I don't get it...
The screencap is from Get Out, a horror movie that intertwines it's plot VERY closely with racism and politics.
The quote in this screencap is someone trying to convince the main character on the left that they aren't racist. (hint: they are REALLY FUCKING HORRIFYINGLY RACIST).
Idk about the other guy, but I understood this, and I personally enjoyed the movie (alternate ending is way more likely, let's be honest) but is this post referring to a specific event, or just commenting on racists in general?
Exactly. Does this mean any screenshot from a show or movie with a political joke is a valid post here just because?
Yes, it does. Did you know memes weren’t memes before they were memes? I know right? Anything can be a meme.
It displays that liberals hide their racism.
Not sure why this is downvoted. Jordan Peele conceived the film as a critique of racism among white liberals.
I thought automod removed this post because it wasn’t “a meme.” Like I don’t know what a meme is. It’s a meme.
On a side note: Bradley Whitford Didn't Originally Realize His Obama Line In 'Get Out' Was A Joke.
Oh, wow lol. It's nice that it seems to have caused him to self examine though.
And yeah, it's obviously a meme. Not sure how that's even a debate. I think some people just don't like it.
Yes
You’re not very good at this. I don’t need your help to wallow in my own embarrassment. Unless you derive satisfaction from the misery of others, which is truly embarrassing. Go pet a dog. 🐶
Skadoosh.
