This seems interesting.

quote:
“Confederate” chronicles the events leading to the Third American Civil War. The series takes place in an alternate timeline, where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families of people in their thrall. Production on “Confederate” will begin after the final season of “Game of Thrones.”

As long as there are boobs and blood, I feel it will be a hit.

Sounds like Man in the High Castle, but even worse than that was.

Note to self: Ignore the opinions of J Murdah in the future as he clearly has bad taste.

Somewhere Jeff Sessions dick just exploded.
Also, this sounds like a copy of the book "Underground Airplanes"

Or the book, The Man in the High Castle.
This sounds absolutely awful, and full of SJW political nonsense. I guess they can't get people worked up enough about "systemic racism" so they have to resort to fantasy worlds.

We didn't even get to the double digit pay mark without one of you people screaming SJW. Never change TD, never change.

Ok. So when do they pass a Civil Rights act as a result of this humanitarian push?

I'm not sure how good this will be, but they have at least earned a chance.

And was it Spike Lee who made the "if the South won" mockumentary in which music, art and society in general would all suck if not for the deep artistry and brilliant innovation of culcha?

i mean a project where an alternative universe is created and slavery still exists doesn't really have much wiggle room that in that department. that premise is ridiculous

Probably more of a ripoff of Harry Turtledove's books

It's already been done. The british mockumentary "The Confederate States of America". This has to be their skeleton. Link to youtube.

Are Rev's Jessie and Al the main characters?
Posted on 7/19/17 at 9:32 pm to dallastiger55
That will go over oh so well.

This is typical. Scapegoat the South to draw attention away from the rest of the country.
