Am Ende wird Malik von seinem Professor zum Umdenken bewogen, Kristen nach einer Beinahe-Vergewaltigung zur Feministin und Remy, der sich einer Gruppe von Skinheads anschließt, zum Amokläufer.
Mit seinem provozierenden Sozialdrama bringt sich John Singleton ("Boyz N The Hood") wieder nachdrücklich ins Gespräch.
Malik (Omar Epps) is an African-American student attending on a track scholarship; academics are not his strong suit, and he goes in thinking that his athletic abilities will earn him a free ride through college. Fudge (Ice Cube), a "professional student" who has been at Columbus for six years so far, becomes friendly with Malik and challenges his views about race and politics in America.
