10/10 movie. Watched it last week.
I haven't seen it yet. With that being said, a friend of mine, who is in the Nation, said movie made Malcolm look weak. Did anybody else feel that way?
Well..... she was the daughter of Florence....I mean Mary first
Brenda wasn't really a hood rat or was she? 
I loved it but my people all said this very thing. They HATED the fact that this portrayal made him look weak....They hated the story line between him and Sam because they said it made him look petty. They thought it was a denigration of strong Black male figures that we look up to.
I thought it made him look human.
I did too but we’re all entitled to our opinions. It definitely made him look human to me too.
My people were like fuck that be more human noise....They argued that white heroes don't generally get that treatment.
agreed. Did not get weakness at all but we did get to see him vulnerable with his friends
