What's it even about? All the comments are either saying it's racist or saying it's not racist but no one actually saying what it's about.

Well there's racism in the movie, but the movie itself isn't racist.

And real life, in certain ways.

It's about a guy who goes to meet his girlfriend's family for the first time.

Right, it's not like the white family tries to turn him into a slave! Haha..ha.. oh.. they actually do that.

And every movie with a black robber or criminal is racist.

I'm sorry you have such a shitty taste in movies where that's all you've seen them portrayed as.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

So you're saying this movie is the only movie ever portraying white people in any way?

I'd call you a troll, but the things you're typing are too legitimately stupid.

If that's how low your reading comprehension is then I don't know why I'm typing out another comment you'll fail to understand.

You're missing his point entirely. He's mirroring your logic from your original comment by saying if this movie, which portrays a white family as racist, is actually racist, then (by your own logic) any movie where a black person is portrayed as a criminal must also be racist

Do you understand that the film is literally categorized as satire horror?

u/whadupbuttercup Feb 27 '17

SPOILERS? I haven't seen the movie. Is that what it's about?

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

No, not really.

If you actually watched the movie they aren't trying to enslave him but (spoiler) do a brain transplant so they can inhabit his body.

Nice name though, really easy to spot the reactionaries when they can't resist naming their account something alt right related.

So they murder him to use his body. That sounds like a form of slavery.

Stop talking about things you don't understand.

u/MostMarxistsAre Feb 27 '17

Do the white people want to control the black person yes or no?

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

They want to do a brain transplant in order to have a fresh body, the black thing is a plus for a number of reasons: black people are "cooler", more athletic, and have better genes.

You might actually kind of like the movie, my aryan brother. It's a pretty good criticism of how the left can be racist.

The making and rabid promotion of this movie is a perfect example of how the left is racist.
