(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If you saw the movie, did you notice the obvious racism involved? I thought it was funny and sad, but yea, only like a couple people in my theater caught it and reacted and started laughing. If you haven't seen the movie, then you're probably like :???:


In this one scene, some guy is making a speech to the young mutants, and he asks them to join or be "enslaved" by the humans, the camera instantly turns to the black guy, Darwin, for a good and hard couple of seconds. I mean, slavery and the black guy... could they have been anymore straightforward? xD Not to mention, out of all the mutants or whatever, the black guy is the first to die...shortly after the whole enslavement speech.


Anyone else note that?

I remember during my AP US exam we had to write an essay about slavery and why it was condoned for so many years, but if you followed the prompts correctly you were basically writing about how effective and efficient it was.

**Im not saying it is/was, I just thought it was funny that they gave us a pro slavery essay

Once again, ONLY the black guy dies (that is a mutant).

I don't think the movie was trying to be racist.

I think the movie was trying to send a message to it's viewers about Unity and simply used black people as the best known example.
They couldn't have demonstrated the Jews because the Holocaust is on a whole other level of racism.

In all honesty, I didn't notice it in the least. In fact, I just had to visit Youtube to see it.
