A century and a half after slavery was abolished in the U.S., the wounds left by one of the darkest periods in American history are far from healed, as evidenced by the controversy surrounding the recent announcement of HBO’s upcoming drama series Confederate, from Game Of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, which explores an alternate timeline of seceded southern states where slavery is legal and has evolved into a modern institution.
It envisions an alternate history where newly freed African Americans have secured the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama post-Reconstruction as reparations for slavery, and with that land, the freedom to shape their own destiny. The sovereign nation they formed, New Colonia, has had a tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with its looming “Big Neighbor,” both ally and foe, the United States. The past 150 years have been witness to military incursions, assassinations, regime change, coups, etc. Today, after two decades of peace with the U.S. and unprecedented growth, an ascendant New Colonia joins the ranks of major industrialized nations on the world stage as America slides into rapid decline. Inexorably tied together, the fate of two nations, indivisible, hangs in the balance.

You don’t need to imagine it. Dave Chapelle already did that for you. The TV news the day after reparations checks go out.
I guess they can figure who watches it. Might be a better than average advertising indicator in terms of audience focus (Blacks and very liberal whites).
Just good marketing.
Check out post colonial Africa ....
Witness how fast these countries degenerated into chaos
“All made sense”
If it all made sense, than why would you rather go with the nonsense that passes for race relations today?
Why are you afraid of what makes sense? I don’t get it.
“Hide the money y’all there’s poor people around.....Ha ha ha ha ha....wit ya broke ass!”
In 1888 Brazil finally ended slavery. Just 23 years after the US Civil War.
They did it without bloodshed.
Do you hear that Mr. Lincoln?
600,000 men died for something that was going to end naturally within 30 years anyways. Was it worth it?
If Lincoln was as great as a leader he is given credit for, he could have saved the Union WITHOUT bloodshed.
Just my opinion.
It made sense as typical neo-Nazi type fodder - e.g.
“It’s been proven beyond any doubt over hundred of years in multiple continents that the two races simply cannot peacefully coexist under the same roof”
could have come directly from a certain web site - banned here at FR - and perhaps did.
It would be kinda sad though to have no jazz, no rock n roll, no decent BBQ to speak of. And we would be missing a lot of uses for peanuts.
“Running a ‘We Hate White Men and Love Blacks (Who Are Never Gang Thugs) and Are Always Kunta Kinte” will backfire big time on Democrats.”
I agree and it probably won’t even work for retaining the black vote.
The whole thing is the latest iteration of communist propaganda and the show is also a troll, trying to bring out responses that can be falsely attributed to conservatives or Republicans.
No it came directly from me by simply observing the world around us. And if you just did the same and stopped refusing to see what your “lying” eyes are telling you, you would reach the same conclusion.
You have evidence that disproves it? Where is it? US, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Europe? Or is it simply a case that the truth is too uncomfortable? Which in this case it certainly is.
I realize it’s easier to throw names and insults than intelligently discuss something, but why don’t you give it a try? I’m more than happy to be proven wrong.
Leave it to the Leftist Hollywood idiots working for Amazon to resurrect the Soviet Union’s plan for Black America: create a Black homeland in the Deep South as a separate nation — which would, of course, be susceptible to Soviet subversion. Yet Black Americans rejected such proposals and aimed at the greater prize: the full measure of rights and opportunities that is their due as Americans — a good choice for all concerned.
The greatest nation in the world has had the most interaction among races, including black and white.
““It’s been proven beyond any doubt over hundred of years in multiple continents that the two races simply cannot peacefully coexist under the same roof””
Let’s look at this. Where in history has there been the among most murder, Chao and destruction?
Answer: Europe is one.
Look at WWI and WWII. Worse than anything and or anyplace the two races were “co-existing”.
And what happened, multi-racial USA had to go over there and twice and kick their you know what’s to stop it.
Americans, white and black together, went there and stopped the carnage and mayhem.
“joins the ranks of major industrialized nations on the world stage “ LOL! Give me one example. Just one, please.
I foresee lots of 26” chrome rims and 76” widescreen TVs.
Hail High Colon. I A.
Codswallop with a dash of poppycock !
Even with the people they have had since the Civil War, haven’t Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama always ranked near the bottom of the educational achievement lists (see the link)? Hard to imagine them becoming a major industrialized nation at any time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_educational_attainment
How about giving them: Newark, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Ferguson, etc.?
Shouldn’t full reparations include relocation to one’s continent of ancestry?
Lots of black people are decent hard working family people - I’m ever so sure they resent white liberal elites in Hollywood using them for ‘pity party hatred’ by proxy ... of middle class whites....
