      "Say you love the baby, but you crucify the man" sang Jim Croce,
      We've got to stay in the picture brothers, sacrifice we must, really no matter the price (to our ego/pride). I stayed home and took every salvo thrown my way, but I was going to see them off to adulthood/college.
      We cannot let the popo and Twinn Towers (jail) take our children. See them off please, after which you can start doing YOU 100%.
      My trophy? a Father's Day card which read,
      "At the conclusion of this first year at Dartmouth, I can happily state that the journey would have been much more difficult without your support. Thank you,"

It's the other races that wants to be Black!! everything we do is emulated by whites especially.. Know your history son,...Blacks have always lived in the "Golden Age" in fact, we started it. Remember the Mother Land is Africa!! and it wasn't until "Whites Anglo Saxons" came and destroyed the world. Blacks have built this country so its time for us to rest! the Whites have brought drugs and diseases to this country (Ask the Indians). And you're right EVERY race has fu**"d up people even you!

      @John Rodriguez I know that the last movie doesn’t have anything to do with the first 2. They don’t even use the same character names. But historically, the set is listed as a TRILOGY. I know what a sequel is but I'm not the one listing the movies as sequels. In all actually, neither one of the movies had nothing to do with other. Calvin Lockhart, Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier all used different character names in the 1st two movies. I research my information even when people tell me otherwise. So in this case, no one told me anything.

    You can already hear it at 0:17 - It's amazing how an unintended "happy accident" just happened to catch the ear of the right man and would end up revolutionizing the way a generation would interpret rhythm. Beautiful stuff.

    Loved the movie for all times then/now. The mesh of the young/mature. The so called poverty pimps, the hustle of Poitier/Cosby, the retired detective J.E Jones, scoping the whole scene. They all play it out for a win, win. The ending sound. "A PIECE OF THE ACTION" CAN BE JAMMED TO ALL NIGHT NIGHT!!!!!!!

    One of my all time favorite endings for more than just the joy of the scene. I saw it when it came out, but twenty years later, I was a counselor at a youth camp for kids similar to those in the film. We had an end of summer dance and they pulled us teachers and counselors on the floor in a way that mirrored the above scene.
