No the movie just shows the side of Black folks that think differently than this: MLK is a hero not a hoe, Rosa was THE First/Brainchild/All hail Rosa, YAAAAAAY Jesse even though you have a baby mama and really don't do much than rhyme when you talk.
Essentially the movie showed that not all Black folks love and admire MLK, Rosa, and JEsse. Ced's character only spoke what at least 2 other Black folks have thought in the past 50 years or so. So what there was a WHITE director?!!?!
No one raised cane over all the Master P movies. No one wanted to edit out the parts that glorify drug use and misogyny. Like others will say, this is a movie that reflects what goes on in our world or at least part of it. No 2 Black folks shared the same experiences. No 2 Black folk feel the exact same way about JEsse, Martin, or Rosa. The movie shows that the barbershop is a place where folks can go and express themselves and be heard even if they are heard no where else in our world.
I still say Jesse JAckson's wife has taken that whole stand by your man isht a little too far. IMO I don't know how supporting I could be about him.
I need for JEsse to inprove education, improve TEACHER's salaries, improve housing conditions, get all of these schools out of mobile classrooms. . . then maybe I won't LMAO @ the F*CK Jessee scene, til then **giggle giggle** **chuckle* *snicker** *belly laugh**
Oh and if they do have en edited version on DVD, I really will boycott some body. BOOOOO HISS!!
