Atlanta Daily World- There is a thin line between conspiracy theories and actual reality, especially when it comes to the Black community. But history has shown that it’s not far fetch to suspect the government, or large organizations, from using its power to negatively impact society.
There were multiple government-backed programs such as The Tuskegee Experiment where Black people were untreated for Syphilis from 1932-1972. In terms of real estate, Blacks were left out of economic empowerment due to redlining, a practice where the federal government intentionally segregated America starting in 1933.
But what would happen if some of those same forms of mistreatment occurred today?
Enter, “They Cloned Tyrone,” a movie that takes a comedic approach to explore how certain things the are prevalent within the Black community are actually detrimental.
Wonderfully written/directed by Juel Taylor, the film stars John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris. Set a small Southern town that holds the cultural aesthetics of Memphis, the protagonists hold the desperate positions of being a drug dealer, pimp, and prostitute.
