The thing I find weird is the dissonance I see, where people praise a show like this and look at the people hunting the Nazis and cheer... not understanding that there couldn't be a black show like this, because while Nazis are looked back as inarguably evil... people don't look back at the hundreds of years of this very treatment of black people as nearly as bad. So while they cheer when a Nazi gets killed as 'justice', they don't want to see a black person even get recompense by way of money, and damn sure don't care to see it gotten by way of violence unless it's against some stylized, larger-than-life plantation owner a la Django.
Meanwhile, half the people watching this show have familial wealth due to this very type of atrocity over a longer period, and a nikka can't even get a meaningful 'sorry' from the government. But America was willing to assist in the disenfranchisement of brown people in Palestine to 'make things right' after WW2?

I like the show, but man I can't rock with some of the reactions I've been seeing to it because it's like people are willfully blind to America being complicit in the same type of shyt they're furious about here.

But, to restate... I like the show so far.

I dig what your saying. In my opinion it's up to black writers and producers to develop and write a story that shows the black experience through the African American lense. I do believe that getting that type of work out there is more difficult than let's say queen and slim, but just like this show hunters I believe it can be done. I believe that black people in the movie industry aren't really interested in showing those types of stories, they're more into intersectionality and creating fictional characters like bigger long that call a black legend a bytch (harriet) smh.

I found this article about the creator of hunters: Hunters Creator David Weil Worked for Years to Become an Overnight Success ...it's a jew who wanted to tell a story about his people that in the end was fantasy (the killing) but he dropped gems throughout and got his point across. I dont see why black people in the industry can't get a show like this in one of the streaming platforms. Just my opinion.

It's simple.
There's no dispute that Nazis were wrong. People say it, people believe it, people apply it in life.
But if you ask people about slavery, they'll say it's wrong, and maybe they'll even believe that a little, but they won't live through that knowledge enough to back seeing what actual comeuppance for that situation looks like.
It's been hundreds of years and certain people still ain't ready for that conversation, damn sure not enough to let media be media and have it not be called some kind of racial-stirring niche show. Had people ready to throw Watchmen into the bushes episode 1 because of them showing an actual piece of American history that most people just didn't know about.

Most white Americans aren't willing to observe black plight because they can't help bristle at the reality that they directly benefited from it - it doesn't let them spout their 'we should just move forward as one' narrative if you reflect the reality of the fallout to them and show how hollow all their posturing about being post-racial actually is.

I agree with you but just because white people are hateful and stupid and not ready for the conversation, doesn't mean black people can't tell stories like the Tulsa Oklahoma bombings. My attitude is fukk if they have a problem with it. As long as it's done right I feel like black people will support that type of content. Those white people in suits understand money and notoriety.

My belief is that the average black person in the industry is not interested in that type of content. That's why we dont see it. Im happy watchmen got some love. Movies and series about the black experience can be done.

I've only seen 2 episodes. 1st episode was really really good. 2nd was a bit slow but still good. I see it going in a good direction so I'll watch a few episodes today hopefully.
