Drop Squad

Drop Squad is the controversial film executive-produced by Spike Lee that sought to explore a different form of social unrest; that of African-American who deny or exploit their cultural heritage for personal gain. The “Drop Squad” is the name of an outlaw organization that has been formed to “de-program” Blacks who they believe are a threat to racial pride. They often use methods that become increasingly violent in order to achieve their goal. The squad’s latest target, Bruford Jamison, Jr. (LaSalle), is an advertising agent who creates ads that are considered racially offensive and detrimental to the African-American image.
