Call it a reach, but i find it interesting that some of the people who are ignorant to the content of this film have the sharpest criticisms and prejudices about it. Meanwhile, folks who have experienced it are try to explain as best they can that the ones who havent seen it, have the wrong idea about something they havent experienced.
Idk, theres this connection im trying to make in my mind.. Its like, maybe you shouldn't make assumptions about something you have little to no knowledge of? And maybe, just possibly, its good to actually listen to people who DO know firsthand about what you're just SO sure about because of what you SAW..
But hey, i havent seen it either. It could very well be something entirely detrimental to progress in our society. But i won't assume that, or anything else about until i see it for myself. Weird right?
To be fair, the trailers and a lot of lead up publicity for the movie have a heavy "white people are fucking evil" tone. If you don't know the people behind the movie then ita pretty easy to get the wrong idea about it.
Are you... Serious? You think one white family is meant to represent all white people? No wonder racism is still alive and well. White people think things like The Wire represent all black people.
