Bamboozled - Spike Lee

The above embedded film (removed) is very controversial but well worth watching when considering the representation of black people, in particular black men, in America and is deeply satirical as well as hilarious. Be warned though it can offend and does use the 'N' and 'F' words frequently. The film is made by Spike Lee the pre-eminent black FIlm maker in the US who also participated in an episode of Who do you think you are? This is the stimulus for today's exploration of Representation and Cultural Identity with reference to black History month. The essay you will write will be explorative and focussed on the representations of black men in the media.
