Watch out Harry Potter for there is another secret society of wizards roaming around but unlike you and your British kin, these folks are American… and Black.
Focus Features released the first trailer for Kobi Libii-directed film The American Society of Magical Negroes starring Justice Smith and we must say, it looks like a helluva concept to bring to make into a movie. Centering around an everyday man named Aren (Smith) who tries to navigate his life around a white man’s world, he’s recruited to a secret society of Black magicians whose main purpose is to make white peoples lives easier and more comfortable in society. No, seriously.
As it is explained to him by one of his teachers (David Alan Grier) white people are the most “dangerous animal on the planet” whenever they feel “uncomfortable.” No lies detected there. In order to keep the Black community safe from white rage, the magicians do what they can to keep the white community feeling at peace in America.
Now that he’s in the loop, Aren is tasked to use his newfound magic to make a particular white man happier with his life in his workplace, but things go awry when said white man and Aren both develop feelings for the same woman. Having to choose between upholding his Magical Negro oath or finding love, Aren finds himself in quite the pickle as everything The American Society of Magical Negroes hinges on what he chooses to do. Keep the white man happy or make himself happy.

You beat me to it. I bet he’s behind this nonsense.
No such poem exists. Someone took Kipling's The Beginnings and changed every instance of "English" to "Saxon".
Here is the real version The Beginnings
Kipling's son was killed in WWI, and the poem was written as a result. He was venting his anger toward the Hun.
Main character: “I’ve always felt like my job was to make white people feel comfortable.”
You’ve FAILED, miserably.
On a side note, why do so many black people seem to be enamored with very-white black people?
Justice Smith (the protagonist of this movie), Jussie Smollett, Barack Obama, etc. etc. are blacks who very obviously have a high percentage of white ancestry. The left loves to attack black men, like Clarence Thomas, with accusations of being an Uncle Tom. And Biden proved that being black is merely a meaningless social construct (you ain’t black if you don’t vote for him).
It’s gotten to the point that supporting the views of MLK Jr. is now racist against black people.
You are 100% correct, but does not the same poem exhibit the same thoughts?
There are many here who are still descendants of the English, and the same thoughts hold true. They try to be kind, they try to be nice, they try to be conciliatory, and the others see it as weakness.
Until nations are destroyed and continents burn.
they want us dead
Yes but not that many even know of spike lee.
