I’m getting Uncle Ruckus vibes from the “Black Republican” 🤷🏽♂️. He was going to the “Million Man March” to profit off black folks even though he looked at his own ppl as the scum of the earth. The brother wasn’t stating “Facts”. He needed an enema because he was full of it. I was a senior in High School in 95-96 I remember the main focus of the march being “Atonement” and repairing the black family & community. However, looking back the brothers & sisters didn’t know that after they returned to their community’s both the republicans and democrats would screw over the black community by way of gentrification, eminent domain, redistricting (voting districts) incarceration laws & privatization.
My grandmother always say that a "Black republican is worse than a dog who eat his own vomit then take a crap then turn around and eat it" . I will not mention what she say about a black democrat because it's worse!
He had good points but when he said racism was a figment of a black man imagination. His views went like him out the bus. This argument is still going on to this day !!!
He was right though. 🤷🏾♂️ Try arguing its existence and I can argue how the concept of ‘race’ isn’t even scientifically accurate - therefore it is a figment of the imagination. *You gotta learn to listen to what’s being said, Shamar… not your feelings.*
Colin Powell made it inspite of racism because he never allowed anything to stop him. He's considered an underdog and everyone respects an underdog. Out of your own mouth should teach you a valuable lesson about letting go of this woe is me attitude. Be willing to suffer for what you desire and that is to overcome all of the odds.
What a Serious problem Not knowing how Important your Words are! Think Ozzie, had a Thought provoking question!!! After Wendell heard Ozzie, that was the time to think !
I don’t claim any political party, but this was definitely a one-sided, groupthink, generalized perspective on the “Black Republican” in America. Not all Black Republicans are like the bigoted clown in this scene. Though, one thing that I’m sure Black Republicans do agree with as far as this character, is the uselessness in blaming White’s for their problems or depending on White’s for their solutions. I respect Spike Lee as a filmmaker and a writer, and I actually liked this film, but It’s disappointing that he didn’t allow the character written for this particular scene, to be more nuanced and balanced.
As a black Republican, I agree that we don’t blame white people for our problems. Booker T. Washington(A black Republican) spoke about not blaming other people in his book, “Up From Slavery.” I’m currently reading this book. 1861-1938, most black Americans, including Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass were Republicans.

Well, that’s where the character of Kyle comes in. I think it was bold to have a gay Black Republican on the bus. The Wendell character is exactly what the others called him. An Uncle Tom.
But, the problem was he kept on making it as if black people who didn't share his POV were all the same and that other black people were shiftless, lazy and nothing but complainers. Plus, he was using the n-word in the same tone a racist would use it (no I don't agree with using it as a term of endearment). Also, he tried to dismiss that racism didn't exist anymore because some of them had made it. Isiah Washington even had to check him despite the fact his character was a fellow black Republican.
@@acosiak6191 Another point I forgot to mention in my OP, he also wasn't going to The March for the love of the community; he was going there for the love of the buck. He was being an opportunist. Also, Charles Dutton's character risked his job so he can ride on the bus and he was sitting up throwing Farrakhan, Jessie and the whole community under the bus (no pun intended). Also, he made a lot of ignorant assumptions about the other brothers on the bus. Even Isiah Washington's character, who was also a Black Republican, had to check him.
@@dantegood2195 Yes, racism isn’t real. Bigotry is real but the concept of ‘race’ isn’t scientifically accurate and thus ‘racism’ is a figment of the imagination. You would think Blacks would have figured this out by now, but niggas love to be ignorant, it would seem. 🤦🏾♂️
Ya'll notice Wendell usually play the "house negro" roles? He also played Clarence Thomas. This is a great Father's day movie for our brothers. I saw this when it first aired in 1996.
The sad part is Wendell was right 🤷🏾♂️ sorry to be a jerk but facts are facts - I have an uncle who is just like this and he helped push me, my brother and sister forward without blaming whites for our problems.

HE WAS 100% RIGHT THOUGH. This scene proves that the majority of Black Americans listen & think with their emotions rather than with logic (Which is how the majority of women operate.) Now the "racism isn't a factor" thing was not valid but it doesn't refute the 99% of everything else he was saying.
But, he also put down the other black men in a degoratory way. He made as if they were all the same just because they didn't share his views. Also, some people in other groups listen with their emotions rather than logic. Did the January 6 crowd listen with logic, or did they think with their emotions? Not every black person that doesn't align themselves with Republicans are lazy, shiftless, ignorant, liberals and/or complainers wanting a handout.
@@rabekagshakur7476 Phi beta kappa is based on academic achievement, and is not limited to African American membership. It's like the National Honor Society in high school. It is not boulé.
I wouldn't go to Spike Lee for a proper representation of what a Black Republican is. All you'll get are caricatures . Can't even ride a bus with one for 10 minutes before he tosses him out like Uncle Phil did Jazzy Jeff. I was a freshman in college when this came out and even though I didn't ditch the Left until 20 years later, I knew bruh was kicking facts and that Spike was on some cornball sht with that character. Trust me, there's more of us than you think now. More than even what those polls tell you.
That character sounds tame next to famous black conservatives like Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, Terrance Williams, etc etc. Entry into the white nationalist club of the GOP demands hatred and derision towards black people. Period.
My guess is that while Wendell was indeed a black Republican, the main purpose of his role in the bus was to show the concept of a self hating character who exploits his own for personal gain and tries to make himself look grander than what he really is. Especially since he takes pride in graduating from a mainstream college as opposed to an HBCU.
Right. Nearly 30 years later, majority democrat leadership since and look at the state of affairs….remember folks crying when Biden got in? “Stroll to the polls” all that stepping and embarrassing acts, “if you don’t vote for me then you ain’t B”…. What did we have to lose? Look how worse off We are now then not too long ago that’s just a fact
I thought it was great dialog....but one thing that always puzzled me: he's got a lexus dealership......and he needs to ask for a ride on a BUS to get to D.C.?
He went wrong when he started making the black community a monolith just because they didn't share his views. He thought he was special and better than the brothers on the bus just because he was a black Republican. Just like some black Republicans have that mindset now. And, he was definitely wrong for saying that racism is a figment of black people's imagination when it still exists. Even Isiah Washington's character had to check him on that, even though he was a black Republican himself.
@@Carolina_girl86 More right then wrong. 30 years later, what We got from the million man march? It was a show that’s it. Chicago a straight up war zone and that’s the Home of NOI, how does that happen
It's crazy how this movie is almost 30 years old and regarding this dialogue, very little has changed. Some black people have seemingly escaped the democratic plantation, but not many

Phi beta kappa is based on academic achievement, and is not limited to African American membership. It's like the National Honor Society in high school. It is not boulé.

Omega psi phi is a college fraternity.
I wouldn't go to Spike Lee for a proper representation of what a Black Republican is. All you'll get are caricatures . Can't even ride a bus with one for 10 minutes before he tosses him out like Uncle Phil did Jazzy Jeff. I was a freshman in college when this came out and even though I didn't ditch the Left until 20 years later, I knew bruh was kicking facts and that Spike was on some cornball sht with that character. Trust me, there's more of us than you think now. More than even what those polls tell you.
That character sounds tame next to famous black conservatives like Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, Terrance Williams, etc etc. Entry into the white nationalist club of the GOP demands hatred and derision towards black people. Period.
💯
My guess is that while Wendell was indeed a black Republican, the main purpose of his role in the bus was to show the concept of a self hating character who exploits his own for personal gain and tries to make himself look grander than what he really is. Especially since he takes pride in graduating from a mainstream college as opposed to an HBCU.
6:37 ill admit I laughed at the joke
Word up, he cracked me up with that 😂🤣😆😅
And still today nobody WILL realize ....that the guy they threw off of the Bus ....Was Right all along.
Right. Nearly 30 years later, majority democrat leadership since and look at the state of affairs….remember folks crying when Biden got in? “Stroll to the polls” all that stepping and embarrassing acts, “if you don’t vote for me then you ain’t B”….
What did we have to lose? Look how worse off We are now then not too long ago that’s just a fact
Not entirely. He crossed some lines.
@@onlyone23km he was a lot more right than wrong
@@thetraveler1182 what really messed him up was the HBCU slander and smack talking the rest of the bus.
@@onlyone23km HBCU's was created by white men
This character is the image of the black republikkkan even in the year 2022.
awesome films
Everything bro said was real AF, he was abrasive and an ass about it, but right.
I thought it was great dialog....but one thing that always puzzled me: he's got a lexus dealership......and he needs to ask for a ride on a BUS to get to D.C.?
This is me at the family reunion lol
Good movie
So great!!!👍🏽 🤩😂
The republican brotha was speaking a lot of truth
Facts
You believe racism is a figment of black people’s imaginations, and we’re a shiftless and lazy lot?
He went wrong when he started making the black community a monolith just because they didn't share his views. He thought he was special and better than the brothers on the bus just because he was a black Republican. Just like some black Republicans have that mindset now. And, he was definitely wrong for saying that racism is a figment of black people's imagination when it still exists. Even Isiah Washington's character had to check him on that, even though he was a black Republican himself.
But it was his approach and demeanor that cost him his bus seat.
@@onlyone23kmin other words, the guys on the bus were sensitive snow flakes right?
Did they give him his refund? Cause he did pay to be on the bus?
He didn’t pay for a ticket. Actually they did that brother a favor and he just decided to spit in their faces
From what I remember, he did offer to pay and he showed the cash.
Really good film, why is it so underrated tho?
Wendell definitely tapped into Uncle Ruckus before Uncle Ruckus 😂
He wasn’t wrong not at all
@@thetraveler1182he was right in a way.
@@Carolina_girl86 More right then wrong. 30 years later, what We got from the million man march?
It was a show that’s it. Chicago a straight up war zone and that’s the Home of NOI, how does that happen
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddd!
classic

Wendell is the exact opposite
Yes, he is. True black empowerment ✊🏾✊🏾
That’s why he deserves props for playing this role!
@@donnac.3273 Right on
@@DeeNice681 Yes
Wtf is wrong with you people even the guy guy was against him after he denied racism you can't just accept a balance
Wendell is celebrating after the Big W against Alabama!!!!
It's crazy how this movie is almost 30 years old and regarding this dialogue, very little has changed. Some black people have seemingly escaped the democratic plantation, but not many
Right smh. I met a Brother like him 20 years ago and woke me all the way up.
Yeah you say you're escaping the Democratic plantation just to go to the Republican plantation
Funny thing there's ALOT of TRUTH in this ... Fantastic film....I remember when it came out...the days of jodeci,Big L..Too Short,Scarface,Ice T...X Klan,brand Nubians,Group home,Ant Banks,Rappin fortay..... Kapppish 🇬🇧🇯🇲❤️💯...God bless the King of RAP .. DADDY U ROY....❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

This was good movie
1:00 - 1:08 sounds about right, concerning HBCUS
I graduated from a juco HBCU. And you’re mistaken.
Wendell was making points
This clip still holds up to this day You good n my book bro power to the Republicans
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Household film in my family!!!!!!!!
Wendell complaining now about racism keeping him from getting a nyc apt
20 years later, Louis Farrakhan would praise Donald Trump, so there you go.
You’re kidding, right? He praised Donald?!
Candace Owens father
We all know he would have voted for trump
As opposed to that bum Clinton?
Trump 2024
I didn't vote for dump trump the first time or 2024 this year either 😂. He is racist, fat, wanna be dictator
wendell was right 25 years later 😂😂😂😂
Is this the name of the movie
When did the Movie come out ? The Bus
"Get On The Bus" came out in 1996.
