What is representative of black people's experience? Are 'hood films the only types of films that speak for us and to us? Is there one genre of film that CAN speak for us all and to us all? I certainly don't feel that the majority of the films WE make popular necessarily speak to my reality or speak for me...

Well, there are many who would probably disagree with you...

But the world does not revolve around one, now does it? Even though we would like it to...So, I would imagine that it would be hard for EVERYONE to become completely satisfied...

Not to go back and forth, but I never said that 'hood films were the only ones that speak to us or for us, but these brothers are making their films. They are doing a whole lot more than some people who are not doing anything but talking ya ya! If one does not like what is being made...go out and make what "YOU" want to skee!
