      Friday is one of the most exloitive ignorant portrayal of black people. Not the killing . That was a smoke screen. To create a positive image of ghetto life. Though the homes were nice abides. Now on menace two society. Those were real project ghettos. But that's another story. He played a very simple minded ignorant character. Wit a bad heart attack diet. Pig feet . Fried chicken ECT really ?? Save another Friday. We can due without. Time to grow up & become the master civilized people we truly are. We can still make it very funny. But leave a message of care & economic self sufficient. Baby boy touched this subject. Melvin owning his own business. That says a lot. And it sends a positive sign to the viewer. A since of self economic development. Get my point. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤔 Tachalla.

But apparently that movie made 300 million overtime and they all had contracts that they signed. So in some ways he wasn’t in control of the finances until the second one came out.
