Now it’s every neighborhood every town. All our homes are rental companies and no one can afford shit. Owning land is more important than most people realize. It’s everything. Keeps us from being servants.
@@NYRyder1983 Maybe that was the neighborhood Dozer came from. :) Be cool if they did a prequel of Morpheus of his journey to taking the red pill and becoming Morpheus.
Laurence Fishburne is a gifted actor, Furious is one of his best characters. He’s speaking the truth. Even as a white man, that grew up in the hood, Furious really reminds me of my dad. I got lucky. We didn’t have much, but I had good parents. My cousins lived down the block and had only a mom that was a terrible and selfish role model. Both of them have been incarcerated more than they have been free…. Bad situation but they definitely had people and support to help guide them the right way and they made the choices to do wrong. It’s sad the way they grew up, they will do anything to survive, because that’s all they know. Spread love and knowledge and experiences, over violence and gain over material objects. I promise you the system is a trap.
John Singleton and Spike Lee were before "their" time!! Both of them sent this message but we didn't listen and Gentrification rolled up like a bad storm!!
Notice how the rest of the neighborhood comes up to listen to Furious. Even though some ask the hard questions you can see how intrigued the community is on subjects like property value, economy and gentrification. Always felt like this was a positive but realistic portrayal of impoverished communities. There is willingness to learn and be educated but only from someone who can completely relate to them and the lives they live.
1:00 while true, people are still choosing to participate in the activity. You don’t have to sell drugs, don’t have to let your ego get you into these life or death situations. Discipline and restraint go a long way.
That’s why Ive always disliked this scene. So what if someone else brings in drugs? Are you helpless to the “temptation” or selling them. It’s completely void of self accountability and frankly quite insulting
@@heir_to_the_promise You seem just as crazy with that remark to my sarcastic comment about a movie that is based on real life in the '90s and is still relevant to present times. You did your best bud.
Message is true but the economics hasnt aged well. Nobody making less than 6 digits nowadays can afford their own house anywhere. socioeconomics and Class struggle is not a race issue.
I feel like this was a liberal viewpoint, though in context, I understand Furious to some decree. This isn't the worst. Anyways, the guns are not the problem. It's the people who use it for bad - criminals - that are the problem
You are a liberal by definition. I doubt you know what that word means, but American "conservatives" are liberals. Besides that, you seemed to miss his point completely, but let's not even go there, that's probably a bit of an ambitious leap for you. Just right off the bat, you think that selling more guns and liquor in impoverished areas already facing chronic lawlessness and gang violence will ultimately be constructive? If so, you're a mental midget who should be flushed down the toilet to help nature make its selections. If not, I am morbidly curious about the logic led you to this conclusion.
Furious is incorrect. You cant force the price of a house down and then just make it go up. Price goes down because of crime. It may go back up again depending on benefits of location and crime going down. There are no outside forces manipulating a single neighborhoods price value other then the community itself.
You're wrong. There are tons of ways to influence real estate values. Lack of infrastructure, lack of maintenance, lack of development (via withholding tax incentives or enforcing strict zoning/construction policies), locating undesirable projects in the area (methadone clinics, landfills, rail lines, etc.) Anyone with a cursory, legitimate understanding of the anthropology of the US in the 19th and 20th centuries understands that the US are experts at this. When land values of minorities grew too much, the governments resorted to stealing land. Sometimes via eminent domain and sometimes by lynching or murdering the owners. This is all documented historical fact. Don't' expect to learn about it in public school, though.

Morpheus in the Hood...:) Just needed the red and the blue pill...What if I told you...lol
That was Morpheus before he becomes Morpheus.
Only he was more the ass-kisser to whites here. He got more Rodney King-hating

LEGENDARY 'CRAZY GRADY!❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Furious was saying this like thirty three years ago,in he was right.
😂😂😂😂
Thank you, John Singleton. I wonder what kind of mentors he had in his life.
Gun and liquor store owners only set up shop where the business is, its up to the people not to buy in. Can't blame business owners.
this is going on everywhere on a larger scale

What he was saying is we are less than 15% of the population - Most of the drug dealers are not people of color but we are the face of the dope game
Exactly, wouldn't be a liquor/gun store on every corner if there weren't paying customers for them.
@@logicplague White people buy more liquor and guns than anyone however

"You big dummy!" 🤣
This is more true today's society!
Balls out in Compton Furious Styles
Southern LA is a cesspool in this country. Why is it that the majority of the crime comes from there?? Answer that, Mr. Styles.
You’d have to ask John Singleton. He wrote the script. You’re speaking to a make-believe character. You seem crazy.

Love for Denzel but Lawrence should have portrayed Malcolm X...
I could see that.

What do you think facilitates the crime?
@@MEDZ02 the liquor stores, drugs, gun stores etc.... lack of opportunities, untreated mental health, lack of fathers.
