Holdin' Down The Culture
Ludacris is making big moves these days on the big screen. The veteran rapper turned film actor’s latest film project, ‘The Ride,’ has disappointed quite a few people. Ludacris plays the part of “Eldridge” who’s married to a woman named “Marianna.” The couple adopts a delinquent juvenile named “John” who also happens to be a White Supremacist. The synopsis for The Ride reads as follows,
“After a violent, racially charged incident lands John in juvenile detention, he is finally placed with an unlikely set of foster parents, Eldridge and Marianna, an interracial couple. Eldridge makes it his mission to overcome the challenges of John’s White supremacist upbringing, slowly beginning to forge a relationship through his foster son’s fascination with extreme sports and BMX biking. Rooted by this newfound passion, the family builds a bond of mutual respect, love and redemption.”
Something sick about these young black rappers being stuck in the violence of poverty as older rappers court capitalists and shame them

Making it into a movie so white people can feel good is corny though.

Who in the world is gonna see this? Gay BMX side storyline. And when I see Ludacris I think of him in Crash where he had some anti white lines about how they think blacks will steal from them, and then he stole their car lmao

So it’s like the woke version of the Blindside. Switch it from a movie to a reality show and have a real white supremacist teen move in with Ludacris. We would either get some good footage of them finding commonalities or GREAT footage of Luda beating his ass https://t.co/cMSXIFdj6m

This entire movie sounds like tone-deaf garbage. Imagine trying to engage in apologetics for white supremacists when they’re responsible for almost all domestic terrorism in America. Ludacris is an idiot for this.
