@ubastiff. I suggest you watch the film again, as you seem to have missed the point. Spooner is not suggesting that race created punk. He was merely shining a light on blacks in the scene.

Part 2) Some of the interviews however, were heart felt. I will say the structure form of the film was not bad (editing etc.) TO try to give yourself a name especially in Punk (when he contributed nothing to the foundation of punk) and build street credit by using race as the catalyst is sad and should be seen for what it really is.

One of the most racist films I have ever seen. The film lacks proper research, the cast of interviews (except for a few) are UN-credible. The film maker was completely biased, when he could have been enlightening. To suggest that a race “created” punk rock (and then give the proof he suggested) is just sick. To suggest a “class” created punk rock is more believable.

Looks like all four to six of the black people there (who were not on stage) had a great time.

AfroPunk! LOL!
