DoggyStyle82, I agree with you. Although the movie is a cute and entertaining concept, I also feel it is a dangerous one. I am curious as to how the Drop Squad would determine the African-American "ideal." And who has the right to impose his or her opinion of that "ideal" on anyone else? The definition of a sell-out is a very subjective thing. Not to mention, some people have such a warped sense of what it is to be African-American. These days "being down" and "keeping it real" has taken on such twisted definitions. Heck, many of us on this board may be considered sell-outs, in certain circles, for various reasons (like the way we speak, where we live, where we shop, where we work, our political affiliations, where we chose to go to school, or because we chose to go to school, etc.) Personally, the way my people have been screwing up lately, I wouldn't trust not a one with this job.
And let us not forget that back in the day a Drop Squad was formed, but THEY decided to call it the KKK.
