Man this scene from the Mack. A Film that was made 46 years ago 1973 which foretold what was to become of the black community and the ideologies that followed. Great clip from an Underated movie. Salute to all the Fathers out there in tha struggle.

[@The3DSMaxinator]

Ironically at the same time it was already going on.

[@pnojazz]

Saw it in 1972 at the Drive Inn. Wasn’t underrated in my neighborhood! :)

[@Wis_Dom]

In reality, both are right! This is one of those grey-area arguments. The truth is, you do what it takes to get out of the ghetto and get a better life. But then, you leave that old lifestyle alone, turn it into a clean business and give back.

[@torrebrannon8180]

Powerful scene illustrating the interconnection between Revolution & Black Capitalist values. Ironically, as would be the case 20 years later in Boyz in the Hood, the good guy (revolutionary in this case) did not emerge as the hero, in real life. After the Mack, Goldie was the hero on the street, as Mack of the Year contests sprang up all over America. This was also the case after the release (1968) of Iceberg Slim's, Pimp, the Story of My Life. Iceberg. in the writing of his classic treatest, issued a warning to all young brothers to stay out of the game. Yet, hundreds missed his message, and dove right into the Pimp life. Max Julian, in real life, is s revolutionary, Huey Newton and he were close friends. He hoped through the telling of this story, to keep people away from the game, after all, he leaves town on a bus, busted, broke, no more hoes, bad relations with his only brother, who was the one he turned to to elicit revenge on the crooked cops who murdered his mother!

[@denmark555]

+Torre Brannon Everything you wrote is correct. I was saying the other day, how most people miss the point of these movies. No one ever references the last scenes in the Mack, when he turned away from that lifestyle, inspired by the love and lose of his mother. Most movies made by black writers and directors, try to give lessons. Yet most viewers just grab onto the negative aspects. Menace to Society a perfect example, the two main scenes in that flick features Charles S. Dutton, discussing "the hunt" of black men. And the ending scene, where Cane is killed, and laments how he messed up by not listening sooner.

[@chigjuanspartacus2822]

+Torre Brannon BROTHA, YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH!

[@REGALITY4LIFE]

Torre Brannon he left the same way he came in...with nothing

[@marvinwoodard7652]

I don't if he would have been broke, but he was smart enough to get out after it caused so much tragedy.

[@marvinberry9874]

Torre Brannon - yes indeed as was the case in most 60s and 70s exploitation works...books, movies and documentaries. Superfly comes to mind. When capitalistic agendas are put in place to oppress a people, the argument continues today. Revitalized by 45's cry to "make America great again." You hit the nail on it's head but most blacks believes it some how shows intelligent to remain silent to something that has existed for hundreds of years. But the roar of the lion, Judah is loud and clear. Good message Torre Brannon.

[@pradabears]

the fact that they’re both right makes this scene so painful.

[@MrEab2010]

they are both not right. The Mack is a drug pusher selling poison to his own people and worships only money and a shallow, meaningless life. He is to be despised and ostracized for that until he atones and changes his ways.

Yes it’s kinda hard to kick that black power/brotherly-sisterly love stuff when your own kind is trying rob and kill you at the same time for their own benefits. That’s why I get Goldie’s point may as well get yours and try to be a top player and hopefully get out the ghetto. But certain people will take that as being a sellout for moving away from the bull shit

Sorry about that…Did he come out before he died and y’all talked? If so I just hope you explain to him why you didn’t. Maybe he understood, but the thing is as long as you saw him after him coming out you went to see him everyday. It might’ve not been enough but it was the least you could do.

[@Debonairemusicpromo]

in this scene I'm with Goldie being poor and black don't mean shit 🎩

[@_Y-.]

I disagree that they are both right. This theatrical dialogue is an excellent illustration of the devices used to divide dark brown Africa Ethnic people all over the world. You want to see poor dark brown skinned people, visit the Continent (now called) of Africa. Walk through the residential areas after day light from the sun has gone; it's pitch black outdoors and try not to trip over little girls and boys squatted down outside their homes, emptying their bladders and bowels of waste before going to sleep inside maybe on a mattress on the floor, or a straw woven mat. Answer this question that so many living poor there answer in acts every day: what are you willing to do to bathe yourself, have clean water to cook with, drink, and clean your self after relieving yourself? There they too are forced to live "REALLY POOR" because of the same devisiveness there keeps the people divided and conquered. It looks like ambition, but it's real proper name is "GREED!"

[@Lenner34]

It's all love brother but I think you're describing remote African rural areas. There's cities with pretty cool shit and what not( Lagos, Nairobi etc) Both ends of the spectrum in Africa are black-both the billionaires and slum dwellers. It is racial, but also a rich-poor divide. In your part of the world the legacies of slavery, disenfranchisement, segregation and social injustice ensure it also coincide with skin color. All the same brothers from the states are on point. Never was woke till I did college over there.

What a genuine exchange(scene) between the two, one is talking Self Fulfilment, Morality, Character, Righteousness,... and the other is (in essence) saying None of that means anything if you're Broke. I don't AGREE with the Mack at all but (being from around folks like that) I understand. When the pursuit of MONEY is your primary goal and you have less than nothing in resources, there you go. Choices???? And the motivations thereof.

the folks that made this film were aware of what was happening with these films and they tried as hard as possible to work in some positive messages to go along with the negative stuff they needed to get the film made. Curtis Mayfield's reasons for doing the soundtrack to Superfly had the same kind of motivation.. he said the movie was going to have a such a destructive effect on the black community that he felt compelled to put some music to it with deeper positive meaning.
