Good movies about race

I have seen many but I can only really think about one

Bamboozled (directed by Spike Lee)

I liked it and it spoke to me in spite of the fact that I don't care for Spike Lee's style.

Please post yours

Regards,
Dave

I can think of a couple but the one that really stands out as my favorite is Glory.

Does a movie about Apartheid count? If yes then Cry Freedom is a good choice

A few more decent movies about race:

Higher Learning
To Kill a Mockingbird
Mississippi Burning

there are many many many others, I just can't think of em

American History X

absolutely brilliant film, just make sure u have a strong stomach or a high threshold for watching violence...

"Save the last dance" deals with race, although it's not that great.

Yeah American History X is awsome

roots and american history x were my suggestions. i also like menace II society. but that's more 'gang life on the streets' kinda shiat.

i remember seeing a very good move with Steve Biko (the black freedomfighter in South Africa that was killed in 1979).
Dont remember the name though.
