Buck Breaking Reaction...it's bad

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, and because I felt this movie really needed an analytical explanation in between all of the funny memes... I watched Tariq Nasheed's Buck Breaking movie.

I wouldn't recommend it.

It's just as bad as you imagined. Further, it made me take some time to assess how and why this movie found an audience. What does it say about cis-het black men, hotep culture, and some of the unique elements of black homophobia? I try to process it as best i can on this episode of the Black Media Breakdown.
