      the fact that Benioff and Weiss still never say the word "white" when talking about themselves producing "Confederate" is not reassuringhttps://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/888228234369703936 …

      they're happy to talk about the storytelling and "world building" possibilities of Confederate but deflect when asked about whiteness of GoT

      if they're not able to even discuss the whiteness of Game of Thrones, it doesn't suggest a great interest in really tackling white supremacy

      it's also troubling that Weiss calls GoT "fictional" & Confederate an "alternate history," and then uses this to justify whiteness of GoT

      hard not to see the choice to create Confederate in the context of the choice to center whiteness in the open fictional world of GoTpic.twitter.com/zBUz3mJKKM

      no doubt Black producers will have major impact on show, question is why did white guys - who never want to say "white" - want to make it?

      troubling that Benioff/Weiss had "an idea" to make a film about slavery continuing, but never the "idea" to make GoT less white/patriarchal

      these white men in power had the "idea" for Confederate but not the "idea" to remove themselves from a position of power in its production

          that "idea" also didn't come to HBO, which is again why it's *difficult* to believe that this show will truly challenge systems of power

          in any case, general pro tip for the press tour: say "white" "whiteness" or "white supremacy" at least once ever
