FrisbeeDude posted... what yall dont seem to understand is that you dont necessarily need to glorify slavery to be offensive. Game of Thrones didnt glorify rape, but its graphic depiction of it (mostly for shock value) turned off a LOT of women. So what? A show isn't going to please anyone and HBO has the platform to be able to show the gruesome realities that come with being human. If a show bothers you so much, do not watch it. That is no reason to not have the show aired. That's your prerogative. I personally would not like to see people have to succumb to the pressures of earning an income by doing a show for white Americans(because black folks sure as hell aren't clamoring for a show where slavery never ended lol) that have a fetish for a revisionist history where they have even MORE power. I literally provided an idea for HBO for those that are so eager for a drama centered around an alternate history. empower some black actors and directors. Do something that our community would no doubt be proud to support No, that's YOUR prerogative and it seems you want everyone else to follow suit. My take is that there is no reason to censor this or not have a show because it might upset some people. And I don't know what you are talking about in your second paragraph. Exactly. You're for a show (like a lot of other white Americans) that will almost certainly depict people of color in mainly low class roles and situations Me (and a lot of other black Americans) are weary of yet ANOTHER production of black people as slaves. It's a played out, lazy narrative. Its historical porn you don't have to be ashamed watching. Sorry for not apologizing for being against some 2018 version of roots --- If you're not voting like a black woman, your opinion doesn't matter to me <cite>FrisbeeDude posted [p:904775834] in Are you in...
