Last year, one of my favorite movies was "Get Out." It was marketed as a psychological thriller/horror film, and it did not disappoint. I was riveted, on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story line.
My friend and I recently discussed this film, and we agreed on its hidden motifs or undercurrents: the continued existence of racism in America, the power of the mind and its vulnerability to outside influence, the socio-economic consequences of being an outcast, the depravity of institutional racism, etc.
We had this movie analyzed up the a-hole, except for one very surprising thing...
"Get Out" is Based on Factual Events!
It's interesting that every other movie critic that reviewed "Get Out" came to the same conclusions that I did; namely, that the movie reflected greater society in every way except the actual story line!
But the crazy part about this film is that the message was right there, right in front of our very eyes! We didn't have to look into sociological messages, or ponder the existential reality of white racism directed subconsciously against blacks in the modern age.
No.
What "Get Out" was actually stating was that African Americans are deliberately hunted down by Big Pharma and other institutional powers for their organs.
Think this is bullshit? Think again!
Every time, without fail, some white, douchebag troll comes along to say that this issue is divisive and reeks of reverse racism. All lives matter, there are other important issues affecting all of us...blah, blah, blah...
Very few people want to talk about this because it's an issue that cuts to the core of what we believe. We think that our government institutions couldn't possibly be that depraved. We also think, for example, that the enormously massive issue of missing African Americans have a reasonable explanation.
The explanation is this: Big Pharma is hunting down blacks because black genes are superior to that of all other races. It therefore makes sense that black organs are much more robust and powerful than white or Asian organs.
Furthermore, blacks occupy the lowest strata of society, and are easily marginalized -- who would support them if indeed a vast conspiracy is against them?
