Uproar over this show is beyond stupid. Alternate-history to explore "what-if" and their echoes in current society is not-new and is good

why would that require alt-history? slavery actually happened, so the "what-if" is evident in the racism & prejudice that still exists...

fantasizing about people being enslaved far longer than they were serves no purpose and gives no lesson that doesn't already exist

It reminds me of people who go house hunting with a black broker and say how much they like plantations style house. Tone deaf.

Who the fuck said that? Have several seats.

Stop trying to censor. Same as the man in the high castle. As a liberal, the left can get embarrassingly out of control

Man In High Castle - can you tell they are Jews by the color of their skin? Thats the difference! Dangerous propaganda in my opinion!

Also with man in the high castle that war ended the effects of that war is still very much alive

And highlight today's societal injustices

I actually don't need a entertainment show to 'highlight today's societal injustices' I'm very aware of them as is anyone with a tv

Bottom line, it's a tv show. And it's not "the confederacy was cool, we wish they won". It's sci if, fantasy, horror. Relax

Oh cool, I didn't realise I should relax, thanks for the advice

Or don't relax. Fight hard against free speech, and other liberal values. Judge. Without facts. Be offended by everything.

Reading their full interview, they clearly stated their goal to use the show to highlight that the war isn't over for many here. Like...art

And the article goes over how problematic that idea is...

No it doesn't. It's very thesis is that the show ignores the fact that the war doesn't feel over for black people in America.

Which means the show isn't for black people. We already know that. That means it's a PSA for whites centering whites. No thank you.
