Surprised about who Died FIRST....


All the pretty boys and guys for that matter pretty much bit the dust first lol..that was a surprise 🐸

i'm glad the black girl survived even though she was probably labeled the cheating b**** of a friend in the movie. not a bad movie for a low budget movie..the acting was terrible at least 🐮

i'm glad the black girl survived


why exactly?

It's so funny how openly racist and obviously oblivious people can be but hey as long as it's "for" someone black racism is acceptable huh?

You hate Congress but every election you re-elect YOUR "guy" and wonder why things never change!

moron, please explain this racism you are reading here i dont see any

You would of clearly seen it no doubt if he said he was glad the white girl/s survived.

Understand now?

reply

Wrong, *beep*

"White girls" defines a group he would have been pulling for based on the skin color. "Black girl" defines a single girl who is simply described as "black" to tell her apart. He could have said "I'm glad the girl with the 96 IQ survived" if you would have known that he was reffing the black girl. You wouldn't, though, would you? Notice I said "black girl" as a distinctive label, not as a racist attack.

Now go suck a turd, liberal.

This isn't racist. Bias, maybe, but certainly not racist. Racism is based in power dynamics. No one is being subjugated. Also just because someone is pro-black doesn't mean they are anti-white.

... but we're told that if you're pro-white then you MUST be anti-black, KKK member, Neo-Nazi scum sucking male pig (because a woman (likely a feminist)) would never be pro-white.

I laugh at the wonderful hypersensitivity that has developed in this country in the last 8-years.

Thought experiment:
We know that a wedding cake baker cannot refuse a homosexual couple... least they be run out of town on a rail.
What if a KKK couple came to a black baker? Could HE refuse them?


Ah, the shoe is on the other hand now...!

You're using a false dichotomy to make an argument.

The only reason people say that people who are pro-white are anti-black/kkk members is that is who tends to be the people who proclaim pro-white. White people are still the majority and everything is rooted in white/western civilization. When you are the basis of how a society is run, everything is already in your favor, what's the need to proclaim it any further? But when you have systematic history of oppression then it's a bit different, things aren't on your side so being pro-black isn't an exclusion of white, it's just trying to level the playing field so that people of color are treated the same way as white people. But pro-white people aren't making an argument like that, they are just trying to maintain the status quo.

A black baker can't deny service to anyone, only if they request them to make things that are against the law, i.e. racist. That's how business work, if a gay couple denied service to a straight couple they would also be held to the same standard.

Your arguments are flawed and it looks like you're are either trying to argue for arguments sake or you really believe what you are typing.

I thought it was referring to the standard horror movie trope that the black person always gets killed first: http://allthetropes.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Dude_Dies_First

reply

sucks that so many white people died

reply

No doubt this would have been a very different post had the black girl died first, and likely would have included a call to boycott the movie and something along the lines of "I turned it off right when they decided to kill off the black character first."

reply

Actually, people overestimate the tendency of horror movies to kill off black characters. That was a common cliche in the past, but it's less true today. However, I don't agree that they hesitate to kill black people (out of misguided political correctness)either.

I wasn't surprised at all by who died first. It was the girl who showed her boobs. Promiscuous girls do still get killed quickly in horror movies. But strangely it isn't so much some kind of misogynist attack on promiscuous female characters since non-virgins and even somewhat slutty girls (like the two female survivors in this) do SOMETIMES survive horror films, but a girl GETTING NAKED on screen is always the kiss of death. It's kind of a strange you-gave-me-a-boner-therefore-you-must-DIE attitude that isn't necessarily anti-feminist or misogynist, but is rather interesting. . .
