That’s a very insightful point from Maya.
GET OUT is an attempt by liberals to re-establish black victimhood. If blacks don’t see themselves as victims, they won’t stay on the Democrat plantation.
GET OUT tells blacks that we are not in a ‘post-racial’ post Obama world, but are, in fact, still in a heavily (cartoonishly) racist society out to get them and turn them into slaves.
If you flipped the racial paranoia with blacks as the bad guys, there’d be riots at the theaters trying to show it.
This is a continuation of the effort to make whits ‘the other’ in America and keep blacks distrustful of the progress they’ve made.
There’s also a movie - forever going higher - bar of what’s “racist.”
The white family who accept their unmarried white daughter dating a black man and sleeping with him in their roof while visiting are laughed at by the protagonist as racist because of ‘micro aggressions.’
The film did surprisingly well, mostly playing to the African-American audiences. It garnered 99% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The only negative review was from a black writer.
Some of the most racist people I have ever met are northerners...............
