I think upsetting the majority is by definition divisive.I’ll be honest, I don’t really subscribe to that reasoning. A lot of things like this are called “divisive,” and what is meant by that term is simply that it upsets white people. That’s what makes it “divisive.” For decades, there were racist depictions of American Americans, all sorts of tropes, stereotypes, and jokes, but it wasn’t viewed by whites as divisive because most didn’t care what African Americans thought, and had a societal position of power anyhow in which African Americans didn’t have a sufficient voice to make the complaint heard.
I actually think it’s a little bit ironic to say, “Keeping white people happy so they don't hurt blacks doesn't help in today's climate,” with the proposed solution being that black filmmakers should not make this film, in order to keep whites happy.
If people aren’t interested in this topic or film, they won’t go see the movie, which seems to be the case anyhow.
What about upsetting the minority?I think upsetting the majority is by definition divisive.
Less divisive by definition. And it s fallacious to upset the majority just because the minority was upset in the past.What about upsetting the minority?

I looked up magical negro to see examples of the trope in movies and this movie popped up naturally, saw the director and basically I’m not surprised. Light skinned and privileged.
Well if the serious message is that whites are innately bad to blacks then its not a premise I think is good imo.

I get it and I'm really not concerned that much over it. But is it a pure comedy or does it have a message. Seems like according to the director and actor that it does. I'm just not down for things that drive us further apart using a serious message disguised as satire..The message seems more like that those demographics in power will lash out at those with less power if they become unhappy so placating them is in the minorities best interest. In the setting of American history they would be whites discriminating against blacks.
yeah it's about 24 minutes long if i remember correctly, and it's quite bad. i think it's still on youtube somewhere, much to my surprise, was thinking there'd be a lot of screaming about it.I've actually watched this before, and it's bizarre (and short). It's actually women who are the brunt of the jokes in it; rescuing men from nagging wives lol.

What a shocker.Society of Magical Negroes’ title was meant to make people squirm, for their own good

Director literally set out to attack white people. Good news is he can sleep easy on his giant pile of cash... oh

Surely you posted in with a "It's a stupid video game. Who cares." post in the Resident Evil 5 thread concerning people bitching of how native African characters were rendered?
Or, does black victimhood not get a nod from you?
