      The Minority is a funny, dramatic, eye opening film about the many ways racism and race relations affects the lives of african americans. This story examines how racism affects black american identity, job opportunity, and societal behavior towards blacks. Although the film tackles difficult subject matter, it does so stylishly with humour and a great soundtrack. Its a movie that all Americans should see to have a better understanding of our country and ultimately ourselves.
