The very first words uttered in this TV movie are 'Almost every bad thing that has ever happened to me has been because of a black person.' A rather alarming opening line and it doesn't let up.
Joseph is a teacher at school in London in which 70% of the kids are black. He knows it's tough for black kids to get a start in life so he tries his hardest to make men out of them. But there is one really nasty kid who lies about Joseph hitting him for a joke. But his mum gets behind it and Joseph is eventually fired for nothing.
He tries to fight back but is made a scapegoat for the anger of the black community and his credibility and life are shattered. Living on the streets he is taken in by a kindly elderly black woman and begins his long haul back to respectability again. Along the way he is constantly talking to the camera about how ridiculous and annoying black stereotypes and culture are.
If this were a white guy he'd be hung by the PC police, so I'm assuming that the disguise for this blatant xenophobia is the fact that Joseph is a black person too. But you really have to wonder of where exactly the inspiration for this rubbish came from.
It's really easily written and has about as much grace and civility as a sledgehammer to the balls. Originally called 'F*ck Black People' I'm amazed any non-KKK member producer even dared to pick it up.
Certainly not a film you should devote any amount of time to.
