I just rented TALES FROM THE HOOD.

I thought it was a pretty cool low budget anthology horror movie. The first story is called "Rogue Cop Revelation", it involves 3 white racist cops, but its pretty lame, and poorly written.
The second story "Boys Do Get Bruised",". About a new boy at a school shows up the first day with a bunch of bruises on his arm. His teacher begins to get very concerned about this. The boy tells the teacher he got the bruises from the "monster" that lives in his house.
In the third story, "KKK Comeuppance", a former Ku Klux Klansman turned politician moves into a mansion that was once the sight of a horrible slave massacre that occurred around the end of the Civil War. There is a lot of distrust towards him, because of his shady history. He is told by many of the protesters that a bunch of voodoo dolls, which are inhabited by the souls of the murdered slaves, are still on the mansion grounds. The politician shrugs all of this off as just local superstition, until his assistant (who might I add is black) dies mysteriously. Soon it becomes clear that the politician is not alone in his brand new house.
In the fourth story, "Hard Core Convert", a gangster is arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. Some years after being sent to prison, he's offered a chance to be released, if he agrees to be a participant in a brand new experiment.This is probably the best of 4 stories.
The movie also has a cool surprise ending i wont spoil it, if you havent seen it you should.
