I was watching the trailer for "Bel-Air" [Fresh Prince], and this movie started playing, which is now free on YouTube:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1HQoax2a1MSince my numerous personal difficulties have been talked about on here lately, I must say - it really drives me batty that movies like this are produced - how is it good to tell Black people they are oppressed like this, or remind them of shit that happened decades ago?
Who the fuck would want to interact with a race of people who allegedly treat them like shit? And that's what this kind of material does. Imagine a movie that portrayed Black people as being these nasty pieces of shit who abuse White people, and use the thumb of institutions to hold them down?
On top of that, I feel like this almost flips reality around - I recall a poll from around 2013 that Thomas Sowell mentioned that said more people think Black people have anti-White attitudes than the reverse.
I don't see this as being a positive good.
IMO, it is not a positive good to tell people some wussy virus will kill them, when 99.99% of healthy non-elderly people are going to survive it. And I don't think telling Black people they face discrimination like this is good either.
Yeah, people have negative attitudes about other races, but discrimination like what is shown in this movie are not true.
Meanwhile, look at what was just sent to teachers in my city [below] - literally, overt anti-White ACTUAL INSTITUTIONAL discrimination.
But somehow that's ok?
"Positive" discrimination is good?
I tend not to start new threads...but I really have no idea how to navigate this issue.
I'm not going to be overtly anti-White. Nor am I going to ignore this. I'm fine taking a colour-blind approach, but I feel like this type of media forces us to take sides.
I'm over 20 minutes in so far, which is longer than I tolerated watching "Rocco" on Netflix initially.
