Black people do not fall for this foolishness https://twitter.com/putyourselfontv/status/1274128297891373057
Chattel slavery is a wholly European invention and the suggestion that we would engage in this practice if we had the chance is ahistorical and an odious idea even as fiction
And the awful trailer (content warning) flaunts the worst elements of American slavery with the race roles reversed attempting to induce vengeful bloodlust from Black people.
The point is not to do what they did to us it's to stop the doing of the bad things to anyone!

Of course the title itself is a fallacy. The white people in the film are called crackas but cracker means a person who cracks a whip so in this world the Black people would be the crackas
Did anyone working on this stop & think what hell is going on this doesn't make any sense

And you guessed it, this project was created by a white man who clearly has his head jammed up his ass. I'm sure the moral of the story is slavery and racism is bad but this is an incredibly gross way of making that point.
Previous iterations of this role reversal fantasy like White Man's Burden were similarly tone deaf and fell flat for a reason: issa a wack idea.
Producers stop making these projects!
