Members of the media cheered during a screening of the racial horror-comedy film Get Out when the black protagonist murdered an all-white family one-by-one.
Conservative film critic Armond White reported the "all-media" audience's reaction on Friday, in his scathing review of the film in National Review.
The New York Film Critics Circle removed White from its group after he allegedly made insulting comments about black director Steve McQueen during an annual awards ceremony. He called McQueen an “embarrassing doorman and garbageman,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
White compared the film's director Jordan Peele, of Comedy Central's "Key and Peele," to President Barack Obama in how he handled racial tension.
"In Get Out, just as Obama did, Peele exploits racial discomfort, irresponsibly playing racial grief and racist relief off against each other, subjecting imagination and identification to political sway," White wrote.
White complained that Get Out used "trite ‘post-racial' ironies' that protected Obama, and cites one of the main character's comments about the former president.
"The comedy side churns out trite ‘post-racial' ironies that have defined political humor for the past eight years (protecting and defending former president Obama) and that now threaten to continue in bizarre guises like this. Rose informs Chris that her parents (Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener) ‘would have voted for Obama a third time if they could,'" he wrote.

Don’t know the movie. Was it a family of axe murderers or old fashioned victims?
The term post-racial is puzzling:
I find the people who most use that term are the biggest racists, seemingly terrified that people will get along.
They don’t want anything “post” about racism at all.
That’s similar to the term transparency,commonly used by people covering up all kinds of stuff, including pedophilia.
post-racial
I have never heard the term before.
“Obama, the post-racial president”
They broke my ear with that one.
We’ve been there done that. It was called Blaxploitation in the 70s starting with Shaft, et al.......
Give the poor downtrodden typical black victim mentality a hatin-whitey revenge boost. It makes money for the makers and makes the viewers poorer.
I thought all the movie people and critics were at the gatherings of their fellow witches and devil worshippers putting hexes and conjuring evil against Trump this week.
The only good thing about that movie was the music. I can't remember it but I remember thinking it was kinda good.
Hollyweird doesn't need black folks to go to their movies. Never did; never will.
Racially divisive movies: "baaaad whitey" movies, will have their 15 minutes of fame and then fade into rightful oblivion. Nothing new here.
What I am waiting for is a movie BASED on Obama's life. Despite the fact that critics will ADORE it, it will be a true stinkerooni.
Boycott movie theaters.
Would that be with the "head witch," Shrillary, standing over a boiling cauldron chanting "Double, double, toil and trouble"?? Add witches cackling here.
The “Django” movie (what I consider a white-hate movie) got to my local WalMart. As far as I could see over the course of 2-3 weeks they didn’t sell any of them.
BTW....that Obama movie you talk about is already out....it’s called something like “Southside with you”.....total Camelot horsesh!t fantasy.
Just more noise from the Bleating Blacks.
If it was a video of a domestic-black-savage, or a muzz-hole killing a bunch of RATagandists.....
I’d cheer.
They broke my ear with that one.
We're in the era of "Post Propaganda" Post-racial
Post-Christian
Post-masculine
Post-American
What they mean is, "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, WHITEY!"
1. Lol. I wonder when the store manager was finally allowed to dump them all in the circular file.
2. Camelot horsesh!t fantasy??
I LIKE your phraseology--pithy, mixed with a bit of history and right on the money. Well put!
Great, now we'll be able to find out who he really is.
Oh wait!
That's not going to happen, is it.
What they mean is, "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, WHITEY!"
YES indeed.
It’s fascinating that in a “racist country” like the US of A a movie like this can even be made???
I mean if you follow through shouldn’t the white racist kill everyone involved with the making of this film?
How does Rap moosik exist?
How is their unwedding white women, in the US, with black children?
HOw can there be 2000 Mosque?
How can there be 30+ million Illegal invaders?
Being of ‘white privilege’ for many whites doesn’t seen like much of a privilege or an advantage?
“Boycott movie theaters.”
I’ve been doing that since 1981. The last movie I ever saw at a movie theater was Apocalypse Now in ‘81. Haven’t missed it one bit.
I cringe everytime I hear dome Christian conservative talk about some movie they just watched.
And also did away with my TV programming in 2009.
