[@christinegelabert1651]

@@gdiaz8827 woo woo woo woo ..we all know the Arsenio chant! We all were chanting it when he showed up there! I remember that episode well! I loved Joe and respected him soooo much! I'm an international prisoner advocate for 38 years. I deal with every level of the system from my JUVEYS to my folks on DR. He was part of the reason why I wanted to get involved with the juvenile system. His life was in a lotta ways my inspiration plus the fact that I had gone through part of the State's system. It's easy to get hooked in once there's other factors at play and this is how a lot of these kids land in the juvenile system. I'M a NYS adult adoptee, I spent almost 10 years fighting to get adopted with my family by the time I was 11 and in 6th grade. It's still chokes me up in that girl says that Joe is like a father to her and to the kids in school who don't have fathers like her. This wasn't my exact experience but it is something I deal with everyday with "MY KIDS" in my advocacy. It was just always been a lot about this movie that resonated with me. Rest in Peace Joe 🕊️

Stand and Deliver stars Edward James Olmos as a high school math teacher who inspires his mostly Hispanic students to take AP Calculus and pass the AP exam for college credit.

[@AfricanElements]

@@robertjones447 Well, that's a really dumb question, but since you seem like kind of a dumb person, I guess I'll have to explain it to you... You see, a long time ago, my ancestors were colonized by white Western Europeans. Along with the Atlantic slave trade and smallpox, they were also given languages, alphabets, and surnames that they didn't fuckin' want. Much like the continent of Africa (or the United States for that matter) we remain stuck with these languages and borders that we didn't want or create. The process of disentangling ourselves from them is rather complex. Part of that process, however, involves dismantling the colonial style education that handed this legacy down to us. Hence my objection to colonial style education. 🥰

@@paulsharp7857 we know it’s loosely based on her book and that the writers had creative control with the script. It’s still a good movie and they should still react to it.

@@marquitamiller9313 It's a great movie as for acting, but the overall image of the movie, is used as an example: to paint a picture of aaall bruthaz=blkmen are abusive like how the movie shown... By it being a lie, she got paid for lying on the blkman who discovered her, and truly loved her, now she's married to a white guy... So again, the movie is slandering Ike Turner name, especially being one who has a business, that caters to battered females in abusive relationships.. That's like a female saying she's been involved with you, but you were extremely controlling, and kept her away from her family, and locked her in the basement, and starved her!! You see how damaging that makes you look, to do a female that way? So, who would you think other females, and simps will believe between, you and her??? So even though you didn't do it, everybody will take the wicked female side... Just like still to this day, you hear the statements when it comes to a man putting his foot down on his girl"WATCH OUT BEFORE HE GOES IKE TURNER ON HER" 😏AS TO SAY HE'S ABOUT TO GET ABUSIVE... BTW: as you see, many blk females also request others non blk to watch it, as to say "SEE HOW BLKMEN TREAT US, AND WHAT WE GO THROUGH" smh

The best thing about Joe Clark was that he did not care about Race, Gender, or Age. He demanded that everyone give their best, that they take responsibility for themselves, work hard, and succeed. Must watch: The Best Man, Love & Basketball, Low Down Dirty Shame, Remember the Titans, The Five Heartbeats, and Glory.

Imitation of Life is a great movie, Mask with Cher not Jim Carey and Mommy Dearest if ya'll haven't seen those

Such a powerful film Morgan Freeman is an amazing actor time sure does fly as a kid I remember Morgan Freeman from his ⚡ Electric Company days the man's a legend

[@daryn78912]

@OctoKrool : you REALLY need to watch “Stand and Deliver”. That is such a good movie, and very rarely on tv. I don’t know why, because it is so good, and this is based on a true story as well. I know you both would love it!!!

[@4000mack]

I got to say, y'all selection of movies are really on point Brothers. Really enjoying watching the movies I grew up on with ya. Great reactions!

Axel Rose only allowed "Welcome to the Jungle" to be played during the beginning of the film. I love this movie a lot and is amongst many great movies from my teen years of the 80s decade. I graduated in 1988 and remember the news about Joe Clark. He's a legend in the school community.

[@browniewin4121]

I remember enjoying this movie when it came out, even more because it's based on something real. My all time favorite movies would be, The Station Agent (2003), and L.A. Confidential (1997)

[@joellenglass2344]

Man y’all didn’t play the bathroom scene with the school song?! That’s one of the best parts!

[@porkfrog2785]

I remember when Clark hit the news because of chaining the doors and I thought it was funny, as I was high school age myself...then this movie came out later. Clark just died last year

I love what you said about people needing to be honest and take responsibility. Writer and researcher Brene Brown said in a TED talk, "Let me tell you what we think about children. They're hardwired for struggle when they get here. And when you hold those perfect little babies in your hand, our job is not to say, 'Look at her, she's perfect. My job is just to keep her perfect -- make sure she makes the tennis team by fifth grade and Yale by seventh grade.' That's not our job. Our job is to look and say, 'You know what? You're imperfect and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.' That's our job. Show me a generation of kids raised like that, and we'll end the problems I think we see today. *We pretend that what we do doesn't have an effect on people. We do that in our personal lives. We do that corporate -- whether it's a bailout, an oil spill, a recall -- we pretend like what we're doing doesn't have a huge impact on other people. I would say to companies, this is not our first rodeo, people. We just need you to be authentic and real and say 'We're sorry. We'll fix it'."* It baffles me how many companies focus on money and lawsuits and covering their own asses instead of taking responsibility and saying, "Yeah, we screwed up. We're so sorry. We'll fix this and learn from it." Yes, I understand that they're concerned about their bottom line finances, but what's more important? People, or money? In the end, will you feel better about saving a company some cash, or about stepping up when you make a mistake and showing people you can be honorable and learn from your mistakes and do better and take care of your community? Of course, with schools, it is very, very complicated. Because - as we saw in the film - there are so many factors involved in helping a child get a good education. The support of the school system, the principal, the teachers, the parents... if one piece of that puzzle doesn't have enough support, the whole thing can crumble. The character Kaneesha shows that - she was trying so hard, and so was her mom, but they were both struggling and they needed someone else to give them a hand. They needed someone to say, "There's a way for us to help you help your daughter, and here's what we're all going to do together..." Like we saw in what Joe was able to do for that school, if people have that support, there's no telling what they can do, what heights they can reach. If they're just given the chance.

Wow. It's crazy to see how some people react to this, while it reminds me of my high school. We had metal detectors way before school shootings like Columbine were such a thing.

I just finished watching on patreon the full viewing of Lean On Me. I think you would enjoy stand and deliver with Lou Daimond Phillips and Edward James Olmos. It's a true story about Jaime Escalante at Garfield High in Los Angeles!

[@noneofyourdamnbusiness9012]

"Stand and Deliver" was dope, too. What about Hard Lessons by Denzel Washington? That was the first movie to shown Bloods and Crips.
