The American Society of Magical Negroes - Trailer HD
Upcoming Quality Film - New American Cinema

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gizIbhk5Eu4

Social-Democratic Scandinavian here.
This movie looks promising and thought provoking.

I had almost given up on Hollywood lately (too much childish superhero movies) and then this film gives me renewed hope for contemporary drama.

Definitely gonna give this film a chance when it hits the theaters. :goldencheck:

Why do you call a film about this important uncomfortable topic a "race-baiting movie"?

This is a long standing American social issue and trope. For your information:

You said you were Scandinavian. How the hell would you know what a long standing American anything is? ROFLMAO, you think what you read/hear online is accurate? The fact you have to identify yourself front and center by your political affiliation says all I need to know. You care more about how others view than whether you're actually right or wrong. So by all means, pretend us Americans give a crap what someone thousands of miles away thinks about "American issues."

Dude trust him, it's a long standing American issue/trope from the ancient year long long ago: 2001.

movie looks pretty good. i will watch it when it releases.

Can't watch movie because it would invoke cultural appropriation.
Can't not watch movie because it would be racism.

What do I do?

I don't mind having racially based dialogue as long as it's a two-way street. I'm sure some Black people do have issues with White people; that's fine. As a White person, I have my own critiques of everyone else, as well as my own people, too. It's trying to be colorblind and ignore race that's the problem.

I sent a parody song to OP by DM.
Sung by Al Sharpton himself on the megaphone.
On the subject of Obama.
I don't think the mods understand parody so I'm not posting it myself.

the movie is satire. scathing satire by the looks of it.

the main character (the black guy) has to break through the whole magical negro trope so he can be with the girl apparently. but by doing that, all the black people who have magical powers because they're 'magical' will lose their powers. it's a pretty clever twist on the whole theme.

plus, i watch anything with David Alan Grier:
