good movie on the black culture?
 

it turns out i will be interacting with a couple black people - one male, one female at work as part of a ig project. i guess that's not too unusual for most people, but for me, having grown up in an upper class environment, i have had alwmost no dealings with black people in a social or professional way (except store clerks, etc.)

so i was wanting to educate myself on the black experience with a book or movie/documentary - i prefer the latter. but when i think of black lifestyle movies, it's all about gang bangers and rap stars. these people i will be dealing with are more normal middle class people who went to college, live in the suburbs, etc. so are there any movies on this class of black people that would help me?

Black women like to be called "bitch" or "ho." Black men like to be called the n-word or "dawg." They'll feel more comfortable if you have a handgun visibly tucked into your waistband when you meet with them. Say "word" a lot, for emphasis. Denigrate "the man." Wear as much flashy jewelry (call it "bling") as you can marshall. A polemic about the inadequate investigation of Biggie's murder would not be out of place.

Other than that, just pretend that they're normal people like you. Hope this helps.
