Netflix quietly canned a video project that had been in the works for years addressing racist depictions in film and television, a new report claims.

In early 2021, the streaming giant approved a series of explainer videos to "run alongside movies or television shows featuring racist or stereotypical caricatures." The videos would highlight "the use of blackface and 'yellowface' in Hollywood, as well as the depiction of native Americans in classic films and westerns," Semafor reported.

The company's racially-focused video series began in the months after riots and protests erupted around the country following the death of George Floyd.

They probably figured out people would just turn off Netflix and cancel their subscription rather than being forced to watch stupid condescending “anti-racist” explanations.

Probably targeted a lot of their own movies and that is why they decided to cancel.

However, they still distributed “Cuties” so everyone should still cancel them over that and other similar garbage vs. funding that.

From the article: The videos would highlight "the use of blackface and 'yellowface' in Hollywood

Hollywood; a center of the Leftists' mental illness. Netflix could have shown the Leftists of today in blackface:

Ted Danson

Howard Stern

Jimmy Kimmel

Justin Trudeau

Sarah Silverman

They probably couldn’t find enough examples after they got past David Carradine in “Kung Fu” and Micky Rooney in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.

Anti-racism is racist.

Anti-racism is racist.

Absolutely correct. That is the logical conclusion from reading Ibram Kendi's book.

That’s only the beginning of Kendi’s problems ...

Mrs. Mountain was required to read the book for employment reasons. I read it too, so we could discuss. Kendi is a deeply disturbed individual; he needs to work out his own demons before lecturing anybody on anything.
