One of the most racist movies of all time


In these sensitive times I am surprised how no one picked up on this movie being pretty racially insensitive. Towards whites. Now I know there is a lot of racism in the world and in USA and a lot of it is racism against African Americans. However this movie goes into another extreme, not a single white character in the movie is positive and every white character with more than 5 min screen time is a monster trying to steal black people. On the other hand the only normal characters in the movie are African Americans who are either heroes or victims or both. Now lets say I make a movie about a white family ending up in the hood and every black character there is trying to steal their body, kill or whatever and the only normal characters are other white people. Eh, you get the point. This movie is not bad because it is racist, it is actually a really good piece of cinema and I like it but it is pretty racist.

This OP comment seem quaint with the US military today trying to enforce anti-whiteness and BLM ideology among it's ranks...

lol

Eventually the movie will be seen as an exercise in absurdity, which it is... It was still fun, although I think the ending is a bit weak...

So you're saying that a film about monsters who happen to be white people should not be made?

reply

Surely intent is important. Do you not think the intent is to demonise white people?

reply

That 'sect' of white people were demonized. It's a community of weirdos, I never thought they were trying to portray all white people as bad.

Seriously?

reply

You didn't understand that?

reply

Are you telling me current Hollywood films, this director more than any I can think of and this film in particular doesn't have a wider anti-white agenda?

reply

Anti-white agenda?! lol Jordan Peele's mother, who he is very close to, is white. This film was about a private sect of people that got together because they all had the same weird fetish, they obviously weren't just a normal white community.

Love it, the old 'I have a *insert ethnic group here friend' defence. You are wilfully ignoring what I am implying as to the symbolism of this film showing the whites as exploitative and showing blacks as victims, it is basically Critical Race Theory 101

reply

Who said “I have a *insert ethnic group here friend” why do you keep ignoring what I said and talking around it like you just want to get to your next talking point? You’ve never acknowledged the fact that this movie is about a cult, not a representation of all white people.

reply

You're implying because Peele has a white mother he can't have a beef against whites. Plenty of self hating 100% whites in the media if you didn't notice. Also you are not acknowledging any of my points, just restarting the same thing i.e this film is about the people in the cult and not having a wider target. I think you're just trolling at this point.

reply

Lol calling me a troll because I oppose your opinion is really childish. What is this ‘point’ of your that I’m ignoring? Saying he’s a racist is not a ‘point’.

reply

Looking at IMDB's list of top cast members about half of them were white. Are these characters representative people in America in general. Of course not. I can't imagine myself being so far out of touch that I would think they are.

reply

Because the director is an anti white racist masquerading as a 'film director'

Just look at his other equally racist movies to see he clearly has big issues against white folk.
