Get Out

It's quite easy to determine if a movie is racially biased, and bigoted - ask this simple question:

"Would this be acceptable if the races were reversed"?

Most of the time, the answer is a resounding NO. Yet people will still justify it.

And no, nobody is "offended" - just pointing out the racial double standards, and the ignorance of society.

Have you seen this movie?

[Cheek busting]

No the black friend who works for NSA wasnt a stereotype. He was a conspiracy theorist. That isnt a stereotype of black people.

You have to understand that just because race is mentioned in the movie it doesnt make it stereotypical.

And for the last time, its a friggin fiction movie. Its not sending any messages to anyone. Its not giving "voice" to any obscure theories no one gives a **** about. Even the most gullible, ******ed person wouldnt come out of the theatre thinking wow, i never knew white people all want to be black.

Its just a movie.

The black friend was making fun of White people - saying how "oh when you go visit are you gonna come back all bourgeois" or something like that. He also implied that he should be worried because "Whites are racist."

Did you even see the movie? The whole theme was - "White people want to be black."


Ask yourself this - could they get away with reversing the roles? And playing on black stereotypes? And if they could et away with it - would it be labeled racist by blacks? ABSOLUTELY.

It was an OK movie, different but you will guess going half way through what is going on.

As long you don't watch it with an agenda it should entertain

Your problem is clearly that you only want to see things as black vs white.

You see when the black friend made that 'bourgeois' comment, I took it more as a social class gap reference then a racial one. The main character or his friend arent speaking '******' or 'ebonics' or whatever you wanna call it. The black cops arent either.

The bourgoies reference is something that happens in ALL different communities I can think of. Its commonly used amongst whites in the context of people from the American South vs North East. Does it offend you then? You WANT to take it as a black vs white.

If they reversed colors, had a black familiy taking over white bodies through voodoo or something like that, with a Haitian athlete taking home his white girlfriends, and it was done in the same quality manner, I would have enjoyed it just as much, I can only speak for myself on this one. But I didnt see anything that could be considered 'racist' or 'unacceptable' in this movie. Not by a long shot.

I mean, the social/wealth gap is correlated to race in a lot of cases - here was one of them.

"DOn't came back with your pants all up to your chest." Harmless joke - but again, just a double standard, and another way hollywood portrays Whites compared to Blacks. Heh, I just can't imagine a movie where two White friends are talking, and he says "don't come back with your pants all sagging to your ass crack." And then the main protagonist of the movie makes a blatantly racist statement like "I feel nervous when I'm around too many black people."

Sorry - just can't picture a movie being made like this. In this day and age of anti-Whiteness, and "everything being racist," it would receive too much criticism and negatively. And TAHT is wot this is really about - the double standards.

and LOL I specifically said "I am NOT offended" by these type of movies where they aim to make fun of/negatively portray Whites. It's just something that happens, and I point it out..

If you're offended by racial stereotypes, and racial jokes, you're a POOSY. But THEREIN LIES THE ISSUE! It would NOT be acceptable if races were reversed, because all the whining and crying about hurt feelings over racism. That is all I'm saying.

Listen the fact that you believe that literally the aim of this movie was to portray whites in a bad light shows a level of victim mentality and personal insecurity that i just cant empathize with or understand. It makes you see things through a certain lens and I cant go there with you.

You're projecting - I never said "the main purpose of this movie was to make whites look bad." I said the theme of the movie was that White people want to be black. And you can't deny this? Literally that is what the Whites wanted.

You are projecting your own mentality, though.

Now - the fact that a movie like this gets made, shows the double standards about race in this country. And how racism is allowed by one race (blacks), and not by another.

Just recognizing reality.

i dont like how the white family had to have an estate. wtf....let me guess (and ill come back and eat crow if im wrong), home boy lives in da hood ?and of course its white daddy whos the maniac.

cliche central or maybe they got creative

Yes eat your crow, he didn't live in da hood. And just by watching the trailers it shows that the mom and dad are both crazy.

i didnt see it yet. i stopped reading at ''your crow''

i thought i was rather specific about me not seeing it yet.

yes, im making assumptions BEFORE WATCHING IT.

ive said how i will eat crow, if im wrong, AFTER I SEE IT.

but ''spoiling'' it is just as good

or was it.....

[Adonis Creed]

or was it.....

So have you watched the movie?

[Elroy The Great]

So have you watched the movie?

the tea cup should have been the clue that i have seen it and it was pretty damn good. it wasnt anything like i assumed it was. had i not known who the director was, i wouldnt have given it a fair chance.

tbf, its not as good as the critics are making it out to be (everyone giving it 5 stars ?!?!?!?).

id give it 3.5 and would watch it again.

so if youll excuse, i have to get back to eating my crow.
