David Benioff & D.B. Weiss (GOT Creators) Doing Alt. History Drama - Confederate @ HBO

[Mr Hate Coffee]

This is some The Man in the High Castle shyt but terrible.

Because of the Man in the High Castle, I don't think black folks should be outraged about this. There's a precedent.

Either way, this is a risky move for all involved so that script better be on point

 

[Kinguno]

Not going to lie as a fan of alternate history I'm going to watch this

I enjoyed the James Franco 11.23 shyt

But it's disgusting and disrespectful to do some shyt like this where a show about us enslaving whites wouldn't even make it to meetings to get thought out

I will say this watch them include Obama in this shyt like the history channel did

 

[Ziggiy]

Its kinda stupid. If it wasn't for the civil war then slavery would've ended in like 20 years anyways. America moved on from an agrarian society and there was no longer a need for slaves.

Cac alert like a MUTHAfukkA

 

[Bboystyle]

hell to the fukking no. They need to work on a prequel to GOT. fukk this racists ass shyt

 

[Mowgli]

Basically the future cacs want

I know they are partnered with 2 GREAT BLACK WRITERS on this project. But this premise is uncomfortable for me. I guess I'll have to see how it's executed. I already cringe at slavery shows.

But UNDERGROUND was incredible, so maybe they have a fresh way to handle this material, that won't be offensive to black people.

Yes they needed some tokens for political reasons. Afrer season 3 theyll be gone

Black folk ain't feeling this, because we're burnt out on seeing ourselves as slaves on screens big and small. Southern CACs aren't feeling this, because they're worried that they won't be painted in the greatest light. As if them refusing to get over their civil war "heroes" and not letting go of their flag wasn't doing the damage already.

Besides that, I can't think of a single successful show that ran on an alternate history premise, anyways.

 

[PortCityProphet]

Man ive been wanting to do an alternate universe show/movie where white folks were the slaves and black folks were the masters.
I really need to learn how to write a movie script

 

[FAH1223]

Sounds terrible

 

[Norrin Radd]

GoT creator #1: “They’re complaining about there being no Black people in our fantasy show. What do we do?”

GoT creator #2: “I GOT A FANTASY SHOW FOR THEY ASS"

 

[Neuromancer]

This is a fukkin terrible idea.

 

[Ziggiy]

GoT creator #1: “They’re complaining about there being no Black people in our fantasy show. What do we do?”

GoT creator #2: “I GOT A FANTASY SHOW FOR THEY ASS"

I bet that's EXACTLY how that went down

 

[Tasha And]

Can't wait until they have a Tyrion type character, a slave owner that is witty and charming and "morally grey" because even though he's from a slave owning family, boy does he make a good quip

And then you know there will be a Jaimie type character, someone from the south that owned and raped slaves but ends up on a redemption arc after befriending a slave

 

[Makavalli]

This is some The Man in the High Castle shyt but terrible.

Hollyweird seriously got some racists white supremesists in the cut for creating shyt like this on some covert mental black ops shyt. Evil ass cacs

 

[Gentility]

Unbelievable. Nothing good will come of this.
