I\u2019M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKER-PUNCH<\/span>: So I went in to Black Caesar<\/span> thinking it would be your typical blaxploitation fare: a social consciousness, definitely, but mostly just righteous fun. Friday Foster<\/span> for dudes.<\/p>\n Do not do this<\/span>, people! Good grief. Black Caesar is a terrific movie, but it is a real punch in the face. The racism depicted is brutal and nearly constant, and although the devastation criminal activity causes in families can be seen in a lot of blaxploitation movies (like Foxy Brown<\/span>) it seemed especially raw and painful here. This left me feeling sad and kind of shattered.<\/p>\n Again: It\u2019s a great movie. But wow<\/span>, like reaching in for your Cracker Jack prize and getting your hand chewed off.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKER-PUNCH: So I went in to Black Caesar thinking it would be your typical blaxploitation fare: a social consciousness, definitely, but mostly just righteous fun.
