...positively revolted by the claims this group made about black laughter, black eating habits, aversion of eyes and more than anything else teaching ghetto students in incorrect language so they will "understand." Every individual I have seen in my life has his own unique laugh that has nothing to do with cultural background. There is no such thing as black eating habits.

As might be expected from men of such scruples, the resultant film is tacky and insufferably condescending. It invites audiences to laugh at a pathetic, driven man, while the real clowns peek out from behind the cameras...
