The way they caricatured white people in Get Out was hilariously racist, but I believe that's how blacks feel around whites, because that's how I feel around blacks. Unless I know them really well there's an insidious quality to them, as the movie says, it's not what they say it's how they say it. Blacks always have this dismissive smug attitude toward whites when they have them surrounded, but otherwise the black plats the fool, the jigaboo, they think they're so different and special but they're not, and their poor little victim mentality is disgusting. I really wish blacks had their own country to go to so they would stop feeling oppressed. Whites too. And mixed people too. Nobody wants to be around others who talk weird and act weird and abuse you smugly just because you look like the villain from the story in their head.
@Jazzy_Butts Things like that weigh on me a bit. I did not think ever think about race in my interactions with people of other races until the past several years of the topic of race being inundated into every form of media. In my uni classes (these topics come up often because lol humanities major
) several black students on multiple occasions have talked about how they "feel" "microaggressions" from white people just being in the same room, passing on the street, etc. They don't believe the notion that whites in the 90's and 00's didn't even think about that garbage, and didn't until race became the coming generation's topic of contention. Gen Z kids around me genuinely believe if I see a black person I'm seething, and that I must because I'm a bit older as well.
I do believe that if people feel targeted that feeling has a basis and it's genuine, but I dunno, millennial whites kind of grew up to not pay race any mind and then got the rug pulled out from under them. Or maybe I was in a bubble, and race relations were just as terrible when I was a kid!
