The Netflix film ‘Leave the World Behind,’ executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, has generated massive controversy and been criticized for dividing the American people around a line of dialog uttered by one of the leading characters stating that white people cannot be trusted. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the audience’s response to this objectively racist message has been resoundingly negative.
Without presenting a full synopsis of the film, ‘Leave the World Behind’ finds the viewer following a married couple portrayed by Ethan Hawke and Julia Roberts, thrown together with a father and daughter played by Mahershala Ali and Myha’a Herrold in an unfolding apocalyptic setting. The unsettling dialog comes from Herrold’s character as the dust settles and the characters come to grips with the disaster.
As the father and daughter portrayed by Ali and Herrold huddle together to sleep the daughter tells her father,
“If the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out easily to anyone.” She then adds in a chilling moment of raw racism, “Especially white people.”
In a post to X, End Wokeness summarized, the film and questioned if it is “predictive programming,” meant to subconsciously prepare Americans for future events. They wrote, “Barack & Michelle Obama just produced their first fiction film on Netflix called: “Leave The World Behind” The plot is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the power & cripples the United States. (Predictive programming?) They even managed to sneak in a scene bashing white people”
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Space X, owner of X and multi-billionaire, offered an astonished reply, “Is this for real?”
Chaya Raichik’s Libs of TikTok offered the opinion, “Netflix film called “Leave The World Behind” produced by the Obamas includes a scene demonizing white people. White people are the only group you’re allowed and celebrated to be racist towards and it will be put into movies by the most influential people.”
Attorney and commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek in a post similar to End Wokeness, wrote, “‘Leave The World Behind’ is a new Netflix special produced by the Obamas about cyber attacks and a “global communications breakdown”. Watch this, then watch the video the WEF posted a few years ago warning about a future ‘cyber pandemic’ and tell me we’re not being programmed.”
Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, CEO of America Mission, shared a video of Roberts appearing on Jimmy Fallon Tonight in which the actress states that the book inspiring the film “was on President Obama’s reading list.” She added that “he and Sam collaborated with the notes in the beginning and the notes when we were done filming, in the post-production…”
The implication is that the former President would not only have been aware of the overtly racist messaging but potentially had a direct hand in it from conception to final execution.
Audiences have since responded very negatively to the film overall with it garnering a 38% Audience score with over 2,500 ratings as of December 12th compared to a 75% score from mainstream media film critics. Online criticism of its racist messaging has resounded throughout social media, following several conservative commentators’ objections.
I think Eva Vlaardingerbroek needs to stop freaking out over nothing. That’s my response to summing this up.

And when is John Ringo (a no talent hack I’ve never heard of before until 2018) going to apologize for hijacking the word “Woke”?
Netflix serves as a money laundering scheme post Presidency to make millionaires out of Barack and Michelle Obama who have no other skills other then as politicians and long ago lawyers.
The race divider Gayle King interviewed Julia Roberts in an “exclusive” on CBS Morning Black TV and this anti- White stuff never came up, bit surprise.

We can forget Michelle running for President - or VP...
I thought it was entertaining. These people are overthinking it.
I thought the title was “I Wish The World Had A Behind.”
Leave the World Behind...how about...leave this film behind.
In one of his ghost written ”autobiographies”, Obama admitted that he “became adept at hiding his anger against White people.” Guess he doesn’t think he has to, anymore.
The sad thing about SF with a ‘message’ is that it’s not worth watching unless you have a character that you can empathize with (Like Silent Running).
If it’s just people trading woke jargon, it quickly becomes grating.
Barack Obama has been saying “eff you whitey” in subtle and not so subtle ways for most of his adult life, as anyone who has ready his first and honest autobiography “Dreams of My Father” knows.
Beelzebama is a master baiter, an ardent race racketeer! Perhaps Big Mike will administer “the rod of correction” to that vicious fool!
Author is a homo pervert.
Such typical woke stupidity and race-baiting. Its pure Barack and Big Mike.
Reality is, when the world falls apart, I guarantee black folk will be be doling out trust especially to white people...
Do not care what you think..newb.
