This. I want white people that to feel uncomfortable and evil for the despicable acts through time they felt they were "born" to do through some right. I did not like the payoff though. I needed alot more.. Kill the whole fukking city.I’m torn. On one hand I do think the world needs to be exposed to the horrors of white racism. People gloss over the shyt they did to us far too much. I remember people online saying they didn’t even know about Tulsa, Oklahoma until they saw that scene on HBO’s Watchmen.
White depravity needs to be exposed so they can’t hide in historical obscurity.
So I do think there needs to be a portrayal. But it should be framed within the context of blacks literally fukking these people up. Brutally. In retaliation. I’m talking Martyrs type shyt. We need to feel just as comfortable seeing violence depicted towards white oppression as we see the reverse.
Which is why I’m still waiting on a movie about the Haitian Revolution.
What’s good Hollywood?
Also, the other issue is black stories are too monolithic. All of our depictions can’t just be about suffering. More Afro-speculative fiction as well.

Yea the show is graphic, but these graphic despicable things happened to black folk for years.

black bodies can be defiled at will it seems in hollyweird
Me too. I’m almost ashamed to think about the carnage I desire when I read even a fraction of some of our history.
It’s a dark, dark place.

The Wire is basically a description and explanation of a city in dysfunction at every level the ghetto, the docks, the police precinct, the newsroom, and the public school. It’s way more nuanced and goes beyond “trauma porn”.Let me guess... you watch Snowfall (the very called "trauma porn" you claim) religiously, and your favorite movies are "12 Years a Slave" "Django" and "Harriet"?
I bet "The Wire" is your go to. Some of you are a fukking trip. I can't.
This shyt is an opportunistic cash grab in this climate and a shameless aesthetic rip off of Peele’s work.
U dumb mothafukkas and your “reminders of what cacs did”

Lena Waithe, Tyler Perry & Lee Daniels are the worst thing to ever happen to black cinema.
I dont think it's really opening any eyes, and mixing it with horror blurs the line even more between historical fiction and entertainment. White depravity is real, not a bad fairy tale of imaginary creatures and spirits.
Want to add some entertainment? Have black people fight these things with brute force effortlessly throughout (as opposed to being terrorized throughout) and live at the end.

I watched this shyt and legit thought Jordan Peele was behind it. I was confused by the lack of depth to anything and the supernatural elements are weird fit. That scene where they played cat in the bag with Luckys baby while she was being raped was horrifying and there’s other shyt that confuses me.
It really is trauma porn and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
