Sorry, this movie sucks

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

8 people living together over a weekend, force the only non-racist member of the group to surrender to their confused ramblings about their racist perspectives on whites, and in turn justifying their stupefying fears of American society. They each speak with the baffling confidence of a historian/ a mind reader/ and king of their respective cultures. I am black (not that it should even matter) and it was brutal to watch them basically brainwash the reason out of a rational person via popular vote. Hard of racism of most moronic expectations.

Disclaimer: I am Christian, white male, and Republican. *spoiler alert*I was studying the MSW program at my University and the Professor had the class watch this video and write a report about it. By the end of the documentary I was so depressed about being white, that I thought what's the point anyway?Here is the conclusion of the documentary, the color of fear is the color of white. If you are white, you cause fear to everyone, and you are also the cause of most of the problems in the world today.This documentary is great if you believe in the social ideals of "white privilege." It is not great if you have pride in the color of your white skin and don't want to be ridiculed over your race, or skin pigment.

I saw this film many years ago and it stands out in my memory as one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I saw it as part of a group discussion on racism and it was a great starting point for discussion after the film. These issues are so complicated and the film shows ways to express mixed feelings, fears, concerns, etc. It's sad to find that so few people have written reviews of this film. It really should be quite well known and used in all adult organizations.... It's probably too advanced or mature for children and young people but perhaps by college age people could relate to it. Thinking about this now makes me want to find a copy of it and buy it to show everyone I know!

If you're looking for discussion material about racism, anti-racism, multiculturalism or something similar, this is a good choice. It's a documentary showing a small group of men openly discussing racism. You can learn from them and then discuss it with your own group. My white male partner was significantly impressed by this movie as he could see himself in one of the characters. It's all men, but I, as a woman, though it was very impressive, too. I highly recommend it. Now I'd like to see the sequel, "Walking Each Other Home".
