What was racist about the teaser?


While I am not sure how this series will play out, I don't understand why people are upset about the teaser. It was just a 30 second clip saying "hey, how about we don't do blackface anymore."

If anything it was anti-black face. Do people re want to wear that these days?

reply

Nothing really. A trailer with black people talking to whites about race - with attitude - is more than enough to trigger a massive response. This is Ghostbusters all over again, heh.

"hey, how about we don't do blackface anymore."


Who is we? There is no real unified cultural paradigm. America is a rather racially balkinized place.

One need not even watch the teaser. The title of the show is in and of itself blatantly racist. Plus, it is based upon a blatantly racist film.

reply

did you even watch the movie dumb ass?

reply

It reminds white people they're not the best in the world. So you've made them angry for suggesting they might hate non-white people. They're just delicate little snowflakes just sit back and watch the butthurt and laugh at their pathetic behaviour. 

reply

Sorry I didn't mean to bring memories of incest back to you.... Eh who we kidding you enjoy it, stop ejaculating inside your mom, she'll get pregnant and have an even more deformed baby version of you.

reply

It generalised all white people and was racist to white people by implying that they are all racist.

This type of racist *beep* doesn't belong on TV.

reply

How about me make a trailer about a series called "dear black people" in which we tell black people to please stop stealing cars. I mean where is the problem? We are just saying "how about we don't steal cars anymore"? Nobody can be against this right?

reply

If this show had the opposite premise, with white people attacking blacks, the Liberals and SJWs would be losing their collective shìt and everybody would be trashing it. Don't even kid yourself. You all know it is true.

When I found out about this I couldn't even believe it was a real thing.

How is this for a TV show: a series where black people represent 13% of a population and yet are responsible for 50% of the murders committed in it. And that doesn't count other crimes. And a large portion of them also embrace ignorance in their language and 75% have children out of wedlock. And yet white people are the scumbags. Oh wait... That's called reality.

reply

Because it's pretty much accusing a whole entire race of performing an act I've never seen any white person that I know do. Ever. And the people who do are obviously *sholes, but this is an ignorant trailer for assuming every white person does. It's racist. And yes black people can be racist. That's like saying oh man that black guy murdered someone so all black guys are murderers. It's ridiculous.
