Amazon Is Developing An Alt-History Show Called ‘Black America’Created by Will Packer, the show will imagine a world where black people control the South.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Packer is teaming up “Boondocks” creator Aaron McGruder on “Black America,” a drama set in an alternate history in which freed African American slaves have been given control of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama as reparations following the Civil War. 

The announcement of “Black America” comes just days after HBO sparked controversy with the announcement of its own alternate history drama, “Confederate."



This should go well

No thanks. I will keep watching Ray Donovan, Homeland, Shameless and Billions on Showtime.

This is actually one of the reasons white people in the South were afraid of freeing the slaves even if they thought slavery was wrong.

The black population in many southern cities at that time was greater than the white population. In South Carolina, for example, the black population was 65%.

So, basically all the good inventions don't happen and all we have is peanut butter?

Sounds like a boring show.

I assume that they are basing the premise on Jonestown Mississipi.

The latest episode of an ongoing cultural war.





Eventually, it will become an openly declared physical war.

I'm sure there will be low crime, higher education, civilized culcha, and a well run government. Can't wait to see what could have been.
