Haven't seen "Get Out". Tell me if this is accurate.

Probably not going wrote:

Smart, well-rounded black guy with hot white girlfriend goes to meet her family. Then scary stuff happens. The white people are clearly evil. There are analogies to plantations/slavery. Then he just f*cks up a ton of them. Killing a bunch, he then escapes.

That about it?

Ah, is someone feeling insecure and offended? Need a safe space little snowflake?

Did you really not see it? Lol

No, that's not about it.

The white people actually want to be the black people.

First screenplay by a black author to generate 100m in box office revenues. So I've heard but not verified.

No, it's not really like that. It's pretty tense and I would think no matter what color you are you can't help putting yourself in his place as the main character in a horror film. It's also pretty funny and even funny in how terrifying bland white bread Allison Williams can be. You're not going to be thinking, Not all white people! It's better done than that.

And it does have themes of taking over black bodies, but it's more relevant than just remembering slavery. It happens to this day, taking black people's contributions and not giving them credit while white culture just co-opts it and makes profit off it. Just as a very minor example, I just saw a white man and woman on the Seth Meyers show promoting a podcast called "Throwing Shade." Um, that was a black term that started a decade ago, and now they have a podcast centered on it like they invented it? um, that's a lot of chutzpah.

Is that the best you could do? You have all the time in the world to make a joke and you go with "safe space"? Do better.

1. Black people had the first opportunity to capitalize on "throwing shade" and they didn't. Every black person that heard the phrase had the head start but not the vision.

2. How do you pay black culture?

3. How does the phrase belong to black people and if so how did the white man and woman steal it? Is it now in the hands of white culture? Why am I not being paid for it then?

1. Black people have podcasts, too, but don't end up on a late-night network talk show. Black people make money off their originality and creative endeavors, too, but I am saying to hit mainstream culture, it is a much lower threshold for white people. They don't have to be creative or original. They don't have to be Jay-Z. They just have to regurgitate what's already out there to a larger audience who is more receptive to it from an "accessible" source. Like Elvis singing the blues to Paula Deen cooking soul food and Miley Cyrus twerking. That's why you have Trump and George W. Bush, who are C- students with rich daddies, who know how to market to their audience. And then you have Obama, a total self-made person who had to be a stellar person to be considered even. Different standards.

2. With attention, proper credit, accolades, fame, money, residuals, royalties. With due acknowldegement. It happens sometimes. Get Out is making bank. It happens. But it's not like Paula Deen ever credited her black cook for her recipes or gave her anything but a n hourly wage. By not saying someone got to where they were just because they're black, as if it's easier.

3. Language is for everyone. Just don't act like you invented anything by branding it personally. You're paid every day by being given the benefit of the doubt and a lower mortgage rate. You've saved a lot of money by being white. And your threshold for being cool is way lower.
