A present day white supremacist gets thrust back in time where the African Americans rule and the whites are the enslaved.

Whats so special about that?
The first slave owner in America was black, he had 4 white indentured servants (slaves for seven years) and one black slave (whom he took to court to make him a slave for life).
And then the British used to ‘Jamaica’ Irishmen by enslaving them to work by the thousands in Jamaica.. but whites were considered poor slaves, not as hardy and sold for lower prices, so they shifted to breeding the white female Irish slaves to fetch higher prices from the kids.
Just plain horrible forgotten history.
Slavery (of both Blacks and whites) was horrible.
And what about Europe? The Christian Teutonic knights attacked and enslaved the pagan Latvian tribes in their northern crusades. My grandfather’s grandfather was a slave, my family being enslaved for about three hundred years. Bought and sold, forbidden to have last names, forbidden to leave the farm, forbidden to learn to read and write, hunted for sport and killed if they ran.
Yes I am white, and I am descended from slaves. I even know the name of the German family that formally owned us.
Hey I want reparations too! /s
The sad thing is that ‘common knowledge’ nowadays says that only Blacks were slaves and slavery was invented in America.
True, but properly done it would likely start some riots
Perhaps among Heinlein fans.
This isn’t even rape as in “oh that’s so bad”, this is “you are so bad YOU deserve it!”
There were Leftists in the past several election cycles who boasted of (wanting to) hate F&&& some girls.
Can you skip the ads for it when they saturate the online media platforms?
It is a series so it isn’t like it’ll blow over after a week.
And only black people were lynched.. < /s >
“Were blacks the ORIGINAL slave owners in Africa?”
You mean like “Were”? Sorry about dat.
Been done in the past with other movies.
Auto correct is a beotch
Surely the Irish should.
The first time Obeyme won, the youths were running wild in the Walmart strip mall screaming “Now we own YOU!”.
And that’s when I started taking my Dobermanns shopping with me.
Yep. That would be something. But Verhoeven butchered Starship Troopers so I wouldn’t hold my breath for a faithful rendition of Farnham’s Freehold out of Hollywood.
I have come to believe that Coming to America is satire of the highest order poking fun at many things the black political citizenry hold dear.
It did not just come out that way. The satire was totally by design and brilliantly conceived.
Yep.
But Django was unintentionally funny.
:)
Good point.
We actually fought 3 wars against slavery.

Farrakhan’s and his ilks wet dream, but a fantasy ....

This theme was used ina Harry Belafonte fim ‘White Man’s Burden’ about 20 years ago.
most of the slaves were taken to Brazil
