Did anyone else think this movie was racist AF?

The whole plot of the movie is predicated on white people being incredibly jealous of black people’s ‘natural gifts’ and genetics and overall superiority.

Whatever, I watched the movie. Not the best not the worst, but that just sort of irked me throughout the movie. I just thought it was a ridiculous double-standard.

Well yea, that’s kind of the basis for the movie

Calling out the white liberals who act like they’re not racist but still are

Get Out is a weird movie in that it shows the racism of the Left. However, I’m sure the people who made it also think the Right is even more racist.

Key and Peele. Asked their whole careers on turning race dynamics into comedy, for entertainment. I highly doubt Peele is under some pre-disposed racial baiting bullshite

It's about the hypocrisy of white liberals who objectify black people and blackness while privately propogating the same racial stereotypes they publicly decry.

Basically all those people who had weird sex dreams about Obama.

The conundrum is the writer is 50/50 black white. Which angle is he writing from?...

It's not racist, it's racial.

It was making fun of progs trying to assimilate black people into their culture of acceptance...the only way they would do it though is by their rules...like today.

It was entertaining enough but not especially memorable and not rewatchable. Kind of like Black Panther.

its only racist if you look at it as targeting you rather than an overall objective opinion on how races play a part in our culture
