    The movie isn't even out yet and people are yelling "Racism!". This is just as bad as the people that called "The Forest" racist when it had nothing to do with race.
    Just enjoy the movie and stop making everything bad for other people. If it IS about racism, that's just a good thing. If it's satirical and ends up being based around racism, it probably has a core message of: "racism = bad" and that's even if people notice it. The general audience is going to think it's just another horror movie. So please, don't ruin this any further.

      Who thought the forest was racist? Terrible comparison. This film is obviously targeted towards the modern delusion of liberals that African Americans are suddenly back in the civil rights era, while hypocritically blaming whites and generalizing them as hillbilly, kkk members.
      In all fairness though, the cinematography looks great and I'll still give it a chance in the context of horror

        @alienworkship-zero
        Oh,boyevery time a film comes out that's made from a black perspective (by a black director)the right-wing trolls come out b****ing about it. God forbid anybody challenge or question the white hegemony on things (educate yourself and look that up, please. I know you won't,lol.) The reality is, racism is still around todayit's still a part of the everyday reality of black people TODAYit's not a "thing of the past" like you obviously think it is. It has nothing to do with what liberals thinkand just so you know,all liberals aren't white,FYI. So get off that stupid stereotype. White folks are so used to being front and center in films and always having everything be about them,that y'all can't handle it when the script is finally flipped for a change, and you're seen as the "Others", which black people and other people of color have been used to for longer than we care to remember. Hell, white folks stereotyped, demonized, and marginalized black people and people of color literally for the first 60 years of filmbut ONE film made by a black person (which you clearly haven't seen) with possible stereotypes of white folks makes you trip the hell out. Get the hell over yourself and actually SEE the film first. Also white people aren't above being stereotypedhell, they stereotype each other all the time in film. So stop your silly whining and actually see the film first,duh.

          The problem is the double standard.

            Have you seen the trailer? If so, how can you say with a straight face that this movie might not be about racism?

                    There's absolutely no guarantee it's about racism. Although if it is, there's no problem with that.

                      For while when we had a black president, we were living in this post-racial lie, he added. The idea of, Were past it were past it all! For me, and for many people out there as all black people know theres racism. I experience it on an everyday basis. This movie was meant to reveal that theres this monster of racism lurking underneath some of these seemingly innocent conversations and situations.
                      That's Jodan Peele's (the writer) own wordsit's about racism. Not "KKK hillbillies" but casual racism and racism nonetheless. You're full of beep you didn't read any script, and don't seem to know what you're talking about.
                      Who do you think would win in a fight, Liam Neeson, or Liam Neeson?

                          I didn't say it wasn't about racism. It totally could be. And no. I didn't read the script along with the other 99.99% of people that don't read scripts to unreleased movies.

                            I was referring to the guy below you who claimed I didn't read a script and that I was lying

                              Who reads a script to a movie? Is that like the new thing now? Oh hon, let's go to a movie tonight. Hon replies, no wait I haven't read the script yet.
                              Good grief!
