I don't think I have, after watching Root's when I was in grade school, I tend to not watch movies that paint us in a negative way, especially slave themed movies.

I feel the same way, especially about movies that paint us all as criminals and drug dealers. A Raisin In The Sun isn't that, though.
This movie is the story of an American family. A BLACK American family. The thing that's so great about the film is that it directly touches on a myriad of topics that relate to us:
Manhood
Fatherhood
Classism
Overt racism and racist microagressions
Pan Africanism
The Black family dynamic
Black upward mobility
If you don't want to watch the movie (or stage play) because of the themes, check it out for the great acting performances.
Take a look at the Tubi app. Their Black Cinema section is either hood comedies, drug dealer movies, church movies, or romance movies where somebody is cheating on their spouse.
