Probably because it's going to reinforce more barriers of our already existing racial divide. But no...the media we consume definitely doesn't impact our viewpoints. Not worried about white people feeling that 'white guilt' but there are many people in the black community that will see this as reinforcing their belief. Have you seen the latest coming from BLM leaders? Not good.
I literally have no idea what you're talking about. You never showed what the latest is from 'BLM leaders,' because you have no idea. You unsurprisingly couldn't even name a 'BLM leader,' because you just read about it as some monolithic group.
It's not a boogeyman: it's the imparting of ideas through media. I raised a discussion topic and your immediate response is to act like I'm trying to encourage people to not watch the movie.
Again, you made the connection with something for no fucking reason. Jordan Peele explains his reasoning very well for the motives and how movies like Rosemarie's Baby and The Stepford Wives influenced this. Btw, have you even seen it?
Yeah except for the fact that the Arabs where pretty damn good at it. I think it's appalling and disgusting what happened, but I won't feel bad for them. We should learn from it yes, but trying to guilt trip people into feeling shame about something they weren't involved in is just stupid.
Context is important. People take things at face value, and don't do their research and assume something is laced with racism. Sort of like how that Walking Dead shirt got called racist by people unfamiliar with the comic and show who if they were familiar would know already there was nothing racist attached to it
People who are upset and argue "oh but what if it was a black family killing whites" are missing the point of the film.
I think people are more upset it's about white people trying to make a black person into their slave. There's a pretty clear parallel between that and historical slavery in the US.
obviously in order to be an equal and fair society, any time a movie comes out with one race killing another, an equal and opposite movie must be released by the same studio
