I don’t have to do nothing but be black and die!

Lean on Me.

I liked this movie. It’s one of those good feeling be better than everyone thinks that you can be type of movies. Like stand and deliver but blacker.

I am going to shoot out a warning to all of you.  THIS MOVIE IS RACIST. The reason? The high school in the film, Eastside High, in 1967 was the best school in the state. They had maybe one black student but two black teachers. 20 years later the school had become the worst school in the state. They had maybe 10 white students.  Do you see what I mean now about it being racist? It would appear that they are insinuating that the ratio of black to white kids directly affects the academic performance of the school. I kindly disagree. I’m not racist and feel that race has nothing to do with how well a school will perform.

Moving on with the movie. So this school went from best to worst like I said and they decide to get a new principal, Morgan Freeman, who we will call crazy Joe for the remainder of the blog. He is B A. He take absolutely no crap from anyone and lays it out like it is. His job is to turn the school around and make sure that the students pass the basic skills test.

He cleans up the school and expels all of the problem students that are the bullies and drug dealers and such and goes to town on the remaining kids and tells them to be smarter or die. Well not die but be smarter or not have a cool school anymore.

He does his job and everyone goes home happy. Except this one mouthy beast woman who tries to get crazy Joe fired.

The acting  in this movie is really well done and I think it really showcases crazy Joe’s talent. He’s awesome and really awesome in this movie.

I recommend that everyone sees this movie prior to their imminent demise. It’s worth it. You can come over and watch it with us, we’d be happy to have you over.

Well I think that this is it for this post. If you read this post, please comment or at least like it so we know that we’re doing this for a reason other than to take up space on the internet. Please. Seriously, we need some validation here.

Thanks everyone… or thanks to you the one person that reads this. We love you.
