Hmmmm?
What I find interesting from the trailer is that the young man does not have ANY heritage to any fraternal organization. Meaning, going away to a small college is his first exposure to the BGLO's System. And he makes a decision to join an organization and take them to the Step Show Championships.
Now, my question is who on this movie is actively part of an NPHC organization. And somehow, this aspect of African American life was "greenlighted by the Hollywood 3 Wise Men"... So, somebody high up must have given the screenplay a chance...
I expect that the movie will be just like everyone says above, but the D9 will have some re-grouping to do. I'd say we all need to go back to our respective communities and proactively make efforts to work with whatever happens to this kind of movie...
It feels like we will be "selling ourselves out again", like how our elders lost "rock and roll"...
