A satire film intended to send a provocative message about race relations bombed at the box office on its opening weekend.

Focus Features' "The American Society of Magical Negroes" took the 9th spot at the box office last weekend, grossing $1,304,270 while playing in 1,147 locations around the U.S.

The film centers around a young man who is recruited to be part of a "society" where Black people use their magical powers to make White people comfortable, so that they don't hurt Black people.

The movie's title plays off a trope of Black characters in films who are set up to help White characters in their pursuits, like Michael Clarke Duncan’s character in "The Green Mile," according to a review from the Los Angeles Times.

This thing was based on a satire sketch from Comedy Central by a comedy team, known as key and Peele. You can see it on YouTube.

I agree. Whites are the only race that will lay down and take the beating. then get up and cut their own throat by willingly turn over power by voting for those that will not rule fairly.
All because we fear the label of racist or racism.
