CLaSSiC!!!

On Saturday night what was on the tube? A classic for all of us from the early eighties and late 70´s ,,Boys n da hood!!! Its crazy when I watch this movie how many stars in the making was in this one movie back then hardly known to the public ,,such as , Cuba Gooding Jr, Morris Chestnut, Nia Long , Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne and Ice Cube to name the main characters!!
This movie believe it or not had so many messages for youth that still applies today!
From single moms trying to raise their sons , Fathers showing their sons how to grow and with respect ,,How certain areas and neighbourhoods are treated like they dont excist to the rest of the world and gives no hope for the youth of those communities to feel that there is a way out.
I mean to me the parts that stand out the most in this movie are

• When Laurence Fishburn talks to the community about crack and how it was brought in by the government from different countries to be supplied in the ghetto's to kill people
  
• Also when he speaks to the youth in compton about them killing each other and thats how the american people would want them to do
  
• When Ice Cube says , *Either they dont know , or they dont show , Or just dont care about whats going on in the hood*
  
• When Cuba gets stopped by the police and a black police officer not only calls him the N* word but points a gun at his head and says it would be better w less of them around , u see the racism within the same communities
  
• Mainly what I love in this movie is the message of friendship no matter how hard your living situation may be they are always there for eachother , The bond between a man and his son and the responsibility needed for a boy to have both parents in their life
  
• Finally Angela Bassett said it best when she tells Laurence her ex husband while leaving her son for him to take care of , that she can take care of her baby and teach him all she knows ,,But she can't teach him how to be a MAN
