"It's Called Gentrification" | Boyz ’N The Hood 

Yeah, the young one showed him respect back when he took his shades off to look him in thr eyes man to man.

You do realize it's a movie right and not real life?

@@user-uk7hf5oz8dthat’s obtuse, no one is debating if the scene is fiction or non-fiction, they are clearly actors. The message however is what the original comment was referencing, particularly in the respectful way it was being conveyed. Unless of course you do not believe lessons can be derived from works of fiction.

@@jonjone661 you must be part of the fake outrage safe space group. Way to take it to the next level. Literally proving my point. If it was real it MIGHT be obtuse. But it's NOT. Can you not DISCERN the difference? Did you just learn that word and couldn't wait to use it? Holy shit that was an incredibly dum response. Cue the sad violins over a make believe scenario. Good grief. Do you walk around with tissues? Wow.

@@jonjone661 the point was it was acting that was the scene. He was supposed to talk that way. The original commenter was acting like it was a real life scene and it wasn't. Can you not understand the difference? The fact I even have to explain this is just mind boggling.

I don't know man crack and shooting in south LA is way lower than it was when this came out

Bingo

@@Stridewise Yes, but take a loot at how many black aborted babies there are every year. Remember Furious said, if you take away a people's ability to reproduce. So that means both creating a situation that causes them to die young, before they procreate, and create an environment where the idea of procreating is repulsive and thus encourage abortions. It's still preventing new black from being born, and keeping the population rate of black people under control. Case in point, I remember 30 years ago when this movie came out, how black people make up 16-18% of the population, now it's only about 12%, that means as time goes along there are LESS black people per capita. That's the population reduction agenda at play.

@@Stridewise now it's the homeless and drugs from the cartels, yet no one in power cares

Blacks people are the only group of people that don't grow and evolve.

Intelligent in what regard??

That's what great dialogue is all about.

very true. if the young brother doesn't survive his present, his future plans mean nothing. as we see later on in this fine movie

They are to busy in racist conspiracy theories

Adam, he knew that the young folks destroyed themselves with it. Drugs were the method of choice for quick thrills and a quick end. Bullets were next.

That's Grady right there

@@Sangria was half expecting Fred Sanford to come rolling up in his truck.

And the only thing he was willing to do to make it better than it was was pointing a stick and blaming someone else... While the community was in decline before those kids were even born. Hell it was in decline when he was a kid.

He also played a jheri curl wearing cowboy on Pee Wees playhouse

He was supposed to be Jules Winfield and Zeus in DH3 but SLJ cut him off both times. Once supposedly due to audition, the latter because of salary desire.

@@steverodriguez8071 Exactly. I'm mad I forgot about that role.

Right? I love the moment where Furious begins to get through to the older man 3:55

Well said.

@@johngilmore697 Now that was truly babbling. later on after I heard that show in 1990 I started to hear other people who grew up in Crenshaw district like Singleton or Compton or North Long Beach etc. describe that also as part of their memories during their childhood. Box cars of automatic weapons just showing up apparently in the middle of the night. in later years this would be joined by massive amounts of crack cocaine available to distribute in these areas. The distribution of crack cocaine into South Central eventually made headlines and became an important congressional investigation.

No strong and responsible father to reign in his rage. That's what doughboy needed.

Doughboy needed a loving mother like Ricky had. Ricky his whole life was had his mother behind him and she never thought anything of Doughboy which was why he turned out into the person he was

@@Soldierboytrey This whole movie was so sad to me, it left me feeling disturbed for quite awhile. .... The Saddest thing about Dough boy was having a mother who Spewed so much resentment towards her Our child - all Dough boy wanted from her was her Acknowledgment, Affection, Attention & Acceptance... Furious couldn't reach him, he was far too gone; lost in his own brokenness. 😔

Lol before the scene u can see the old head idly standing by XD

Anybody who's not a homie is gonna be checked out

The guy always looked and acted older than his age. In Apocalypse Now he was only 14-15 years old. Dude looked like he was 25. He’s what 26-27 here? He looks 40, put some white on his beard and he could pass for 45. I think his character is 34 in this movie.

DAMN, for real? wow...

@@jpmnky He was 17 in Apocalypse Now and 28 in Boys N The Hood

Nah. Directors, scripts, actors just aren't good anymore.

To be honest, most films back then weren't as good as this. Classics are remembered for a reason. I'd say 90% of movies of ANY era are just there to be enjoyed and forgotten in their time.

Movies are rushed these days and some of the characters are actually born and actually live this environment most people portray it but don't know it

It's a natural lingo game recognize game back your background and where you come from

We sound like our parents lol

And you know for a fact conversations like these happened all the time in early 90s LA

I didn't get then too, until I personally started seeing it

And that's why movies are so important. Same thing with Rain Man (1988). It was that flick that made the word autism became mainstream and people started to research more about it.

maybe stop blaming whitey

me too, Kayla. Laurence Fishburne is the man! I'm not even religious, but if he got talking i'd prolly follow him to church to hear him out. Intense and interesting fella! It's so real it doesn't even feel like he's acting here does it?

@@woopoganntnt7379 Racists destroying themselves and blaming others is a very popular thing.

@@woopoganntnt7379why were they bad?

@@DreidelBoy1948 Thank you, exactly. What is more likely, that it is a conspiracy of non-blacks to put up liquor stores and gun stores in the hopes that black people will buy them and destroy themselves, or people who simply see a demand for guns and booze and profit from it. No one was forcing anyone to smoke crack, drink all day and shoot each other. The drug dealers, the liquor and gun store owners, could be put out of business easily. No demand, no supply.

@@DreidelBoy1948 nah, the only victim mentality is the sionist and genocide state of Israel Free Palestine

@@DreidelBoy1948 exactly, he even mentioned other minority community like Koreans. Italians and Mexicans. how come it's only the black neighborhood that are affected by his consipiracy bullshit? black people need to take a good look at themselves and regonize the fault of their own culture and blame everything on racism. not saying racism don't exist but they existe for every other minority races. but they were able to overcome that. everybody, everybody but the black community...they have no excuses

​@@DreidelBoy1948 Spoken like a typical irrational and inhumane zionist. The council officials who approve the liquor and gun stores are never black. But you already knew that.

@@DreidelBoy1948bro everything this movie says is right There doesn’t have to be a demand, if those in power dictate, to put stores there And everybody knows the property value does decrease soley because of people being black in a neighborhood It’s not “victim mentality” people are actually just victims of a country that wants to keep them down because it keeps those in power at the top and it keeps the middle and lower classes divided

One that promotes a victim mentality? Nah

@@DreidelBoy1948 Huh? How dare you misinterpret the noble intentions of Furious? He was not coddling anyone with a victim mentality, he was enlightening his son and companions about the harsh realities of their society and empowering them to rise above the adversities they face. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he was instilling in them the strength and knowledge to combat the systemic injustices that plague their community. It seems your feeble mind cannot comprehend true empowerment when it stares you in the face. Educate yourself before spouting such ignorant drivel! 😈🔥

@@DreidelBoy1948 Your interpretation of Furious' actions couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't promoting victimhood but rather empowering his son and friends to confront and overcome the challenges they face. Before you communicate, try listening with your mind, not just your ears. Wisdom might find you then.

Whites move out "White Flight". Whites move in "gentrification". It's always someone else's fault.

When you’re dumb and didn’t pay attention to the video

He didn't tell them the truth. The old man did. All Furious did was shifting the blame instead of accepting responsibility.

@@johndong7524 Wow! It really shows your own issues when you say something like that. Forgetting it's a movie with scripts and dialogue lines for each of the characters. And then a overall message the director is trying to show. And all you can come up with is responsibility. Wow, you have no idea of government schemes. If no guns, cocaine or booze was ever in those places. The locals would never be drawn to them. The government knew that. It's only you who doesn't 30yrs later. Go back to sleep

@@MrAden1307 Excellent example of blame shifting that I was talking about. Didn't the government also tell you to "Just Say No"? )) No one forced you to touch any of those things.

Everybody got along, kept the neighborhood clean, etc but as the older ones left then they left those houses to their grandkids and most of them didn’t keep up the property.

seems intentional, trying to display cognitive dissonance in ricky growing up in the area

@@Guts_Chris oh my mistake!

But he knows his part of the hood, he's been walking it every day, despite what's going on in that scene he's pretty comfortable taking a piss there, probably done it hundreds of times in the area, he's never needed to go for a piss and been worried about making a run for it after.

he only reason it changed is because he was talking shit to gang members from an opposing hood of his brother. most likely they were Crenshaw mafia bloods (tre got in an argument with that kid when he called him an african booty scratcher in elementary and that kid said he was from Crenshaw mafia) and him and Tre were living in the rolling 60s neighborhood because they lived in south central. thats why they were scared to even be in compton Ofc they couldnt straight up say this stuff back then in the movie because that movie actually caused gang fights and crips and bloods shooting at each other after the movie would let out in L.A. in those days. i actually remember that. i was only 11 when this came out but went to a west Seattle middle school and we had a lot of somoan and Asian bloods that went there

Crack was intentionally and there is someone to blame for that. There name is The CIA. They released a pressed about it decades ago.

Accountability is nowhere to be seen these days .

Then we drive a few blocks down or past some train tracks and it's suddenly the hood again. Big cities really have this happening and we don't even know.

so you would rather live in a shithole with tons of crime ?

Thank goodness for that. You can go to work in Pilsen in safety rather than being in danger. You have a job -- and it's in a stable area.

I’m from the Chi and lived around the tri Taylor area. I know what you mean. Pilsen Went from hood to bouje.

So what happened in Pilsen? According to this scene, the Koreans at "Seoul to Seoul Realty" bought the land, removed the black criminals and brought in Asians... who happened to have high math scores.

Makes more sense then ever in 2023, except instead of crack it's fentanyl.

@Professor__S yupp. Crack definitely died down, and now opiates/opioids are the new pandemic. But yeah, this whole scene is just perfect. It's still relevant to this day.

Stop shifting the blame. No one forces people to use or sell drugs. It's a choice they make. The old man in this scene is right.

@johndong7524 It must be nice to have the privilege to judge other people's choices in life. Must be nice to live in a place where the annual income for most households is more than 10,000 dollars. And I was talking about Crack specifically. Not drugs in general. It's an important distinction to make in this context. (80s-90s Los Angeles. Specifically, the inner city.) You should look into the CIA and the Crack epidemic. They'll deny these allegations, of course. But the more you read about it, the more you realize that there's actually a lot of evidence to support it. Hate to be the one to inform you, but the government isn't *always* there to help you. And as a recovering addict, it's pretty disappointing to hear someone's view on addiction be so black and white. "You do drugs? You bad."

Exactly right.

well to your point #2 you realize the CIA was literally behind the crack epidemic in black neighborhoods? so hes actually right here. it wasn't that white people gathered together in their community. its more like the people in power who were majority white looked out for them and pushed it to "less desirable" areas of the country and guess what areas those are? the "urban" ones. same thing with opioids but in reverse. you dont think the government knew the dangers of this shit? the only reason its mainly white people hooked on it is because black people get denied more in healthcare and theres plenty of studies to back that up about opioids. thats why 10x more white peopl are hooked on it. because the system says that when you need a prescription as a white person, you really need it. black folks? well, we have a history of drug addition. back the "crack era" issue ran by the CIA via Columbian cartels. So, denied access more. that one time where being racially biased backfired. but the response to opioids was way better than the crack era. also another proven fact all-in-all furious styles is right.

As someone living in Iowa, I can guarantee that no one living here gave a damn about the drug problem until it found it's way to our doorstep. Only after it became an issue in Iowa did we give a rat's ass about what it was doing to other parts of the country. Let them burn as long as it's not in my backyard was the basic thought process. So furious basically has a point here

@@patwiggins6969 but that makes sense. I mean, most adults are very busy (jobs, family) so it’s unlikely they will go out of their way to try and understand a problem that isn’t directly affecting them. The only types you can expect to understand are the activist types or those that work with inner city youth . And even then they will get accused of being “white saviors” by some in the community they are trying to help. OP is right though. Singleton had a few good points but simply just shifts blame . Have we learned anything since this movie was made? I don’t think so

Not to mention at the end when the guy says “what am I supposed to do if someone rolls up on me” “Oh just think” Um… how does that solve the immediate problem of your life being in danger? Lol
