there seems to be a problem with the comments made by the Eddie character in the movie Barbershop. several people are calling for a boycott. Eddie made comments about Jesse Jackson, MLK, OJ, Rodney King, and Rosa Parks. I was taken aback by the comments and thought if they weren't there, it would be a GREAT movie. It would be good to see an edited version made of the movie. I did not plan to buy the DVD only because these comments were there.

WARNING! i am listing the comments below and my commentary about them.
1 - "f*ck Jesse Jackson!"
he has been a disappointment to me and a lot more AAs. so, this doesn't bother me.

2 - "MLK is a ho."
this has been rumored for years. no one would have this idea if there wasn't any validity to it. this doesn't bother me either.

3 - "OJ did it."
i think all of America believes OJ did it, so again, this doesn't bother me.

4 - "He was drunk and should have stayed at home."...or something like that.
this statement on Rodney King is true, BUT that doesn't give the police a right to abuse him. this is foul and should not be uttered by a black person. Total disgrace.

5 - "She did start the movement, but all she did was sit down."
Rosa sat in the right place, and didn't get up. The writer of the movie should have to endure life prior to the civil rights movement. i bet his tune would change drastically.


Cedric The Entertainer was on BET Tonight this Monday and tried to clean it up. He wasn't comfortable explaining it.
