In that stupid ass Xmen first class movie where they say "Slavery" and then it zooms in on the black dude.

One of the Fast and Furious movies, they Asian rice rocket has a Playstation in it and the asian dudes are playing a game.



or maybe those are pretty blatant.

The slavery thing, although cheesy, was completely intentional, both by Kevin Bacon staring at him, and the director showing his face. The villain is trying to make a point, trying to "reach out" to the black guy with that comment.

Y'all know how these old white folks operate....trying to connect with some "I used to go to the poorer neighborhoods and play hoops" type shyt....same thing pretty much.

I remember this long ass debate on the old site where people were talking about how racist the movie is ignoring people's explanations like this.

If you're trying to talk about those in power "enslaving" people, you're gonna look at the black guy to connect

If you're gonna talk about those in power wanting control over bodies, you're gonna look at the women.

Cism in hollywood movies isn't unintentional it's subliminal.


The writers damn well know what they're doing by killing the black guy off in horror movies first, or portraying said black dude in a stereotypical manner.
