Not buying the part about using only black people.


it doesnt make any sense that other races esp their own kind are excluded from the procedure, good genetics can be found in others races as well

Obviously, it was just a copout reason to justify the "oppression against blacks" narrative the film tried to push. When he asked why they chose black people, it was almost obvious they didn't have an answer and they basically had to admit "hurr durr I don't get it either I think something about black people being strong thanks to years of slavery and so we just decided to roll with it man".

Wasn't that addressed at some point? I recall someone offering a biological reason. It was also implied that the perpetrators of the crime felt it was okay to do that to a black person, but not a white person.

That's the part I'm talking about. Before the surgery he said "Who knows? Strength I guess. I want to be hip and black people are trendy". It was a stupid non-answer kind of reason because Scandinavians are some of the tallest, strongest, most well endowed people on the planet. Centuries of viking raids could have afforded them the same thing black people could, but it wouldn't have worked as a "fuck white people" film otherwise.

Could Get Out, in part, be about being biracial? Jordan Peele is half white, half black; Get Out is about white people's brains being put into black bodies and essentially a merging of the two; there are several lines in the movie about the white people wanting to become stronger, faster.... It could be sort of a secondary way of interpreting the film and be an insight into the subconscious of the filmmaker. Jordan Peele may think of himself as a white person and a black person sharing the same body.

It’s not uncommon for half-black people to make the most noise about ‘black issues’, including some of the prominent BLM agitators, there’s an identity thing that gnaws at them.

They should just get on with forming real relationships with people, without obsessing about race.
