Boyz N the Hood -help

[Gary MacLennan]

I have been given an emergency task here.  A colleague is ill and I have to
give his lecture on Thursday on Singleton's BOYZ'N the Hood.  the theme of
the lecture is black filmmakers and urban social problems.  Does anyone
have any thoughts, obsessions, points to make.  

Where are Afro-American politics going now anyway?

I recall the discussion on the million man march on the old Marxism list
and then Rakesh made a point about the sexism of Singleton's film.  If he
is reading this and could jot down those thoughts I would be grateful.

regards
