Why so Anti-White and Anti-Male?

Spoken like a true liberal. So smart and intellectual but wrong. As always.
If you don't think colleges are breeding grounds for anti-anything right of Mao or Stalin, you obviously aren't paying much attention.
I could bore you with unlimited google links of complete rubbish being taught at schools, anti-American studies, etc., but I think its important to know why.
Why? Because its staffed with flaky liberals.
Who do they vote for? 96% of them voted for Obama-tell me you're shocked.

Staffed by the same people like these tolerant and compassionate liberals here who cant hide their hatred for anyone that disagrees with them. Liberals that will champion a movie about racism all while seething hatred and spewing bile towards anyone that votes differently from them.
Public dollars should be removed from these colleges that go out of their way to show how bad they hate America..er, 'embrace diversity'.
Pathetic. But you keep telling us how hateful, stupid, inbred, and worthless all the common proles beneath you are. You're probably a 'distinguished Academic' im guessing -

Are conservatives now so desperate to pick post-election fights that they have to rant and rave in response to IMDB posts from over 5 years ago about a film that is now 17 years old? That's downright sad. What sort of anti-liberal post quota are you dealing with, anyway?

Staffed with Flakly liberals?
NO, absolutely not. The difference between a conservative and a liberal is that a conservative looks for a strongman to follow. They want strict order and an authoritarian head and want to preserve a statusquo of "us over them," whomever "them" may be.
Remember how "Un-Patriotic and Un-American" it was to question the president under Bush? Hotlines to call in and report people the questioned the wars?
He was the strong man and the conservatives jumped blindly to an "us over them," frame of thought.
Liberals are more reasoned, they aren't looking for strict order and they reject the concept of a strongman. They want to see the data and make a decision on the facts, not just follow the leader.
That is all higher learning is, teaching people to draw conclusions from raw data. And draw their own conclusions.
Drawing your own conclusions is the counter opposite of calling people "Un-Patriotic and Un-American" for questioning the president.
That's why the American and French Revolutions started in institutes of higher learning, as well as almost every other revolution. It's where people learn to question.
And if you don't like to question authority, everyone that does is going to look extremely far left to you.

i love this film and i think that this post is excellent. all those knocking it are taking it far too literally. i believe that these events could occur at university although probably not all at the same university.
also in reference the the person who said the film is racist against whites, what about ice cube and busta rhymes? they were made out to be massive beep
the film was just showing the extremes or society and culture and the way in which people cope with living within these extremes. -

It's no problem when John Singleton makes movies about all black men shooting, killing, dope dealing, etc. It isn't until he show whites in a negative light, that everyone comes out to say how racist, unfair and unrealistic it is. Hell, not all black people kill each and get food stamps in the mail as a way of life, but I don't complain if someone makes a movie saying they do, because I'm smart enough to know that a movie is just thata fiction movie, baring no real facts about all people of one particular race. I've been black for nearly 34 years and have never sold drugs, used drugs, been to jail, been knocked up as a teenager, collected welfare, or anything else the media considers as "black culture." See, I'm used to my people being accused of everything negative. Apparently, white people are not. The funny part is, I see just as many whites on American's Most Wanted, Forensic Files, and other crime shows. Yet, on a IMDB forum, I see a lot of you "pretending" that you don't.

Exactly! Well said, I agree. That's why I'm positive that caucasian raters were offended with the stereotypes and rated the movie low, not because the movie wasn't entertaining but because they felt like they were misrepresented by John Singleton.

Are you implying that college-aged females, blacks, Jews and Latinos were accurately represented in this film? Ugh!
But I'll give him credit for depicting a fairly accurate assessment of a college campus frat-house rape.
Aye. The haggis is in the fire for sure. -

That's true, DA8653. There were pretty significant parts in this film as well. Like the white man who becomes a skinhead(Nazi). His suicide was compared to how Hitler died. I thought about that, too.
Still I didn't think the producers and writers were trying to make this realistic either. It's just many problems that America has come face to face on (Racism, Feminism, Nazi, and Homosexuality) in one college.
If you don't believe homosexuality is in this movie, watch this movie through every minute, especially during the ceremony at the end of the movie. -

This movie was full of stereotypes. Not only were all White men blond bullies (except for the token sensitive guy with long brown hair and cheekbones) and all the White women blond and nasty (except for the token lesbian with long brown hair and cheekbones), but the Latino student fell asleep in class, Asian women clung timidly to each other as they went to the laundry and Jewish student acted like bad imitations of Miles Silverberg in Murphy Brown. For all his exhortations to 'Unlearn,' Singleton really dropped the ball with this one, perpetuating more stereotypes than he debunked.
