because I am white and not black by black people.

Let me clarify that not all black people give me this feeling, some of my best interaction and acquaintances are with friendly black people who talk to me as a "person". Just today I spent much time with two nice black ladies at the roller skating rink and we even had honest conversations that regarded black vs. white and roller skating and our misconceptions that we all had about each other in the past, it was a very breathtaking conversation. I think afterwards, we all felt good about being able to talk frankly and honestly about what we thought and felt......and we just plain had fun. Of course we had fun talking but we also had fun skating together too. :) So when I nice white person who loves and does not hate sees you, you might just smile back at them......we do notice! AND it makes a HUGE difference in how we feel.

Posted by: anonymous white person at April 1, 2006 11:53 PM

Just read an article in my local paper (Cincinnati) about a fight/shooting last night at a local theater. The movie was ATL. Not being a huge movie buff, I decided to go on my computer and google ATL to see what it was about. Isn't it ironic that the first site that comes up is this one where people are debating whether or not a warning of the probabilty of serious violence is racially motivated! Please take your head out of your ass and realize the truth - for whatever reason there IS violence. Don't blame those who tried to warn you.

Posted by: anonymous in cincy at April 2, 2006 11:29 AM

All of you idiots whining about racism and the white man and this and that - just be aware that we see all that for the bulls**t it is these days. Listen up, so far there's been a fatal shooting AND a full scale gang war at this movie, just as expected. And then there was shootings at fitty cents movie last year. you expect us not to notice these things and censor our own thoughts out of some dumb, nonsensical adherence to the laws of political correctness - but very few people actually do.

Those of you who are whining that "the white man just hates anything black people do" - get real, idiots. We just hate THAT side of black thug culture, and you know it. EVERYBODY hates that side of black thug culture, except black thugs themselves and a few misguided whiggers. Talking about the violence this movie will bring (HAS brung) is not an attack on the black race, it's an attack on that sociopathic element of black thug culture. Black people have SIX times more chance of being murdered than white people, and that culture is directly responsible for this. Let's all just cut the crap and think things through OBJECTIVELY.

We as black people need to stop lying to ourselves. We ALL know that everytime black people get together some violence goes down. Black people are always fighting each other, their always shooting or jumping each other and sometimes we joke about it amongist ourselves BUT as soon as someone from a different race notices it and says "Hey", then we get all defensive. When was the last time you when to a black club were niggaz wasn't fighting? When was the last time you when to a black pinic in the park and niggaz didn't act up? when was the last time you when down to a black spring break and didn't see black chics pulling they weave out? c'mon y'all.

To willy

"so far there's been a fatal shooting AND a full scale gang war at this movie, just as expected. And then there was shootings at fitty cents movie last year."


Your right, my people brag about doing the bad shit they do, but when somebody else says something their their like," we just playing". Look at the black kids that blog on this website....its gangster this, gangster that. I don't sugarcoat anything. I tell other people (non-black) just to stay away from black culture period! I know this white chic that likes black guys and she trys to be "down" with the culture. I told her to chill out with that shit befor eyou end up how black women are!

First she'll cut off all her hair and stick weave in instead. Then she'll try to "talk" like black girls and subject herself to them. Then shes so wanting to be "down" she'll start fucking alot of niggaz until she gets preganat. Now she don't even know who the father is.<------sound familar? Then over time she'll let the black communtiy (niggaz) drag her down. Black people drag black people down, you don't think they won't do it to anybody else? so, later she'll have 5 kids from diffrent niggaz, on welfare and not giving a fuck, living at one of her babys-daddy's momma's house. terible credit. driving a broke 86' regal. Then she'll try to feel better about heself and buy more weave and get those ugly-ass ghetto tatoos covering all her arms and tits.

^^^all this would have been avoided if she would have john instead Damarquiseanquan Williams or some shit.

So i tell other people to be careful dealing with black folks. They think we live like our rap-videos.

I live in Cincinnati, OH. This movie was shown at one of the large local theatres in an upscale area of Northern Kentucky. The movie brought out rival gangs which cause fights and reported gunfire in the theatre. People need to stop acting out what they see on TV and in the movies and start thinking for themselves instead of being lemmings and proving stereotypes correct.

Instead of a blog asking whether violence will break out, you should just list an arrest and body count. We can all just guess the days number. Was it ever really a question?

Posted by: bnil at April 4, 2006 10:25 AM

Okay i agree with some of the stuff that was said about african american people always having problems and breaking out their frustrations into fights.But also you have to think about some of the positive things blacks try to do also and the "whites critics" seem to always put a steriotype on it on the sly. Like T.I. coming out with a movie all of his own do you think other people that arent from our race wanna see that sh*t hel naw they dont because they already got their minds made up who we are, what we do and they dont even understand where were coming from and live with from day to day. So with all these problem matters being laid on the table yes blacks need to stop using violence all the damn time but hey you gotta understand why its like that first to begin criticize dont get me wrong there are some evil ass people out there who like to start unessasary bullsh*t and thats messed up they need to check themselves but to blacks who are trying to make it out and still keeping it real dont knock them cause you aint gone find 2 many people like that and quit hatin (damn!).

The fact of the matter is in today's culture many black people are using the term 'racism' as an excuse to do whatever they want and not have to feel responsible for their actions. Also there is a lot of hypocrisy in today's black culture. For instance, black hip hop moguls are the first to open clothing lines. Those clothing lines are using sweat shops in 3rd world countries where the workers are treated like shit and paid barely enough to survive. Sean John clothing in Honduras is one of the worst in the World.

It is no different then what the Europeans were doing with slavery here in the US. They didn’t care how the workers were treated they just cared about cheap labor and profits. The lessons of history sure are short when the table is turned?

I think most people (black and white) are tired of hearing the crap about 'racism'. If you go to ATL you will see that many blacks are actually educated executives. So there is no excuse except ignorance. So many black people have cultivated a culture they can be proud of. The rest are just using excuses (generally framed as 'racism') to not have to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. The quicker they can realize this, the quicker they can start to fix the real problem and quit trying to blame everyone but themselves.

Black people are really pitiful. This movie didn't cause violence but two men were killed after viewing this movie. A man in Minnesota was killed and a teenage boy in Chicago was killed. Just like niggas to prove white folks and law abiding black folks right.

Sometimes we as African Americans should do our own investigating before we allow the media to control what we believe about our own young men and women. You are absolutly right about gun violence, but please understand that what happened in Riverdale Park was not the work of "Gangs" as plastered all over the news and news papers, but one or two irresponisble young men. If you look back in history as far as it was written you will find a number of articles that slander blacks and convince society that we are animals. The best way to prevent gun violence in our community is to band together and teach of young men and women. We should band together as a community and protect them not attack them as the media would like. After all, like it or not they are our future and without them there is no us. ATL was a very good film that depicted life as some of us may know it, and in my opinion it seemed to be a positive film if more young people listened to the message it sent out.
