I never write anything with the specific intention to offend or unnerve the reader. But when you are committed to candor, it is bound to happen occasionally. The truth is that sometimes when people’s feelings get hurt, their feelings needed to be hurt in order for them to really hear other people. This is probably one of those times.

Breaking down ‘the five movies that fucked up White people’s minds’ is aimed at using movies that everybody has seen and that most people love, to illuminate the mind-fuckery implanted into the subconscious of the dominant culture. Do us both a really big favor and ditch the bitching about “not all White people think that way” upfront. I know that. And every sane Black person knows that. But y’all’s cousins, friends, and co-workers are a trip. So if the analysis below does not apply to you, I’ll bet you my check you know a gang of folks to whom it does.

Keep in mind that many of you asked for this piece after reading “5 Movies That Fucked Up Black People’s Minds.”
