Leblanc 2,245 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It's actually kinda a funny trailer  I understand why people may have an issue with this. But it's a bloody comedy, will people lighten the hell up. If it's not funny to you then keep it moving, in this day and age there are much worse things happening to further a racist agenda and this is not one of them. I always let the good ones go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverLoader 1,254 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Well I'm mixed race and I don't have an issue with this kind of concept if done well and cleverly. Satire has been a defining force on how we evolve as a society, but this just looks bad. I mean the name of the film itself is unbelievably cringeworthy. It reinforces every stereotype going and there doesn't seem to be anything witty or humorous in the trailer itself. It looks terribly low budget, the acting is poor and "you go gurl"...really? A totally pointless and lazy effort.  There is also quite a bit of hypocrisy with some GGD members. Ya'll are letting us know you're offended by this but you lap up everything that cupcake does. Someone who is a sad figure, who buys into how a lot of white gay men see certain black women. Not good.

The amount of 'y'all's used here is incredible. ?? yaâll is used in a variety of dialects by southern Americans, African Americans and South African Indians, so to compare that to this is quite ignorant imo just like how gay slang has gone mainstream now, u cannot compare that to a movie about a white man pretending to be a black woman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Child 18,994 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This is so racist and not even comparable to White Chicks. GGD yet again showing us theyâre racists and that they donât care. âIf religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.â âAbduâl-BahĂĄ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borislshere 52,615 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 lots of white gays go around pretending they have a "sassy black woman" inside of them so I'm not at all surprised that most of them are okay with this. Embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife 6,348 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I wonder if they're hoping that there's going to be outrage surrounding this movie, and that will in turn drive interest or encourage "anti-SJW" people to go see this movie, because the content of that trailer left a lot to be desired.

Like what is the consequence of profiting of others people's culture. Cause if rhat is tha case her, if this is thar kind of dark humor, i would watch it. Do you  really think that though? Based on this trailer it is clear to me that this is just a cheap garbage movie with no passion or thought behind it that purely relies on controversy and outrage to gain attention. I highly doubt this is some masterful commentary on race issues  It's gonna slap some generic "everybody is great, embrace your differences xoxo" bullshit line in the ending and call itself progressive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
